10/1 |
Admirable Lad
Six-time AW winner and his last success was over C&D last February; returned to form with creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f handicap) two weeks ago but he meets most of his rivals on unfavourable terms here and this looks tough.

Due Date
C&D win last January was the first of four wins in 2024; seems to have gone off the boil since the latest of them in August, though, and was never involved back here 19 days ago; needs to raise his game.

- Fast Flo
- S A Wallace / Mrs C A Dunnett

16/1 |
Fast Flo
Went close in a classified event over C&D on penultimate run but she couldn't pose a serious threat at Wolverhampton last time and that took her overall record to 0-31; others are more persuasive.

- Gypsy Nation
- Frederick Larson / M Appleby

18/1 |
Gypsy Nation
Perked up with a respectable fourth at a big price at Southwell (6f, handicap) last week but he's still a maiden after 14 starts and he faces a difficult assignment at the weights.

Heartrate
Looks interesting on his creditable efforts at Wolverhampton (third of 11) and Kempton (fourth of 12) in November/December but he's been well held in two runs since and losing streak is now up to 16; mixed messages.

- Jumira Bridge
- T Eaves / D Shaw

50/1 |
Jumira Bridge
Veteran who is an eight-time AW winner including four at Chelmsford; however, he needs a major revival having finished in rear at big prices in all three runs this winter.

- Lilkian
- Rossa Ryan / Darryll Holland

|
11/4 |
Lilkian
All 12 wins have been on AW and he nearly added another to his record when he was just caught at Lingfield (6f handicap) last week; that was a big run from a wide draw and he has leading claims if he can repeat that form.

- Magic Fluke
- David Probert / J R Jenkins

14/1 |
Magic Fluke
Fair efforts when beaten around 3l in classified events at Southwell (6f/5f) last twice but his sole win was in November 2023 and he's drawn widest of all here; others look stronger.

- L Morris / P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck

|
7/4 |
Match Anthem
Ended last year with two 7f handicap wins and the first was gained at this track; came up a bit short in hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (classified event) last Saturday but that was a creditable effort back at 6f and he's respected.

- Miss Moonshine
- Oliver Searle / B R Millman

18/1 |
Miss Moonshine
Has not been at the top of her game this winter but her fourth at Lingfield (6f; Lilkian second) last week was an eyecatching effort from off the pace; looks interesting if she can build on that and all four wins have been on AW.

- One Moonbeam

125/1 |
One Moonbeam
Lightly raced 4yo but she's not shown much, out the back in classified events at Southwell (6f/7f) last twice; cheekpieces are now added and she needs a transformation back in trip; stablemate of and sister to Miss Moonshine.

- Q Twenty Boy

14/1 |
Q Twenty Boy
10yo who is not easy to predict but he won over 5f here in August and had a near miss over C&D on his penultimate run; enters the reckoning on that form and he has a better draw than at Wolverhampton last time.
|
|

- Shades Of May
- George Bass / M D I Usher

|
9/1 |
Shades Of May
Unexposed 5yo who made an encouraging start in handicaps when fourth over C&D three weeks ago; carried his head a bit awkwardly but he was only beaten 2l and has possibilities if he can build on that; yard also runs Q Twenty Boy.
