7/1 |
Timetobenice
Sole win was a Polytrack maiden; 0-8 in handicaps but edging down the weights and has shown regularly that he's capable of being on the premises, including with cheekpieces on last two starts; also tongue tied latest; Hollie Doyle's only booked ride on the card.

Switchel
Sole win (15 races) was C&D in November; consistent this autumn/winter and should not be far away, assuming the new blinkers have no adverse effect.

Palazzo Persico
All three wins from the rear; scored in first-time visor over C&D in December; not so good in that headgear since (fair effort penultimate start) and he now reverts to the blinkers worn on four occasions (twice runner-up) last summer; player on one of his good days; Hector Crouch's only booked ride at the meeting.

Solanna
Broke a losing run at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and went close from off the pace over C&D five weeks ago; those were his best efforts for over a year and he used to be capable of a bit better; shortlisted.

Fihrayn
14-race maiden; finished on the heels of Solanna over C&D on penultimate start and ran respectably in first-time blinkers at Kempton (1m) latest; return to 1m2f should suit but he's not the percentage call.

Cloud Free
It was over 1m here in October that he finally made the breakthrough, on penultimate start for Michael Bell; ran creditably both starts since, with third at Lingfield one month ago for new yard being his closest finish from five attempts at 1m2f/1m3f; needs a bit extra and now tries a tongue-tie; in-form yard.

Muhib
13l behind the first two when he took third in a Newcastle novice (1m2f, Tapeta) in October, shortly before leaving the Gosdens for 18,000gns; last of 11 when 200-1 for Southwell maiden soon after that; lacks solid claims but going handicapping should offer a better chance.

Mc'ted
Ridden last two years by Alice Bond; four wins over this sort of trip last April-September, one of them over C&D; good second in November, followed by lesser shows on his last two starts for Joseph Parr; back on his last winning mark and can't be dismissed.

Jenson Benson
All four of his wins have been at this track, the latest over C&D two years ago; on his lowest mark since 2021 and there's plenty to suggest he still has place claims.
