3/1(+14%)
(2) Qaasid 3/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 7/2) 23 days ago, weakening 2f out. Bounce back not ruled out with the visor refitted down in grade.

Muzaffar

28
28/1(-75%)
(7) Muzaffar 28/1, Fair form in 2 starts as a juvenile but ran no sort of race on return from a lengthy absence when last of 10 in a Southwell novice (1m) 6 weeks ago. Market may prove the best guide now handicapping.

Contrast

5
5/1(+33%)
(9) Contrast 5/1, Came good at third attempt following a lengthy absence when scoring at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in October. Lesser effort next start but back to form when runner-up to a thriving rival over C&D 6 weeks ago. Claims with a repeat.

4th (5) Crownthorpe (9/1 +0%)
Crownthorpe

9
9/1(+0%)
(5) Crownthorpe 9/1, First run since leaving Richard Fahey when 13/2, landed 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago, having run of race. Likely to find things tougher in this line up.

5th (3) Freak Out (4/1 +47%)
Freak Out

4
4/1(+47%)
(3) Freak Out 4/1, Latest win over C&D in October. Fourth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, unable to quicken under 2f out. Has eased back down to last winning mark and he's no forlorn hope in an open-looking handicap.

6th (4) Athmad (14/1 +13%)
Athmad

14
14/1(+13%)
(4) Athmad 14/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago.

Master Of Combat

4
4/1(-100%)
(1) Master Of Combat 4/1, Winner at Doncaster (1m) in June and he arrives here on the back of a string of consistent efforts on AW, third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago, caught further back than pair that beat him. One to bear in mind.
6
8th (6) Mafia Power (8/1 -23%)
Mafia Power

8
8/1(-23%)
(6) Mafia Power 8/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 13/2) 6 days ago, holding every chance. Expected to give his running again.

(8) Tathmeen 6.5/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 13/2, below best when sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. Not out of things for each-way purposes.

7/1(+22%)
(7) Gowanbuster 7/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (7/4) 6 days ago. Bounce back certainly not ruled out.

Whiteandblue

14
14/1(-56%)
(4) Whiteandblue 14/1, Maiden who ran right up to her best when third in a C&D handicap in December. Seemingly not 100% when disappointing over 5f here 38 days ago and no surprise to see a better showing.

4th (2) Macho Pride (6/1 +0%)
Macho Pride

6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Macho Pride 6/1, Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, weakening 1f out. However, mark has eased a little more and this drop in grade another likely plus. Not out of things.

5th (6) Sam's Call (3.33/1 +33%)
Sam's Call

3.33
3.33/1(+33%)
(6) Sam's Call 3.33/1, 5f winner on turf who arrives here on back of a good second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago, headed last ½f. No surprise to see him go well again from same mark.
12
6th (12) Mutabaahy (12/1 +0%)
Mutabaahy

12
12/1(+0%)
(12) Mutabaahy 12/1, Course winner. Thirty four runs since last win in 2021. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 6 days ago, keeping on without proving a match for the front pair. Not out of things from this basement mark.
10
7th (10) Mrs Dibble (33/1 -18%)
Mrs Dibble

33
33/1(-18%)
(10) Mrs Dibble 33/1, Maiden who ended time with Ian Williams in good form, second of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in September 2021. However, been absent since and probably best watched.
9
8th (9) Atrafan (7.5/1 -88%)
Atrafan

7.5
7.5/1(-88%)
(9) Atrafan 7.5/1, 6-time C&D winner who arrives here in good order, adding to his tally in a C&D minor event 2 weeks ago, by a neck from Mutabaahy. More on his plate back in a handicap but foolish to rule out in present groove.
5
9th (5) Far From A Ruby (66/1 -164%)
Far From A Ruby

66
66/1(-164%)
(5) Far From A Ruby 66/1, Latest win at Ayr (1m) in August. Seventh of 11 in handicap back at that venue (7.2f, soft, 10/3) in September, racing a shade closer to the pace than ideal. However, all 3 career victories have come at 1m+

10th (3) Crocodile Power (3/1 +14%)
Crocodile Power

3
3/1(+14%)
(3) Crocodile Power 3/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in November. Good second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 16 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Jackmeister Rudi

33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Jackmeister Rudi 33/1, Opened account for present yard at Catterick (6f) in September and similar form when runner-up at that venue a month later. Bumped start/trapped wide when seventh in handicap at Southwell (6f) in November and no forlorn hope here.

Quintus Arrius

7.5
7.5/1(+32%)
(9) Quintus Arrius 7.5/1, Posted promising second at Ayr (6f) on racecourse bow in September. Not in same form at Redcar since but it's still early days and he's tried in cheekpieces now.

Saracen Head

2.25
2.25/1(+55%)
(10) Saracen Head 2.25/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 10/3) on debut. Off 8 months. Should have more to offer.

Great State

4

(6) Great State 4/1, Opened account at second attempt when taking 10-runner novice event (9/4) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in November. Should have more to offer and holds strong claims.

5th (5) Fox Master (3.33/1 -122%)
Fox Master

3.33
3.33/1(-122%)
(5) Fox Master 3.33/1, Promising sort. Won 9-runner maiden (6/5) over C&D on debut 14 days ago, driven out. Likely to improve and is one for shortlist.

Eccles Street

40
40/1(-21%)
(7) Eccles Street 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at this course (8f, 18/1) on debut 18 days ago. Down in trip. Others more persuasive.

1.25
1.25/1(-25%)
(3) Razoni 1.25/1, Promising individual. 4/6, second of 7 in minor event at this C&D 27 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains open to improvement and a bold show likely.
6
2nd (6) United Force (4.5/1 -13%)
United Force

4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(6) United Force 4.5/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 32 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon here.
2
3rd (2) Old Smoke (10/1 +55%)
Old Smoke

10
10/1(+55%)
(2) Old Smoke 10/1, 60,000 gns foal, Caravaggio gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Nell Quickly and 1m winner Shaaqaaf, both useful. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

4th (4) Tajdif (3/1 +45%)
Tajdif

3
3/1(+45%)
(4) Tajdif 3/1, 150,000 gns foal, Invincible Spirit colt. Plenty to like about this colt on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.
8
5th (8) Goldcasing (28/1 -180%)
Goldcasing

28
28/1(-180%)
(8) Goldcasing 28/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 9/2) on debut 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's probably capable of a good deal better.
7
6th (7) Youm Jameel (10/1 -11%)
Youm Jameel

10
10/1(-11%)
(7) Youm Jameel 10/1, No Nay Never gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 6f winner Hello Youmzain and smart winner up to 1¼m Royal Youmzain. Dam unraced. Will be of interest if the market vibes are upbeat.
1
7th (1) Mayjority (100/1 -52%)
Mayjority

100
100/1(-52%)
(1) Mayjority 100/1, Mayson gelding. Dam unraced from family of Oaks winner Reams of Verse. Yard is hardly a frequent source of winning newcomers and he's probably best watched.
5
8th (5) Tintin Potter (20/1 +60%)
Tintin Potter

20
20/1(+60%)
(5) Tintin Potter 20/1, 62,000 gns yearling. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Sarista and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f winner Tahoo and winner up to 7f Asmund. Worth a peek in the betting.

Army Of India

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(6) Army Of India 4.5/1, Possesses a very patchy profile but ran one his better races when ¾-length fourth of 9 to Papa Don't Preach in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Wouldn't be certain to back that up, though.
11
(11) Golden Rainbow (12/1 +14%)
Golden Rainbow

12
12/1(+14%)
(11) Golden Rainbow 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 11/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 43 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Geoffrey Harker. Capable of giving another good account with useful claimer in the saddle.
1
1st (1) Pay For Adaay (3.5/1 +22%)
Pay For Adaay

3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(1) Pay For Adaay 3.5/1, Makes handicap debut after winning brace of minor events, improving to defy a penalty when an authoritative winner at Southwell (5f) on New Year's Day. Remains unexposed at 5f and opening mark doesn't look too harsh, so bold bid is expected.
9
2nd (9) Pockley (12/1 +0%)
Pockley

12
12/1(+0%)
(9) Pockley 12/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in December. 7/4, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 51 days ago, missing break. Still seems in good heart though and should be in the mix if getting away on terms this time.
7
3rd (7) Lihou (7.5/1 +12%)
Lihou

7.5
7.5/1(+12%)
(7) Lihou 7.5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/4) 31 days ago by length from Bellagio Man, scoting with bit in hand. Remains potentially well treated despite 4 lb rise and he rates a player.
3
4th (3) Bellagio Man (4/1 +50%)
Bellagio Man

4
4/1(+50%)
(3) Bellagio Man 4/1, Won over 6f here in November before producing fine placed efforts in his next 5 outings. Looked outpaced when ¾-length fifth of 9 to Papa Don't Preach over C&D (9/2) 20 days ago and others are preferred despite good course record.
8
5th (8) Mighty Power (7.5/1 -50%)
Mighty Power

7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(8) Mighty Power 7.5/1, Sprung 20/1 surprise when winning here (6f) in January and backed that effort up with a good third of 8 in a similar event 6 days ago. Perhaps not an obvious to candidate to improve for the step down to 5f for the first time, though.
5
6th (5) Stone Of Destiny (28/1 -100%)
Stone Of Destiny

28
28/1(-100%)
(5) Stone Of Destiny 28/1, Tricky sort ran well on second outing for this yard when runer-up at Southwell in December but he's failed to make an impact since and is still without a win since 2020. Racing from career-low mark but isn't ever one for maximum confidence.
10
7th (10) Melody King (25/1 -25%)
Melody King

25
25/1(-25%)
(10) Melody King 25/1, Latest win at Beverley in August and held form on subsequent 2 outings. Down the field when last seen at Wolverhampton, though, and others are persuasive.
12
8th (12) Primo's Comet (66/1 -65%)
Primo's Comet

66
66/1(-65%)
(12) Primo's Comet 66/1, C&D winner. 40/1, 5 lengths seventh of 9 to Papa Don't Preach in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Seems to his lost his form this winter and is hard to fancy on recent efforts.
4
9th (4) Impeach (14/1 -27%)
Impeach

14
14/1(-27%)
(4) Impeach 14/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Soon back to form when third of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago and whilst it's possible he may strip fitter again here (previous outing was only second after absence), others appeal as likelier winners.
2
10th (2) Papa Don't Preach (18/1 -157%)
Papa Don't Preach

18
18/1(-157%)
(2) Papa Don't Preach 18/1, Still not too long with this yard and improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (16/1) at this C&D 20 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Respected from 2 lb higher mark.
