9th	1	5	Raven's View (G) Showed more than previously when sixth of 8 in a novice over 6f at Newcastle (125/1) in January. Will benefit from return to 7f+ and is the type to do better now handicapping.	67-6947	Sean Kirrane M Dods	3	61.2kg	21 20/1
1st	2	12	Kingofthecarnival (G) FAV Still green when sixth of 12 in a novice over 7f at Kempton (200/1) in October. Seemingly brought along with handicaps in mind so is open to improvement on reappearance.	476-174	Hollie Doyle A Watson	3	60.8kg	2.88 15/8
8th	3	7	Panthere Noir (G) P Remains a maiden and continued below form when third of 4 in a handicap at this C&D (14/1) in December. Handicapper gives him a squeak after a 3-month break.	639321	Jason Hart L Russell & M Scudamore	3	60.8kg	19 18/1
10th	4	3	Laser Luck (F) Lightly-raced filly who seemed unsuited by a speed test stepping back down in trip when sixth of 7 at Lingfield (11/2) on yard debut 12 days ago. Return to 7f should suit.	0-60555	Kaiya Fraser G Tutty	3	60.3kg	41 40/1
6th	5	9	Popty Ping (F) V Off the mark in first-time visor at Southwell in December and rather in-and-out since, back to form when second of 8 at here (1m) 19 days ago. That made it 6 of 7 starts in the frame at this venue so…	261427	Mark Winn D O'Meara	3	60.3kg	5 4/1
2nd	6	11	Archangel Josepi (G) Well supported and duly returned to form when third of 8 in a handicap here (1m) 19 days ago. Back in a 0-60 but may prove vulnerable to a less exposed rival.	24-3732	Ben Robinson B Ellison	3	59.9kg	7 6/1
3rd	7	8	Maximum Velocity (G) Little impact in 3 turf maidens last summer, seeming unsuited by the drop back to 5f when last seen at Beverley in August. Wouldn't be the first from this yard to prove a different proposition now ha…	201932	Rowan Scott N Tinkler	3	59.9kg	11 10/1
5th	8	6	South Coast Star (F) Lightly raced filly who a well-beaten third on handicap debut after 10 weeks off at Wolverhampton recently but there wasn't a great deal of promise to take. Up-and-coming 5-lb claimer takes over.	526710	Jack Callan H Palmer	3	59.9kg	12 11/1
12th	9	10	Sirhana (F) Has shown little in 4 starts, including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month.	7-66405	Cam Hardie R A Fahey	3	59.4kg	41 40/1
11th	10	1	Populus (F) Little impact in 3 starts, the latest on yard debut over C&D in January. Huge step forward required on handicap debut.	95-60	Lauren Young S Hanlon	3	59.4kg	29 28/1
7th	11	2	Mereside Princess (F) P Saw her race out well back down at 6f despite having again been keen enough early on in a change of headgear when third of 8 at Southwell (12/1) in January. This return to 7f may help.	431123	William Pyle T D Barron	3	59kg	9.50 17/2
4th	12	4	Dream Forever (G) Ran easily his best race after 5 months off when second of 12 in a handicap over 6f (18/1) just over 3 weeks ago. Leading claims with that under his belt and 7f set to suit at least as well.	88-2400	P J McDonald Jedd O'Keeffe	3	57.6kg	11 10/1
