16:55 Thaki

Most of these have plenty to prove but THAKI came good with an emphatic win in a classified event over C&D three weeks ago and he may well be able to dominate again off his revised mark back in a handicap. The pick of the opposition could be Jungle Inthebungle, who showed signs of a revival with his third in a big field at Thirsk on Monday and is well treated if he can build on that.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

17:30 Arlady Aitch

Three Dons and Regal Rhapsody have both shown more than enough to suggest they can win at this level but their recent efforts have been underwhelming and perhaps the answer might be ARLADY AITCH, who gave away quite a bit of ground on the turn into the straight when midfield in a Chelmsford novice on last month’s debut and has obvious potential to build on that performance. Reem Zabeel also showed promise on her debut and is second choice.

18:00 Twilight Secret

An open race in which the vote goes to James Tate’s 3yo TWILIGHT SECRET, who gave an odds-on rival a scare in a Newcastle novice two weeks ago and is an interesting contender back up in trip on his handicap debut. Another unexposed handicap newcomer Tawaazon is feared most, though last month’s C&D winners Canford Bay and Verreaux Eagle are respected. Show Me A Sunset could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck, while Tathmeen also has claims if this sets up for his closing style.

18:30 Sky Blue Thinking

The widest stall isn’t optimal for SKY BLUE THINKING but that aside she looks to have plenty to recommend her as she bids to make it 5-5 for her new stable. Far From A Ruby may give her most to think about.

19:00 Across The Nile

Polam Lane came from well back to win at Catterick 11 days ago and his pedigree offers hope he can do even better on the AW. Silk Tie will appreciate returning to this track but ACROSS THE NILE was second in a stronger race at Kempton last month and may be the answer.

Scale Force George Rooke Wolverhampton February 2, 2021

19:30 Nurse Florence

Last-time-out winners Girl From Ipanema and Priscilla’s Wish look worth opposing so the ones to concentrate on may be Distinction, Alcazan and NURSE FLORENCE. With Jamie Osborne’s yard in good form, the last-named may prove the answer as she has been running well and finishing strongly enough to suggest this first try at 7f may bear fruit.

20:00 Justice Protecol

Charlie Appleby has a good strike-rate with 2yos here and his newcomer Military Crown has a striking pedigree but it’s rather unnerving to see the colt fitted with a hood and, for that reason, preference is for the proven experience of Chelmsford winner JUSTICE PROTECOL, who is bred to be suited by today’s step up in trip.

20:30 Merlin’s Beard

Richard Hughes’ 3yo MERLIN’S BEARD (nap) has made rapid progress in recent weeks and can defy the penalty he shoulders for landing a pretty good prize at Bath on Sunday. Nicks Not Wonder also comes here after a recent Bath win and is feared most.
