13:27 Kolisi

Not many of these are serious win contenders against KOLISI who duly delivered on his handicap debut at Hereford on Sunday despite being 6lb out of the weights. He should be hard to beat off effectively just 1lb higher although if this quick return proves beyond him, then Poet’s Reflection would be the one most likely to capitalise as she can go well fresh and likes it here. This trip is on the sharp side for Cry Wolf but Sweet Nightingale has possibilities now handicapping.

14:02 Honestlyntruthfully

Several with claims. Good Impression (second choice) will go very close if none the worse for his Ffos Las fall while Gerard Mentor has the ability to win if more focused than he was in the autumn. HONESTLYNTRUFULLY disappointed over a longer trip here last time but may be better judged on his previous Plumpton second.

14:35 Go Scare Go

Mad About Sally looks a better proposition than most while Bolsover Bill has the form to win if repeating his Newcastle second. He looks the main threat to GO SACRE GO, who ran well for a long way in a better contest last time.

15:10 Inca De Lafayette

Diligent will be a tough nut to crack if resuming in top form but INCA DE LAFAYETTE looks the safer option. Both Gold In Doha and Tip Top Tonto should be watched for positive signs in the betting.

15:45 Earth Lord

Topweight EARTH LORD is having a solid season and he still looks on a competitive mark. He earns preference ahead of Time To Tinker and Flashing Glance.

16:20 Red Happy (NAP)

Most of these find winning difficult. RED HAPPY (nap) turned the corner in a big way last week and he’s taken to defy a penalty. Fulgurix got stuck in the mud last time and he could be the main threat, ahead of Boagrius.

16:52 Timely Gift

Not a strong handicap and a suitable opportunity for TIMELY GIFT to follow up his decisive Chepstow success. Helford River has made a good start over fences and he has undergone wind surgery since being a little below his best last time. Queen Of The Court also has claims.

17:25 Major Fortune

This looks an open bumper. Preference is for MAJOR FORTUNE, who probably bumped into a very good horse here a month ago. Sarsen is respected on the strength of his debut effort and he’s second choice, followed by Camulus.
