- Going: None specified
Blue Ace (NZ)
308- Form 30-
- Age 8
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer M Wellings
- Jockey Mr F Windsor Clive
little encouragement so far and an absence to overcome
- Form 4
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer P Hobbs & J White
- Jockey R Widger
fair effort behind Pipe's Sweet Iron at Taunton earlier in the month when not fluent, should have learnt from that run and can this middle-distance flat handicapper can improve for the experience gained there
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer J R Fanshawe
- Jockey D Gallagher
useful on his day on the flat but has been off the track for a long time and may need the outing
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer Mrs N Smith
- Jockey A Thornton
winner over a mile on the flat at Brighton on soft ground for new connections having formerly been with Barry Hills, surprise if he is good enough to trouble some of these
- Age 6
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer M Wilkinson
- Jockey T Jenks
cheaply bought out of Brian Rothwell's stable, prefers faster ground on the flat so it would be a surprise if he was good enough
- Form 10-34
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer M Pitman
- Jockey R I Mccarthy
bumper winner who probably unsuited by bottomless ground at Folkestone last time; stable remains in good form
Hawthorn
58- Form 36-0
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer J FitzGerald
- Jockey A Dobbin
has shown little in three starts so far
Impek (FR)
22- Form 2
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer Miss H Knight
- Jockey J Culloty
lost little in defeat behind the useful Fondmort at Kempton on Boxing Day; this represents a big drop in class and with improvement to come the French import should be tough to beat
- Form 1-3
- Age 7
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer Mrs M Reveley
- Jockey A Dempsey
not seen since close third behind Moonlake at Aintree in October but trainer's horses in good form so fitness should not be a problem
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer M & D Easterby
- Jockey R Garritty
off the track a long time and is probably best watched today
- Form 2P
- Age 5
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer T McGovern
- Jockey A P McCoy
pulled up latest and is better judged on earlier second; still has improvement to find though
- Age 7
- Weight 11-2
stable coming into form but this one is making a belated debut and is probably best watched
- Form 0-0
- Age 6
- Weight 11-2
- Trainer J Gifford
- Jockey R P Varian
one of the yard's lesser lights and difficult to fancy
- Form P
- Age 6
- Weight 11-2
any marketmoves would be interesting but unlikely on evidence to date
Juno Beach
272- Form 160-
- Age 5

- Jockey J R Kavanagh
bumper winner but has done nothing since and impossible to be confident about

- Jockey J P McNamara
moderate on the flat and making hurdles debut today
- Form 40
- Age 4
- Weight 10-5

- Jockey R Thornton
shown little in two starts over hurdles to suggest being good enough to take a hand
Sofisio
28- Age 4
- Weight 10-5
- Trainer Miss S Wilton
- Jockey N D Fehily
well beaten on the all weather at Southwell on Monday and is likely to be similarly outclassed here as well
