Mercurius Power (G)
[TP]
Without a win since August 2024. Third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10/1) 11 days ago, running well at a level he should remain competitive in. Each-way claims from the same mark.

Liberty Bird (F)
Hasn't won since September 2024, though did finish a close second here in October. Tenth of 12 in 7f handicap at Lingfield (66/1) 51 days ago, dwelt at the start and never involved on first outing since leaving Alice Haynes. Leap of faith …

Dream Illusion (F)
Resumed winning ways first time without headgear on fourth start for current connections in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (25/1) 11 days ago, leading near line after not clear run 2f out. Fancied to be in the shake up from 3 lb higher.

Imola (M)
FAV
C&D winner last month and ran a cracker when narrow second under penalty at Wolverhampton 10 days later. Proved to be a disappointment (4 lb well-in) when fourth of 11 at this C&D (5/4 fav) 19 days ago but is the type to bounce quickly.

Sherlock (G)
Maiden after 18 starts who was below form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 7 days ago, failing to see his race out. Tough to warm to.

Amelia's Joy (F)

Winless from 7 starts, unable to back up better effort in December when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (33/1) 11 days ago. Hard to see her opening her account here.

Calaxy (F)
[H1P]
Won here in October 2024 and showed promise when fourth at Kempton in cheekpieces in December but wasn't in the same form when sixth of 8 in handicap at same track (15/2) 4 weeks ago, racing freely. First-time hood could help her settle be…

Springbok (G)
Maiden after 14 starts but has shown some promise in recent AW handicaps, shaping as if in form but free-going tendencies meant he was ended up with too much to do when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 11 days ago. Capable but n…

Heretic (G)
[TP]
Dual C&D winner in October but hasn't won in 4 runs since. Ran well when third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 19 days ago, headed near finish having been keener than ideal in headgear. Considered from the same mark.

Arthur Rose (M)
Hit the ground running for current yard with 2 Lingfield wins in November and again ran well when second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (15/2) just under 6 weeks ago. Should remain competitive.

Returned from 5 months off with excuses before second of 9 in conditions race at this C&D (10/1) 25 days ago. Only fifth of 10 at Newcastle (7/2) 18 days ago so needs to get back on track returned to handicap company. Has not won for 15 ra…
