Verdict

BOOK OF LIFE and Kelpie Grey are both well treated if things fall right, the former narrowly shading the vote. Barleybrown, Archangel Josepi and Oxford Circus also need a close look in a competitive handicap.

5	Latest success at Wolverhampton in February 2025. Threatening to come good off a handy mark recently, again not seen to best effect when 2 lengths fourth at Wolverhampton (8.5f) latest. Can snap his losing sequence if things fall right back in a 0-55. 1st Pick 5 Book Of Life Jockey: Paddy Bradley Trainer: Patrick Morris J: Paddy Bradley T: Patrick Morris	100	-	-	-	13%

4	Looked ready to snap his long losing run when third off this much reduced mark at Musselburgh on penultimate start. Disappointing over same C&D subsequently, however, return to all-weather may well suit his strong-travelling style (only third start on this surface). 2nd Pick 4 Kelpie Grey Jockey: Lauren Young Trainer: Jim Goldie J: Lauren Young T: Jim Goldie	99	-	-	-	7%

12	Four-time C&D winner. Knocking on the door with consecutive seconds over C&D in September. Again not far off that form when fourth at Southwell last time and likely to be thereabouts if return of blinkers has the desired effect. 3rd Pick 12 Barleybrown Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: Ruth Carr J: Joanna Mason T: Ruth Carr	99	-	-	-	13%
