Down in the weights but has a bit to prove. (Forecast 15.00) 3 41F43/P SAINTEMILION (FR) 41 b g Diamond Green Matakana Lorcan Williams (3) P F Nicholls 120 Jockey Colours: Yellow, black chevron, check cap Timeform says: Fairly useful winning hurdler in France who has failed to fire both starts for current yard, seeming amiss over this C&D last month. Interesting what the market makes of him. (Forecast 11.00) 4 P2P/242 OSCAR HOOF (IRE) 36 D b g Oscar New Legislation tp Edward Austin (8) Ian Williams 117 Jockey Colours: Pink, black cross belts, pink sleeves, black stars Timeform says: Showed plenty of ability remains (first start for 16 months) when second in Worcester claimer in August for new yard. Headed late in selling company last month and he's not easy to place at present. (Forecast 19.00) P HOLLYWOOD KEN (IRE) 96 D b g Arcano Third Dimension t Harry Teal Mrs Fiona Shaw 117 Jockey Colours: Black, white hoops, orange and white hooped sleeves, royal blue cap, red star Timeform says: In good form for new trainer last spring, winning at Fontwell and Chepstow. No show on reappearance over C&D in November and has had wind surgery since. (Forecast 21.00) MONDAY CLUB 51 D ch g Strategic Prince Support Fund Connor Brace (5) D J S Ffrench Davis 116 Jockey Colours: Black, pink braces, check cap Timeform says: Off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter in September and thereabouts on each of his 5 subsequent starts, including when runnerup at Fontwell (17.7f) on Boxing Day.

2 DORKING COCK (IRE) 51 b g Winged Love Kiss Jolie Stan Sheppard (3) Tom Lacey 112 Jockey Colours: Mauve and black (quartered), mauve sleeves, white cap Timeform says: Built on the promise he showed in novices/maidens when excellent third on handicap debut at Wetherby (19.7f) on Boxing Day. In excellent hands and highly likely there's more to come. (Forecast 6.00) OSCARS LEADER (IRE) 76 b g Oscar Lead'er Inn p1 Page Fuller Miss J S Davis 112 Jockey Colours: Royal blue and yellow (quartered), striped sleeves and cap Timeform says: December's return to action in novice company at Bangor wasn't devoid of promise. Likely to strip fitter for that back in a handicap (sports cheekpieces) but mark does demand more. (Forecast 34.00) WORKING CLASS 24 D b g Bahri Louise D'arzens Harrison Beswick (6) O Sherwood 111 Jockey Colours: Dark blue, white seams, white and dark blue check sleeves, dark blue cap Timeform says: Fairly useful on the Flat who got off mark over hurdles at Fakenham in December (secondpast post but awarded race after suffering interference).

Ought to be a factor from this sort of mark and now fitted with cheekpieces. (Forecast 13.00) 13 9P8134 LEGEND OF FRANCE 31 D ch m Flying Legend Bonne Anniversaire Sean Houlihan P Phelan 100 Jockey Colours: Maroon, black armlets, black cap Timeform says: Caused a shock when opening her account at Pumpton (15.9f) in December. Matched that form from 10 lb higher mark next time, but disappointed in a refitted hood at Lingfield since. (Forecast 23.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: DORKING COCK shaped well when third on handicap debut in a stronglooking race for the grade at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he is taken to confirm himself to be well treated from the same mark. Working Class is more exposed but is expected to make his presence felt, while Extra Bald could have a bigger performance in him. 1: DORKING COCK (8) 2: WORKING CLASS (10) 3: EXTRA BALD (12) 2019 At The Races.

(Forecast 3.25) 2 U41212 SIR EGBERT 51 D BF b g Kayf Tara Little Miss Flora R Johnson Tom Lacey 128 Jockey Colours: Dark blue, royal blue sleeves Timeform says: Good start over fences, second at Ffos Las before scoring with a bit in hand at Newbury. Failed to land the odds following week but remains with potential as a chaser. (Forecast 4.50) P VALHALLA (IRE) 76 D b g Scorpion Fox Theatre t R M Power C L Tizzard 125 Jockey Colours: Black, yellow triple diamond, diabolo on sleeves and diamond on cap Timeform says: Dual winner over fences last year but disappointed both starts since a respectable comeback.

Below par both starts this term, however, and back over fences now. (Forecast 13.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE won both his starts over fences as a novice last season and remains one to keep onside after his promising comeback over C&D 2 weeks ago. Sir Egbert is another who remains with potential as a chaser and is next best ahead of last year's winner Tara Bridge. 1: NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE (1) 2: SIR EGBERT (2) 3: TARA BRIDGE (5) 2019 At The Races.

Seemed amiss here last time, though.

Open to improvement. (Forecast 3.75) TIMEFORM VIEW: KALASHNIKOV lost little in defeat in the Wayward Lad over Christmas and can get his Arkle bid back on track with a third win in 4 starts over fences. Glen Forsa and Dalila du Seuil both arrive with plenty of potential intact and won't make it easy for Amy Murphy's charge. 1: KALASHNIKOV (3) 2: DALILA DU SEUIL (4) 3: GLEN FORSA (2)

Has more to offer back up in trip. (Forecast 4.33) LIBERTY BELLA 44 b m Librettist Classy Crewella Jack Quinlan B J Eckley 129 Jockey Colours: Black, white diamond, armlets and star on cap Timeform says: Modest in bumpers but a different proposition over hurdles, finding further improvement to follow up her Ludlow win with an alltheway success at Hereford (21.7f) last month.

7 TIMEFORM VIEW: QUEENOHEARTS had a bit in hand when beating Danse Idol at Haydock in December, and with the prospect of more to come, she s taken to uphold that form and defy a penalty.

(Forecast 17.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: CARLOS DU FRUITIER has been running well in defeat this season and has a good opportunity to break his duck over fences on these terms. Late Romantic is the potential improver in the field and is feared most ahead of Rathlin Rose, who's won the last 2 renewals. 1: CARLOS DU FRUITIER (5) 2: LATE ROMANTIC (7) 3: RATHLIN ROSE (1) 2019 At The Races.
