Dove Mountain^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 60

28/1

Been campaigned over hurdles and just 2lb lower than when last seen here. Absence also suggests a place at best.

Form: 589-426

(11)

Nonchalant^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: Hugo Froud| OR: 60

11/2

Second to decent type in Ferryview Place here on Boxing Day. Racing off same mark and can go in with a weight pull against that rival.

Form: 644604

(2)

Synodic^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Louis Steward| T: S Durack| OR: 59

5/2

Up 6lbs for an unpredicted win at Chelmsford. No logical reason for that improvement but top apprentice up and could surprise again.

Form: 531113

(3)

Thane Of Cawdor³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Tuite| OR: 59

25/1

Retains some ability but becoming more inconsistent with age.

Form: 81709-8

(12)

Les Gar Gan^b,e/s¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

25/1

Mare who has been off the course for nine months and has no record of going well when fresh.

Form: 3336-00

(13)

Ferryview Place^p,t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49

12/1

Won here on Boxing Day by a neck from Nonchalent but the latter is weighted to turn the tables.

Form: 850023

(10)

Dose¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Natalie Hambling⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55

5/1

Good traner/jockey combination but not won in 11 attempts and no logical reason to think that can be amended today.

Form: 312353

(8)

Mount Cheiron^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: R Ford| OR: 54

22/1

Won here off this mark in August and not disgraced since. Good rider up and has a chance.

Form: 035585

Breakheart^b⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 54

25/1

Ageing and not won for nearly two years. Needs young apprentice to spark some enthusiasm.

Form: 8-69200

(6)

Qibtee⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: J L Eyre| OR: 52

40/1

Poor record on AW likely to be continued.

Form: 532444

(5)

My Mistress^p³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P S McEntee| OR: 46

7/1

Up 6lb for recent C&D victory over previous winner. Good jockey booking confirms outstanding chance.

Form: 427685

(7)

Frivolous Prince^t,v²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 46

6/1

Ran third in Nonchalant's last race but is 6lb worse off and shouldn't reverse the placings.

Form: 438344

Non-Runners

Tee It Up Tommo¹²

Weight: 9-5| Age: 8

T: D Steele J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Synodic (5/2), Dose (5/1), Nonchalant (11/2), Frivolous Prince (6/1), My Mistress (7/1), Ferryview Place (12/1), Tee It Up Tommo (16/1), Mount Cheiron (22/1), Breakheart (25/1), Thane Of Cawdor (25/1), Les Gar Gan (25/1), Dove Mountain (28/1), Qibtee (40/1)

Ferryview Place will be held up but shouldn't reverse the placings with NONCHALANT. The enigmatic Synodic might run into a place. 1. Nonchalant 2. Ferryview Place 3. Synodic
