Ambivalent About³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: D W P Arbuthnot

100/1

Showed very little to get enthusiastic about on her debut at Huntingdon and isn't too hard to overlook on this occasion.

Form: P03-

A Montmartre⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: Nick Mitchell

33/1

Has yet to trouble the judge in either of her previous starts in the UK. Difficult to recommend just now.

Form: 095351-

Glevum Acrobatis⁴⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: Hugo Froud

66/1

Faded tamely on debut at Ludlow and already has improvement to find. May do better once she has learned to settle a little better.

Form: 5-

Harvey⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L J Mongan

150/1

Struggling to find her level and has questions to answer regarding her stamina. One to be wary of just for now.

Form: 90/7060-

Moneystown³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L C Jewell

100/1

Finished tailed off on her debut under rules at Fontwell, creating the impression that a step up in trip will be on the cards before too long. Readily opposable over the minimum trip just now.

Form: 2210

Movie Magic^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: M Goldstein| T: M R Hoad

100/1

Another who shapes as if she already needs a trip. The way she has been left floundering in her recent starts only strengthens the case against her.

Form: 7P0P-

Phoeniciana³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham| OR: 115

1/2

Struggled against a couple of hot-pot favourites in her last two outings, but she has at least shown a willing attitude, which will stand her in good stead in this company. One to definitely consider.

Form: 5-353

Pippa The Dancer³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L C Jewell

150/1

Well held by Molly Carew on her debut at Fontwell and no reason to expect that won't be the case again today.

Form: 0

Postbridge¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

3/1

Has ability but she is another with a bit to find with Molly Carew, needs a little luck on her side today.

Form: 2/93121-

The Golden Hour⁶²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: W Featherstone⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison

66/1

Ran as if in need of a blow out last time, but was done for toe at an early stage, so may fare a little better over a longer trip.

Form: 258/846-

Chandos Belle⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Edmunds

5/1

Capable on the Flat in Germany for Christian Von Der Recke and gave a significant hint that she can pay her way in this type of event on her hurdling debut at Doncaster. One to monitor closely in the betting.

Form: -

Hermarna¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: T E Whelan| T: N B King

10/1

Failed to land a blow on her hurdles debut at Ludlow and already needs to prove she can handle the demands of the winter game. One to watch just for the time being.

Form: 7394

Spanish Queen²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Dave Crosse| T: Mark Gillard

100/1

Her uninspiring form figures suggest she has plenty of improvement to find - a step up in distance may be her best hope if given time.

Form: 907P0P

Forecasts

Phoeniciana (1/2), Molly Carew (9/4), Postbridge (3/1), Chandos Belle (5/1), Hermarna (10/1), A Montmartre (33/1), The Golden Hour (66/1), Glevum Acrobatis (66/1), Spanish Queen (100/1), Moneystown (100/1), Movie Magic (100/1), Ambivalent About (100/1), Harvey (150/1), Pippa The Dancer (150/1)

The consistent PHOENICIANA has a lot going for her in this company and is taken to gain some compensation for a few near misses of late. Molly Carew won't make this easy if she strides out in a confident manner, while support for Chandos Belle would not be without solid foundations. Postbridge is another to bear in mind if the market takes a favourable view of her chances of running into one of the places. 1. Phoeniciana 2. Molly Carew 3. Chandos Belle
