My Boy Sepoy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Fran Berry| T: S C Williams| OR: 62

3/1

No improvement on handicap debut and will need to improve albeit in weaker race. Check for market support.

Form: 3-769

Johni Boxit^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 60

33/1

Regressive form in last two starts including on reappearance and needs to find improvement.

Form: 3240-0

Choral Music¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 60| D

7/1

Found significant improvement with two wins in a row following a break on the AW and then on soft ground. Different conditions to handle here but progressive and 4lb rise unlikely to hinder her.

Form: 800-11

(2)

Christmas Night⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 60

7/4

Steady improvement resulted in eye-catching win last start. Got loose beforehand and then overcame poor draw showing early speed and hitting the line strongly. Unpenalised and extra distance will also help.

Form: 968-231

Silvington¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60

20/1

Rejoins former stable following two poor runs. Hard to fancy on seasonal reappearance.

Form: 33509-

(13)

Pact Of Steel⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 60

8/1

Unraced on turf since debut but has shown improvement on AW when placed last twice. Drop in trip a positive on evidence of last run and should be competitive in race lacking depth.

Form: 8-96633

(5)

Medici Oro¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D H Brown| OR: 59

20/1

Still a maiden after ten starts and needs to step up on recent form. Ground a question mark as has missed a race in the past due to quick conditions.

Form: 9324-45

(3)

Racehorse⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 59| BF

12/1

Well backed on turf and handicap debut when suffering a slow start and wide position. Looks another realistic opportunity and open to more improvement than most.

Form: 45-95

(8)

Nautica^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Portman| OR: 57

14/1

Stablemate of Choral Music who struggled on handicap debut. Testing conditions against her there and may far better on quicker ground. Place hope.

Form: 5-458

(11)

Twickenham¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 55

25/1

Well beaten in all four starts including in a claimer on stable debut. Best watched at present.

Dracarys^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oscar Pereira| T: J Santos| OR: 54

20/1

Shown little in four runs to date and needs to find significant improvement for step up in distance.

Form: 700-0

(10)

Kylie Style^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

20/1

Still a maiden but found a bit of improvement when just worn down late on in similar conditions back on the turf. Races on the speed and place possibilities in a race lacking any real depth.

Form: 509-764

Forecasts

Christmas Night (7/4), My Boy Sepoy (3/1), Choral Music (7/1), Pact Of Steel (8/1), Racehorse (12/1), Nautica (14/1), Parable (16/1), Medici Oro (20/1), Dracarys (20/1), Kylie Style (20/1), Silvington (20/1), Bond Angel (20/1), Twickenham (25/1), Shamrock Emma (25/1), Johni Boxit (33/1), Caviar Royale (50/1)

A race featuring a number of runners who are hard to make a case for brings in Racehorse, Kylie Style and Pact Of Steel as place hopes. However they have a bit to find with the hat-trick seeking Choral Music and in particular CHRISTMAS NIGHT whose last win can be upgraded and gets to race off the same mark.
