Christmas Night¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 65| CD

3/1

Front-runner who won well here over C&D two starts back off a 2lb lower mark. Not quite as good at Catterick last time but goes well here and is drawn well to go forward once again.

Form: 362315

Sarstedt^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 65

17/2

Now a maiden after eight starts and starting to look difficult to win with. Drops back another furlong here to 7f which may help. Mark continues to fall but needs to do more. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 405-467

(6)

Lethal Angel¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 63

4/1

Remains a maiden after 11 starts but has been running with plenty of credit. Second behind a big improver last time and likely to run very well once more for yard that won this race last year.

Form: 542252

Jane Rose⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 62

22/1

Only had three starts so far this year and they have all been poor including over 6f here last time. Step up in trip may help but looks to be going in the wrong direction and others preferred.

Form: 486-980

(7)

Javelin^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 62| CD

13/2

Won here over C&D three starts back when wearing blinkers for the first time. Struggled in two starts since off this higher mark but probably hated the ground at Ffos Las last time and could bounce back here.

Form: 944169

Lady Marigold^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 60

20/1

Narrow winner of a soft ground Bath median auction stakes in October, but hasn't achieved a great deal since wind surgery. Mark continues to fall but draw has not been kind here.

Form: 454435

Ganton Par^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59

8/1

Not had may chances but disappointed when well backed here (1m½f) last time. Takes a drop in trip and likely to do better at some point. Blinkers go on first-time but draw not the easiest.

Form: 50-6359

Brockey Rise^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 59| C

11/1

Good third over 6f at Salisbury (good-to-firm) last week. Interesting to see how he fares now stepping back up to 7f and positive jockey booking.

Form: 057523

(5)

Raven's Raft¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: D Loughnane| OR: 53

11/1

Not been having the best of summers but bounced back to form over C&D last time when only beaten 1L into second. Nudged up 4lb for not winning which makes life tougher but will be a leading contender if able to build on that now for new yard.

Form: 035442

(3)

Rockesbury^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 52

12/1

Still a maiden after 13 starts and not having the best of summers. Only had one start so far on the AW (here) and could appreciate the switch to this surface as mark continues to fall to a dangerous level.

Form: 626506

Mystical Moon²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 45

25/1

Showed slightly more on the back of a wind operation and for handicap debut last time. Still beaten 7L but early days and this step up in trip may held now.

Form: 8754

Forecasts

Christmas Night (3/1), Lethal Angel (4/1), Javelin (13/2), Ganton Par (8/1), Sarstedt (17/2), Brockey Rise (11/1), Raven's Raft (11/1), Rockesbury (12/1), Lady Marigold (20/1), Jane Rose (22/1), Mystical Moon (25/1), Woggle (33/1)

LETHAL ANGEL has been running really well without winning and can deservedly get her head in front today after bumping into an improver last time. Mystical Moon likely has some improvement in the locker and a market move would be interesting. Raven's Raft ran a cracker here last time and could be dangerous on first start for her new yard.
