Zafaranah²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 70| C

9/2

This trip looks to be ideal and she has been shaping like her turn is not far away. Draw has not been kind here so although she normally likes to go forward, Rob Hornby may need to be patient here.

Hellovaqueen²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 70| D

20/1

Won on her debut for her current yard - coming back from a long absence in the process - and created the impression the best is yet to come. However, the filly has been below par in three starts since and now has a bit to prove.

Form: 47-1680

Freebe Rocks⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69| BF| D

6/1

Went close off lower turf marks the last twice but is a better performer on the AW. Starts life for a new yard today having been given a short break and a good run is highly likely.

Lucky Lodge^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 67| CD

11/1

C&D winner that has bounced back to form of late with wins at Redcar (soft) and Newcastle (AW) both over 6f. This trip no problem but 5lb rise makes life tougher.

Form: 528131

Sayesse¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: L Williamson| OR: 67| D

8/1

Hold-up performer who bounced back to form when all out to win at Chelmsford two weeks ago. Only nudged up 2lb for that win but not guaranteed to back that effort up with everything needing to drop right.

Form: 004561

Dark Magic²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 67| D

6/1

Maiden winner who has been really struggling for form of late. Only three starts this year and is yet to beat a single rival home. Mark is tumbling but impossible to fancy at present.

Form: 002-090

Bobby Joe Leg²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67| C

28/1

Has been struggling for form so far this year and although he has dropped below his last winning mark, much more is needed on recent evidence going back up in trip.

Global Humor^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 67| CD

7/1

Won his maiden over this C&D last summer but has struggled since going handicapping. Last of 10 at Kempton three weeks ago and really needs to step up with mark falling. and first-time blinkers applied.

Form: 456980

Time Stands Still²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: W J Martin| OR: 66| D

17/2

Won back-to-back races at Ffos Las and Galway in September but has been largely out of sorts on two starts since. Only 3lb higher than for that last win so not ruled out by any means.

Form: 091167

Sultan Baybars^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64| D

10/1

Has looked on a downward spiral for some time and mark has now dropped to another career low. Well held over C&D last week and needs plenty more to be winning this.

Form: 390067

The King's Steed^b,t⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: S Lycett| OR: 63| CD

14/1

Good winner over C&D off 5lb lower two starts back. Got going too late dropped to 6f last time and will be much better suited by this test. Good draw and leading player.

Forecasts

Zafaranah (9/2), Dark Magic (6/1), Freebe Rocks (6/1), Global Humor (7/1), Sayesse (8/1), Time Stands Still (17/2), Sultan Baybars (10/1), Lucky Lodge (11/1), Gibeno (12/1), The King's Steed (14/1), Hellovaqueen (20/1), Bobby Joe Leg (28/1)

It will be interesting to see if the first-time blinkers can spark Global Humor back into form as he is thrown in on his maiden form. If she gets a clean run round then Zafaranah will be dangerous back down in trip although the wide draw tempers enthusiasm somewhat. THE KING'S STEED got going too late down to 6f here last time and can get back to winning ways no back up to 7f.
