Pettifogger¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 91| D

16/1

Triple winner in Italy over 7f-1m, but has been well held in three British starts, and hard to back with confidence despite falling mark.

Form: 132687

Sir Hamilton⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: L McJannet| OR: 88| CD

12/1

Clearly better on AW than turf, and bounced back from a poor run when a good third to Ledham over C&D in September. Bombed out in headgear last time, though, and has since moved from the yard of Denis Quinn.

Form: 742738

Tangled²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

9/2

Back to form when third at Newmarket in September, and made late headway when sixth in a C&D listed race last time. Claims on that effort, but possible he's flattered by it.

Form: 960306

Pinnata^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| D

5/2

Better than ever when winning a 1m handicap at Chelmsford last month. Ran well on both starts here, and looks likely to give another solid account.

Form: 2-34021

Samphire Coast^h,v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 80| D

13/2

Holding form since winning at Chelmsford in October, and ran well when 2½L fourth of 14 to Pinnata there last time. Unlikely to be too far away once again.

Form: 516934

(4)

Roman Spinner^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 80| CD

3/1

Goes well here, and improved for step up to 1m when landing a C&D handicap on latest start from Al Reeh. Remains on a very fair mark, and has leading claims in repeat bid.

Form: 493821

Scofflaw⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: P D Evans| OR: 78

25/1

Won a messy AW claimer on final start for Richard Fahey, but no great impact in C&D handicap starting out for new yard last time. Looks a shade too high in the weights.

Form: 007017

(3)

Uther Pendragon^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Aaron Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 79| D

10/1

Well placed to win at Amiens last month, but balance of his form leaves him with a bit to find with the principals here, and he's passed over.

Form: 230014

Forecasts

Pinnata (5/2), Roman Spinner (3/1), Tangled (9/2), Samphire Coast (13/2), Uther Pendragon (10/1), Sir Hamilton (12/1), Pettifogger (16/1), Scofflaw (25/1)

ROMAN SPINNER has an excellent record here, and looked even better on her first try at 1m when scoring over C&D last time. She can go in again, with Pinnata and Samphire Coast - first and fourth in a competitive affair at Chelmsford last time - taken to chase her home.
