Happy Escape¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| D

5/4

Back to winning ways for new yard with wins over a mile and this trip on his last two starts. Posted a career best latest. Needs a strong pace though over this distance and best AW form has come at Kempton.

Form: 4435-11

Treasure Me^p⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Proving much better suited by the AW and boasts a C&D win. Up in class but her latest third at Kempton in October was in a good race and she didn't get a straightforward run. Clearly improving and suited by return to here.

Form: 351103-

Made Of Honour^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| C| D

10/3

Now 4-6 on the AW following a career best over this trip at Newcastle on second start since wind surgery, backed up by a good time. Up in grade but has won at this level previously and only up 2lb.

Form: 11576-1

Side Effect^p⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 69

5/1

Had proved fairly consistent without winning before showing nice improvement over a mile at Southwell in winning the last twice. Stable in form but this is much tougher and she needs to prove she's as effective here.

Form: 35251-1

Forecasts

Happy Escape (5/4), Treasure Me (3/1), Made Of Honour (10/3), Side Effect (5/1)

Side Effect could get the run of the race in such a small field but she looks a horse who is ideally suited by the fibresand. Happy Escape is respected in a tight race but may need a faster pace than she's likely to get here. Treasure Me looks sure to go close being on an upward curve but preference is for MADE OF HONOUR who remains on an attractive mark and has plenty of upside on a synthetic surface.
