Fanfaronade⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 67

9/4

Daughter of Exchange Rate; closely related to the 7f juvenile winner Lady Correspondent; clearly still learning her job - races keenly; interesting to see how she copes with the demands of this straight 7f on handicap debut.

Form: 868-

Cadeau d'Amour^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

3/1

On the premises on handicap debut (first start as a gelding) at Wolverhampton (7f+); 1lb higher tonight in newly-applied cheekpieces; chance.

Form: 067-3

(3)

Spirit Kingdom⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64| D

8/1

Has found life tough since making all to win a 7f Kempton novice in June, although to her immense credit has run consistently; no match at all for one of the easiest winners in recent times (Alkaamel) over 1m here last week.

Form: 3049-33

Duhallow Noelie⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 61

10/1

Weakened late in the race on both starts on the AW at Dundalk (1m). However, has been given a short break and is dropping quickly in the weights; talented 7lb claimer booked.

Form: 70800-

Joey Boy⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: K A Ryan| OR: 61

7/1

Cost €30,000 as a juvenile; has shown modest form in three starts in novice races (5½f-6f) and was slowly away (never threatened) on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 87-days ago; dropped 3lb since.

Form: 6877-

Uh Oh Chongo¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61

12/1

Slowly away and well beaten (tenth of 14) on handicap debut at Southwell 19-days ago; considerably more required back on Tapeta.

Form: 575-0

Klipperty Klopp⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 59

10/1

Just 2lb higher than when finishing a neck second to Burning Lake over C&D in October; given a 63-day break since a tame effort latest; of minor each-way interest in a modest race.

Form: 875729-

Kodi Dream¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56

8/1

0-6 in Ireland for Adrian Keatley and never competitive on AW/stable bow at Wolverhampton 18-days ago; possible that he'll find his feet with more time and experience.

Form: 8U756-8

John Gosden has a strong record on the AW at Newcastle (28/80; 35%) so in theory Farfaronade should enter the reckoning on handicap debut from an opening perch of 67. However, as she's raced with plenty of enthusiasm in her races so far (and weakened) one must have some reservations about her stamina reserves over a stiff and straight 7f trip. Then again, viable alternatives aren't in ample supply either with the likes of Klipperty Klopp and Spirit Kingdom more obvious place players. Therefore, with no great conviction we'll chance the cheek-pieced Richard Fahey-trained CADEAU D'AMOUR.
