Sharp Operator^h⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 57| C| D

10/3

Course winner returned to winning ways with a short-head success in a handicap over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last week. Penalised for that success and strong claims of following up in this contest.

Form: 74-3261

Red Gunner¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 55

9/1

Decent effort when finishing 4L fifth in a 1m handicap at Kempton last time out. Drawn wide here and over two years since he recorded his only previous victory.

Form: 536-305

(4)

The Special One^h⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

5/1

Three time winner on turf but yet to score in 12 AW starts. Beaten 3¼L when fifth over 7f here last time out and is a notable runner in this event having run well over this distance in the past.

Form: 490-465

(9)

Mochalov²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Danny Brock| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 54

6/1

Good second in a 1m maiden at Kempton in December. Weakened late on over this distance at Lingfield last time out and looks capable of running well on this occasion.

Form: 0/342-76

(8)

Gold Club^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: L P Keniry| T: L Carter| OR: 54

20/1

Decent effort when fourth over 6f at Lingfield on his penultimate outing. Not beaten far when eighth upped to 7f there subsequently but stamina to prove over this distance.

Form: 93704-8

(3)

Misu Pete^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| C| D

4/1

Course winner was returning from a break when finishing eighth under this rider in a 7f handicap here last time out. Likely to have improved for the run and worth a check in the market.

Form: 73398-8

(7)

Herringswell^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 53

20/1

Beaten just ¾L when finishing third over 7f at Newcastle in early November. Not replicated that form in three subsequent starts and cheekpieces tried for the first time stepping up in distance.

Form: 0335-70

(12)

Sir Jamie^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| D

14/1

Ran well when beaten 2L over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm back in August. Struggled in two starts since returning from a break and has a wide draw to overcome on this occasion.

Form: 3224-97

(5)

Dukes Meadow¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 45| CD

12/1

Dual winner over C&D most recently just under 12 months ago. Races off a 5lb lower mark here and market support would be notable having finished sixth over this C&D when returning from a break last time out.

Form: 05884-6

(2)

Gone With The Wind^p³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 45| D

9/1

Finished 5½L fourth in a 15 runner C&D handicap last month on his return from a break. Struggled in a Classified event subsequently and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 0090-46

(1)

Lesanti²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

25/1

Decent third over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in March last year. Disappointed subsequently and worth a check in the market on his first start since finishing 23L last over 7f here in May.

Form: 838970-

Admiral Anson^v1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

66/1

Well held in three maiden/novice contests last year and it was a similar story in first time cheekpieces (replaced with a visor here) in a C&D race on handicap debut last month.

Form: 584-0

(6)

Eagre^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

40/1

Six race maiden was beaten 18L in a 7f fibresand handicap at Southwell last month on his return from a break. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 09070-0

Forecasts

Sharp Operator (10/3), Misu Pete (4/1), The Special One (5/1), Mochalov (6/1), Gone With The Wind (9/1), Red Gunner (9/1), Dukes Meadow (12/1), Sir Jamie (14/1), Herringswell (20/1), Gold Club (20/1), Lesanti (25/1), Eagre (40/1), Admiral Anson (66/1)

Recent winner SHARP OPERATOR looks capable of defying a penalty to take this competitive looking 7f handicap. The selection proved he is in good order when winning last time he can see of his rivals here with The Special One who is seeking a first victory on this surface. Third place can go the way of Mochalov who ran better than the bare result suggests at Lingfield last time.
