December Second¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Nick Barratt-Atkin⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby

5/2

Pair of Bumper wins and has made bright start to his career on the Flat with placed efforts at Goodwood and Doncaster. The drop down from 1m4f from last run is a concern however, and jockey has had just the two career rides.

Form: 22

Newspeak^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: F Watson| OR: 36

100/1

Runner up at Thirsk at this trip a year ago but has gone backwards since then and a mark of just 36 emphasises his stiff task against these principals.

Blistering Barney^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Elliott| T: C N Kellett

25/1

£18,000 yearling. Second foal of unraced dam. First foal has shown no ability in two runs in Ireland. Needs to be above average to take this on belated debut.

New Arrangement⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

1/4

Very green on debut at Ripon last month when 6L second to the 88 rated Maamora. Got the hang of things late on and likely to prove a different proposition with that experience behind him.

Form: 2

Show The World^e/s1⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 48

80/1

Beat just two rivals in three runs for Charlie Fellowes and debut for this over 5f was no better. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 94-99

Forecasts

New Arrangement (1/4), December Second (5/2), Zephyrina (4/1), Blistering Barney (25/1), Show The World (80/1), Newspeak (100/1)

Only two can be seriously fancied and at this trip NEW ARRANGEMENT may have too much speed for the dual Bumper winner December Second. Blistering Barney won't have to be anything special to win the separate battle for third.
