Swiss Pride^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| D

11/8

Both wins have come on the AW and had been going close in his recent starts before 8L seventh over C&D last time out. This is a step down though and usually runs well in claiming company here.

Mujassam^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 71| D

6/1

Last win came in this company back in August. Good second at Maisons-Laffitte in September before soft ground and trip found him out at Nottingham (1m) last time. Contender now back at this level.

Pour La Victoire^p⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| D

11/2

Brighton specialist, winning there two starts ago before second there when last seen in September. Largely disappointing away from that track but respected if running to his usual mark.

Steelriver⁷⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Herrington| OR: 75| CD

5/1

C&D winner in the past and generally running well this season. Fared better than the result suggested when 2L fifth in Wolverhampton claimer behind Mujassam but will need a bit more off level weights.

Form: 354205

Flowing Clarets⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 46| D

66/1

Winless so far this season but defied low mark to finish second in 6f Windsor claimer on latest start. That looked a weak race though so still has plenty to prove.

Form: 458772

Pettochside⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J J Bridger| OR: 68| BF| CD

9/2

Veteran who got 13th career win at Goodwood in September but slightly disappointing since, including 5L defeat in Windsor claimer (6f) last time. Claims on best form but bounce back required.

Form: 413043

Swendab^b,h⁴⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Kate Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 40| CD

200/1

Veteran whose age has seemingly caught up with him with tailed off efforts in four of his last five starts. Tall order in front of him.

Form: 007600

Forecasts

Swiss Pride (11/8), Pettochside (9/2), Steelriver (5/1), Pour La Victoire (11/2), Mujassam (6/1), Flowing Clarets (66/1), Swendab (200/1)

MUJASSAM was a gutsy winner when venturing in this company last time and despite disappointing at Nottingham on his most recent start, he has generally held his form well and could have an edge on his rivals in the weights. Steelriver was in behind him at Wolverhampton that day and hasn't been since and may struggle to beat him off level weights, while Swiss Pride usually fares better in this company and represents a duo who have had a stellar season so far.
