Brushwork³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: C Hills| CD

1/25

150,000 guineas Kyllachy gelding who won in good style on debut over C&D in September and looks to have outstanding prospects of following up despite having to concede his penalty.

Form: 1

Hunters Step⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 45

66/1

Very modest four-race gelding well beaten off mark of just 48 on handicap bow at Musselburgh in August. Looks outclassed in this company.

Form: 7059

Wings Of Dubai⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

20/1

Dark Angel filly who finished last of four on debut over a mile at Ffos Las prior to 5th of 9 over 6f at Yarmouth in September. Should be up to winning a race or two but has a tough task to turn over the expected clear favourite.

Form: 45

Forecasts

Brushwork (1/25), Wings Of Dubai (20/1), Hunters Step (66/1)

It wil be a big shock if BRUSHWORK doesn't win this with something to spare having looked a nice prospect when scoring over course and distance on debut in late-September. He has to concede a 7lb penalty but is hard to oppose. Wings Of Dubai looks ready-made for the forecast spot.
