3/1

Hasn't added to 6f Yarmouth maiden success on second start in spring of last year. Went close over 6f here last time however and chances are there to see dropped in trip and into Class 6 company.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 63| CD

4/1

16/1

Landed a couple of wins on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton over this trip earlier this year, recent form less convincing and requires a turnaround in new headgear.

20/1

First-time blinkers applied having careered down handicap over last 18 months and now 26lb lower than when second for Kevin Ryan in March 2018. Wasn't beaten too far when last seen at Windsor in August but has plenty of questions to answer.

Gupta¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D H Brown| OR: 60

25/1

Some promise exhibited in novice starst but yet to fire in handicaps at Newcastle (5f) and Southwell (6f). Eased another 2lb and should be able to improve before long.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 57| D

25/1

Some solid form this year but was well held over C&D in September and ran poor race on turf next time at Brighton. Record at this venue isn't inspiring.

Form: 543589

Bond Street Beau¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: P J McBride| OR: 56

11/1

Kempton winner over 6f in February, recent form nowhere near as strong and beat only one rival home over 6f here 13 days ago. Needs to raise his game.

Forecasts

Nampara (2/1), Lalania (3/1), Red Stripes (4/1), Tan (6/1), Princess Keira (7/1), Bond Street Beau (11/1), Superseded (16/1), Nautical Haven (20/1), Roundabout Magic (25/1), Gupta (25/1), Time To Reason (33/1), Fareeq (33/1)

Assuming she is none the worse for her close second over C&D a fortnight after a layoff, this looks a good chance for NAMPARA to go one place better from a 2lb higher mark as she drops in grade. Lalania holds similar claims on her close third here early in the month while Fareeq knows how to win on the AW and might benefit from a wind operations since a below-par effort here in September.
