Off time: 12:46 | Winning time: 4m 56.8s

Chain Of Beacons^t²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: K Scott| OR: 100

16/1

Not won in over two years but has placed a couple of times since, including flattering 14L second at Kelso (2m1f) last time out. Place claims on this ground but top weight is a concern.

Form: 34327-2

No Such Number^p,t³³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 97

20/1

Losing streak dates back to summer of 2017 and very rarely threatened to end that since. Latest 50L eighth at Sedgefield (2m5f) leaves a lot to be desired on form.

Form: 5P6P7-8

Dallas Cowboy³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 96

9/1

Last seven runs have come at Market Rasen but usually flatters to deceive. Did the same when fourth there (2m3f) last time out and while on a good mark, his win record is a negative.

Form: 231-444

Along Came Theo^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 95

33/1

18-race maiden who usually places but has looked off the boil in last two starts, pulling up at Carlisle before inauspicious return at that track (2m4f) earlier this month. Best watched on current form.

Form: 2832P-6

Jeu De Mots^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 95

10/1

Winner at Cartmel during the summer but floundered since. returned with 34L seventh at Musselburgh (2m) earlier this month and while back on winning mark, others make more appeal.

Form: 861337

Reverse The Charge^p⁴⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 90

50/1

Hexham winner in May but well-beaten at that venue the last twice, including 33L defeat over 2m4f there in early October. Down 3lb but veteran has a bit to prove now.

Form: 175-145

Honourmission^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 90

8/1

Showed very little on the track to date for both yards he has represented and didn't improve when pulling up at Uttoxeter (2m4f) at the start of the month. Risky proposition.

Form: 90-UP5P

Burning Issues¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 84| D

12/1

4lb below last winning mark but age looks to have caught up with him on current form. Returned from break when tenth of twelve at Sedgefield and opposable on that form.

Form: 45P550

Paddling¹⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 84| CD

6/1

Poor record over fences. Wasn't beaten far into third at Cartmel in may before distant fourth back at that track (2m5f) a month later. Makes seasonal reappearance but holds place claims in this company.

Form: 7345-34

Stormbay Bomber^p,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 82

9/1

Hasn't won in a long time but running with encouragement this season, including when only beaten 6L at Musselburgh (2m) last time out. Well beaten on all starts at this distance though, which is a concern.

Form: 4235-34

Moores Novelty³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 75| BF

11/4

Fell when sent off odds-on for stable debut last month but followed that up with poor display at Uttoxeter (3m) on latest start. Mark has fallen again and if any yard can rejuvenate a horse it's this one.

Form: P12-4FP

Enforcement^t,v1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 81WS

4/1

Made his chase debut when well-beaten fourth at Plumpton but followed that up with encouraging second over extended 2m3f at that track in October. Has had wind surgery since and looks dangerous on handicap bow.

Form: 68P442

Forecasts

Moores Novelty (11/4), Enforcement (4/1), Paddling (6/1), Honourmission (8/1), Dallas Cowboy (9/1), Stormbay Bomber (9/1), Jeu De Mots (10/1), Burning Issues (12/1), Chain Of Beacons (16/1), No Such Number (20/1), Along Came Theo (33/1), Reverse The Charge (50/1)

ENFORCEMENT put up a fine second chasing start at Plumpton in October when not beaten far and sneaks in at the bottom of the weights for this. His light weight suggests his mark is lenient for this level and there is every chance the wind operation could irk out more improvement in him. Paddling has proven to be a frustrating sort but can run moderately and is an unknown prospect on his seasonal debut, while this race could be a chance for Moores Novelty to put things in the right direction for an expert trainer in what looks a poor race.
