25/1

Well beaten on turf at Windsor on two most recent starts including when 15L tenth over 1m there in October. Return to the AW a positive and he is worth a check in the market returning from a break.

French Mix⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Tamby Welch⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 74| C

33/1

Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Kempton recently and finished sixth in a 1m4f amateur riders contest at Kempton prior to that. Probably best watched dropping in distance.

The Throstles^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Alex Edwards| T: K Frost| OR: 74| CD

8/1

Not beaten far when fifth in a handicap over this C&D earlier this month. Useful amateur in the saddle racing off a mark 3lb lower than when winning over this C&D in August last year.

Sir Hamilton^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: George Eddery⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 73

12/1

Good fourth in a heavy ground 1m handicap at Windsor in October but disappointed dropping to 7f at Kempton last month. Market support would be notable on debut for a new yard.

22/1

Sole success came in a 6f novice race at this track in June 2017. Held sixth over 1m4f Kempton when last in action back in September and others make more appeal on debut for this yard.

Luna Magic⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 72| CD

3/1

Well beaten in two 1m2f handicap starts since winning at Musselburgh (1m1f, soft) under this rider in October. Has won here in the past and is one to note off a mark 4lb higher than for that Musselburgh success.

Restive^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| BF| D

7/1

Put a below par effort behind him when finishing 5L second in a 1m4f handicap at Southwell last time out. Interesting to see how he fares with all three previous AW successes coming at that venue.

Form: 637172

Railport Dolly^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Barron| OR: 71

7/2

Put a couple of slightly disappointing efforts behind her when finishing 2½L third in a handicap over an extended 1m here earlier this month. Strong claims dropping markedly in grade.

Zabeel Star^p⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 70| CWS

7/1

Beaten 4½L when finishing seventh in a 1m handicap at Newcastle at the end of September. Had wind surgery since and market support would be notable having won off higher marks in the past.

Form: 063587

Lunar Deity²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Julia Engstrom⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 70

40/1

Well beaten 13th of 14 at Chelmsford in a 1m2f handicap last month when returning from a break. Worth a check in the market having finished third under this rider at Salisbury (1m, good-to-firm) in September.

Form: 376230

Star Ascending^p⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Ryan Holmes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 70| C| D

16/1

Good third over 1m1f at Musselburgh (soft) under this rider in October but was beaten 11L when back up to 1m2f at Nottingham (soft) later that month. Wide draw to overcome if he's to take this event.

Forecasts

Luna Magic (3/1), Railport Dolly (7/2), Restive (7/1), Zabeel Star (7/1), The Throstles (8/1), Little India (10/1), Sir Hamilton (12/1), Ghost Serge (14/1), Star Ascending (16/1), Running Cloud (22/1), Los Camachos (25/1), French Mix (33/1), Lunar Deity (40/1)

RAILPORT DOLLY ran well in a better race at this track last time out and she is taken to register her first all-weather victory at the third time of asking in this competitive amateur riders event. The selection represents a yard with a 50% strike-rate (2/4) of late and she can see off her rivals with Zabeel Star, who has won off higher marks in the past capable of taking second. Third place can go to The Throstles who has won over this C&D in the past.
