10/1
Four of his nine career wins have been over C&D (latest in March) and was only beaten 1L into third over track and trip just before Christmas. Raised 1lb and may well be in the firing line again.

2/1
Made good late ground to win over this trip at Wolverhampton in early December, now 2-3 over 1m4f with sole setback on heavy ground. 3lb higher now but likely will have more to offer over this distance and rates a leading player.

Won his first two starts for Aidan O'Brien and subsequently sold to this yard after four runs for 90,000 gns. Not spotted since tailed off effort in Chester Cup in May and must prove himself over shorter trip on return.

9/2
Two wins in first four starts over joining this trainer from Owen Burrows; latest over 1m4f at Kempton in November. Given too much to do from rear back there since, likely can leave that effort behind.

4/1
Beaten only 1½L in 1m5f Listed contest here in October despite SP of 66-1. First-time cheekpieces sported then are retained and she is on a workable mark if putting best foot forward.

Three-time turf winner at up to 1m6f, last spotted in maiden hurdle action at Cheltenham in October. Failed to fire on sole previous encounter with an artificial surface at Kempton in 2018.

5/1
Has finished second in his last three starts here and at Wolverhampton over trips from 1m4f-2m½f. Inching up ratings in defeat and 4-55 career record a concern but could pop soon with a win.

Forecasts

Getchagetchagetcha (2/1), Lady Bergamot (4/1), Kitaabaat (9/2), Battle Of Marathon (5/1), Cliffs Of Dooneen (8/1), Petite Jack (10/1), Ship Of The Fen (16/1)

Verdict

He remains unexposed over this trip and having scored last time at Wolverhampton the verdict is to stick with GETCHAGETCHAGETCHA despite a 3lb ratings-hike. Lady Bergamot ran well in Listed company here in October and has possibilities if showing up in top form while Petite Jack thrives over this C&D and should go well. Kitaabaat was given a lot to do at Kempton last time and remains capable of having a say.
