Cranberry⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 82| BF

9/2

Has shown on good level of form in three starts so far, making all at Lingfield (7f) two starts ago before finishing third when conceding weight at Kempton (1m) last time. Makes her handicap debut with top-weight once more and may just fall short.

Form: 213-

Locked N' Loaded¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: T J FitzGerald| OR: 80| CD

11/10

Shown improved form since joining this yard, winning twice and finishing second in as many runs. Ran on strongly over C&D and despite another 5lb rise, is evidently thriving for new connections. The one to beat.

Form: 747121-

What An Angel⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

7/1

Handicap mark was skewed by a close second at Ascot (7f) in September, form he hasn't matched before or since. Disappointing on his last three runs and is dropping down the weights and in grade but has more bad runs than good so far.

Phuket Power³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76

6/1

Showed promise on his first three starts and, after excuses two runs ago, he came good at Kempton (7f) last month, making just about all to win by a head. Up 1½f in trip so fractions will need to be spot on to repeat the dose.

Form: 44301-

Breguet Boy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 71| BF

13/2

Made a winning handicap debut at Redcar (1m) in September but still 4lb above that despite three defeats since. Sent-off favourite at Newcastle last time and shaped as though this extra half furlong would help in finishing a staying on fourth.

Forecasts

Locked N' Loaded (11/10), Cranberry (9/2), Phuket Power (6/1), Breguet Boy (13/2), What An Angel (7/1)

A interesting little heat for three-year-olds in which LOCKED N' LOADED is the selection to make it three from four for the Tim Fitzgerald team. He has improved since joining this operation and has the best form in the line-up. Phuket Power built on his early promise to win last month and steps up in trip to follow-up whilst Breguet Boy should definitely appreciate this extra yardage based on his latest effort at Newcastle.
