Merryweather²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| CD

6/4

Sprung a surprise on stable debut by winning a 1m novice at Lingfield last month, and proved that was no fluke when laning a C&D handicap recently by a neck from Itwouldberudenotto. Will keep progressing, and much respected.

Form: 381-1

Mrs Upjohn^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 80| D

5/4

Runner-up on first two starts, and improved to land a 1m novice at Lingfield last time from True Scarlett. Should have more to offer, and just about the pick in this well-matched field.

Form: 22-1

Breguet Boy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 75| D

7/2

Won a turf nursery in September, and showed better form when landing a handicap over Wolverhampton's extended 1m earlier this month. More exposed than his rivals, but may still have more to offer.

Form: 41744-1

Forecasts

Mrs Upjohn (5/4), Merryweather (6/4), Breguet Boy (7/2)

Just a trio of runners, but there isn't much to choose between them. The narrowest of votes in the end goes to MRS UPJOHN after her Lingfield win, but she must keep progressing to see off the twin challenges of Merryweather and Breguet Boy.
