Dawn Treader^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 60| D

11/2

Claimed for £6000 after landing 1m2f Windsor claimer in October when trained by Richard Hannon. Fair second in 1m4f seller at Lingfield penultimate start but looked reluctant when well beaten in similar event at Wolverhampton latest.

Form: 231-025

Amaretto^v¹⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 58| CD

5/4

C&D winner in first-time visor in March last year and finsihed second three times during summer campaign on turf. Not seen for nearly six months so fitness has to be taken on trust. Chance if fully wound up.

Highway One³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 56

5/2

22-race maiden who has trheatened to score on plenty of occasions. Stayed on well last time when second over C&D and may well be in the shake-up again if putting her best foot forward off 1lb higher mark.

6/1

Ran on well to land 12/1 victory at Wolverhampton over extended 1m1f penultimate start but found little for pressure when favourite and well beaten at Chelmsford last time. Not the most consistent but revival not out of the question.

Janus¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: D C Costello| T: M F Harris| OR: 50

14/1

Two wins at up to 7f in Belgium as a juvenile but has been lightly raced since and shown very little in three starts for current handler in Britain. Easing down the weights but more needed to figure.

Form: 1040/97

25/1

Yet to reach a place in eight attempts under both codes and has been beaten a long wat both on Flat and over jumps in recent months. Impossible to recommend.

Forecasts

Amaretto (5/4), Highway One (5/2), Dawn Treader (11/2), Huddle (11/2), Odds On Oli (6/1), Ballet Red (13/2), Fivehundredmiles (8/1), Janus (14/1), Uae Soldier (25/1)

Most of these are hard to enthuse over but if he is fit after a six-month break previous C&D winner AMARETTO may score by default. He is capable at this level and was in fair form last summer. Highway One has been threatening to win a race forever and stayed on nicely when second here last time. She could prove a threat to the selection, while the inconsistent Odds On Oli knows how to win but it depends if he's in the moods to apply himself.
