Unforgiving Minute¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: S Curran| OR: 80| CD

6/1

Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Offered little after 7 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Should make more impact here.

Form: 1-31130

7/4

Fairly useful filly. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in September. Probably remained in form when fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (8f, heavy) 8 days ago, plugging on.

Form: 257174

Reckless Endeavour³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 79| D

8/1

Arrives out of sorts, 33/1, again finished well held when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 3 days ago. However merits consideration dropped into claiming company.

40/1

Boy In The Bar^v²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| CD

4/1

3-time C&D winner. 12/1, made no impression when seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 29 days ago. Should make his presence felt dropped into claiming company for the first time.

Form: 4-88807

(7)

Azzeccagarbugli^v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 67| D

5/1

Not seen to best effect when ninth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at this course (8f) 5 days ago, not knocked about. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 4227-69

Master Rocco¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Donohoe| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 54| BF

28/1

4/1, shaped as if back in form despite not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago, not clear run entering final 1f. Others preferred.

Form: 672799

Forecasts

Dancing Rave (7/4), Boy In The Bar (4/1), Azzeccagarbugli (5/1), Unforgiving Minute (6/1), Reckless Endeavour (8/1), Atletico (8/1), Fashionesque (14/1), Revolutionary Man (14/1), Master Rocco (28/1), Shymay (40/1), Temujin (40/1)

Most of these arrive out of form. However, slight preference is for BOY IN THE BAR, who clearly isn't the force of old but should be able to make his presence felt dropped into claiming company for the first time. Atletico heads up the dangers if taking his chance just 24 hours after running at Kempton, ahead of Reckless Endeavour and Azzeccagarbugli.
