My Target²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 80| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 16/1, probably needed the run after 7 months off when tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 28 days ago. Won second-time-out last winter but others make more appeal.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Gray| T: J Candlish| OR: 77

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 50/1, shaped well when third of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago, every chance over 1f out but not running on. Has the ability from this amrk.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76

Espresso Freddo^v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: R Stephens| OR: 75| C

18/1

Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in October. 4/1, proved to be a disappointment when fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Rectory Road³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 75

8/1

Latest win at Doncaster in August. 8/1, ran respectably up against younger rivals when fifth of 13 in handicap there (10.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| BF

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 71| CD

18/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Wasn't seen to best effect and probably remained in form when fifth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, heavy) 33 days ago. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Global Art (11/4), Sha La La La Lee (4/1), Light Up Our Stars (7/1), Polyphony (8/1), Xcelente (10/1), Daheer (12/1), Mutaabeq (12/1), Daafr (14/1), Espresso Freddo (18/1), Carp Kid (18/1), My Target (20/1), Rectory Road (33/1), Scorched Earth (80/1)

Ed Dunlop's GLOBAL ART is seemingly in the form of his life and gets the nod to get back to winning ways having gone down by the narrowest of margins at Chelmsford last time. Andrea Atzeni gets on board for the first time, also. Light Up Our Stars, Carp Kid and Espresso Freddo are a trio of others to consider.
