Beau Geste¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

Chiavari²⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 60

80/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2017. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f), finding little. Off 9 months. Others more persuasive.

Form: 065-545

(2)

Highest Mountain^b1⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

12/1

50/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 61 days ago, badly hampered. Hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a return to the form he showed in France last year.

Form: 10-0600

(8)

Born To Reason²⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 59| CD

50/1

Four-time course winner. Last of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D. Off 9 months and probably worth taking on.

The King's Steed^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lycett| OR: 59| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in October. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 33 days ago. Will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 804150

Carey Street⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 59

9/2

Amor Fati⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: P D Evans| OR: 59| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 14/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 4 days ago, never nearer. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 261847

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Tate| T: M D I Usher| OR: 58

50/1

40/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 23 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 58| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win here in October. 13/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. No surprise were he to bounce back with a bold show.

Form: 114019

(6)

Lake Sand¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A Stronge| OR: 60

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Others look more solid.

Form: 38770

(5)

Silver Cliffs⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

9/2

Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 14 to The King's Steed in handicap at Salisbury (7f, soft, 15/2) 51 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away.

Form: 465443

(10)

Deleyll¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 57| CD

50/1

Course winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 100870

Forecasts

Beau Geste (7/4), Carey Street (9/2), Silver Cliffs (9/2), Amor Fati (11/2), Recuerdame (8/1), Highest Mountain (12/1), Lake Sand (14/1), The King's Steed (33/1), Deleyll (50/1), The Stalking Moon (50/1), Born To Reason (50/1), Chiavari (80/1), Secondo (150/1)

A chance is taken on CAREY STREET, who wasn't seen to best effect last time and he shaped as though his turn may be near when third off a 2 lb higher mark over C&D on penultimate start. The consistent Beau Geste will be a threat if he gets a strong pace to aim at, while Recuerdame is another to consider, along with The King's Steed and Amor Fati.
