Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Haslam| OR: 51| BF

4/1

Went close to landing a gamble making on all-weather/yard debut at Newcastle in September. Ran no sort of race at same course last time but could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 908-029

Rocket Naan¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 51

Trevie Fountain^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 49

11/2

Turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up at Newcastle on penultimate start. Not quite in same form at Southwell last time but his mark is clearly a workable one.

8/1

Ran respectably after 9 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 10 days ago, despite not being seen to best effect (rider reporting saddle slipped). Not ruled out.

Form: 73-6426

Miracle Garden^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 45| C

33/1

Modest handicapper nowadays who was again well held after 4 months off (had wind op) over C&D 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 760700

(2)

Gms Princess^p³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

16/1

Looked rusty after 8 weeks off when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 38 days ago, never nearer. Entitled to be sharper now, but isn't one to go overboard about.

Form: 8-87996

Forecasts

One One Seven (10/3), Starbo (4/1), Trevie Fountain (11/2), Rocket Naan (7/1), Boy George (8/1), Burning Sun (9/1), Daddies Diva (14/1), Gms Princess (16/1), My Sister Jo (18/1), Bevsboy (22/1), Miracle Garden (33/1), The Saddle Rock (66/1)

STARBO ran no sort of race last time, but he went close to landing a gamble on his penultimate run, so is worth another chance fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Trevie Fountain's current mark is clearly a workable one, so he's a potential danger, as are Burning Sun and Boy George.
