Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: P A Kirby| OR: 54

9/2

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 18 days ago. Mark unchanged and certainly not without each-way hope.

Uncle Bernie^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 53| CD

20/1

Unreliable sort. 5-time course winner. Latest win here in October. Good third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 18/1) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Claims if in a similar mood here.

Form: 807813

Epaneema^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K Frost| OR: 52

18/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 12 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 33/1) 24 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb for that and needs to find a bit of improvement if she's to open her account.

9/1

Course winner. 16/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 17 days ago. Now 1 lb below last winning mark and she has to enter calculations.

Celtic Classic^b²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 50

5/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 7/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. On a good mark and he's a must for the shortlist.

Alchimista³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 8/1) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 7-5936

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 49

10/1

Won 13-runner minor event (6/1) at Kempton (12f) when last seen in February, battling well. More needed back in handicap company on this tapeta debut.

Form: 6760-41

10/1

10/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and each-way shout if the new headgear helps eke out a little more.

Form: 7-06023

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 46

18/1

Last of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 5 days ago. Readily passed over.

Murat Asset^h⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 47

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 10/1) 66 days ago. Improvement needed, but hails form a shrewd yard and one to note in the betting.

Form: 80848

Truly Together¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J Quinn| T: M Botti| OR: 46

9/2

LADY OF AUTHORITY put in a good shift when third here recently (first start in this sphere since August 2019) and she is taken to strike off an attractive mark. Celtic Classic has also dipped to a tempting mark (4 lb lower than for his latest success at Kempton last September) and he is a much-respected main danger. Ember's Glow is one of several others with decent each-way claims in an open race.
