18/1

Latest win at Southwell in November. 5/1, returned to form down in grade when third of 6 in claimer at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Not without hope but should find a couple too good.

Suzi's Connoisseur^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 65| D

7/2

Temperamental sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Fared better than of late when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 15 days ago, running on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Daring Guest^p⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 63| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Soon back to form when fifth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 59 days ago, finishing well but left with too much to do. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly.

5/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 9/4, shaped as if still in good form when third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Shortlist material.

We're Reunited^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: R Harris| OR: 61| C

6/1

10/1, produced a really gutsy display to finally get off the mark in 11-runner handicap at this course (5.1f) 27 days ago, finding extra. Up just 3 lb and a big player if building on that.

Form: 556381

Last Date¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 61| D

25/1

25/1, ran to just a similar level to his comeback when ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Something to find on form.

Form: 7141-49

Astrophysics^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 60| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Got back on track returned to the scene of his last win when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 26 days ago, short of room 1f out. Must build on that to feature.

Forecasts

Suzi's Connoisseur (7/2), It Must Be Faith (5/1), We're Reunited (6/1), Daring Guest (15/2), A Go Go (15/2), Griggy (10/1), Aces (11/1), Requinto Dawn (18/1), Glorious Charmer (18/1), Blessed To Empress (22/1), Last Date (25/1), Moveonup (33/1), Astrophysics (40/1)

IT MUST BE FAITH is in fine form at present and gets the nod to get back to winning ways having been left poorly placed at Lingfield earlier this week. Daring Guest looks the main danger on paper after a close fifth at Lingfield a couple of months ago, while A Go Go is another who is thriving at present and should be in the mix as she bids for a quick-fire hat-trick.
