Pholas^t1¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: G Boughey| OR: 60

3/1

Promising sort. First run since leaving Amanda Perrett when eighth of 10 in minor event here (10f, AW, 33/1) in September. Tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut and improvement anticipated.

Form: 048-

Holy Tiber^b⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 60| D

11/1

Latest win here in August. 16/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 54 days ago, not ideally placed. Blinkers back on. May find one or two too good.

Form: 171474-

Bint Dandy^b¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 60| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 25/1, good neck third of 14 to Apollinaris in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, never nearer. Not without each-way hope, but she's again drawn wide.

Form: 95979-3

Mayson Mount⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 59

4/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 8 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter if he's to open his account at the ninth time of asking.

Form: 39037-4

Apollinaris¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S Dow| OR: 59| CD

11/4

6/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb rise fair and claims if able to build on that.

Form: 5/6077-1

(6)

Champagne Supanova³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Spencer| OR: 59

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 28/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 34 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 278960-

Morning Shadow^b1,t1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 58

18/1

9/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 16 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap on 1st time and capable of making her presence felt off this mark if on-song.

Form: 9/60870-

(12)

Desert Dream¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S Spencer| OR: 57| D

8/1

16/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, digging deep. Nudged up just 2 lb and should be in the mix if proving equally effective on this surface.

Form: 0990/01-

Trixie Waterbury¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 56

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form 4¼ lengths eighth of 14 to Apollinaris in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Place possibilities.

Form: 9730-8

(3)

Amnaa^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 46

66/1

Latest win at Kempton in December. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 79183-7

Porto Ferro^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45| C

33/1

Course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2018. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, AW, 16/1) 16 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 660345-

Your Choice⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

28/1

Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. First run since leaving Laura Mongan when seventh of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/3) 7 days ago. Others preferred.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

80/1

Forecasts

Apollinaris (11/4), Pholas (3/1), Mayson Mount (4/1), Desert Dream (8/1), Holy Tiber (11/1), Aces N Kings (12/1), Champagne Supanova (14/1), Bint Dandy (14/1), Morning Shadow (18/1), Your Choice (28/1), Trixie Waterbury (33/1), Porto Ferro (33/1), Amnaa (66/1), Alfie's Angel (80/1)

PHOLAS didn't show much on debut for this yard here in September, but she's of interest now handicapping off a potentially handy opening mark with a tongue strap enlisted. Desert Dream left his comeback run well behind when narrowly prevailing at Wolverhampton and, assuming that he takes to this surtace, another bold show could be on the way. Morning Shadow is also worthy of consideration.
