Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 75| D

25/1

Temperamental sort. Latest win here (7.6f, turf) in September. No threat faced with inadequate trips on each of his 2 starts for present yard but this rates more suitable at least.

5/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

7/2

Lightly-raced winner. Second of 4 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 16/5) 23 days ago, no match for winner. Remains low-mileage, so not one to dismiss out of hand switched to polytrack.

Form: 8/331-2

66/1

Latest win at Strasbourg claimer (10f) in October. 16/1, first run since leaving H. Grewe when last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on UK debut 13 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 81125-9

7/4

Won 12-runner handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, leading final 1f and responding well. No surprise to see him go well from revised mark with capable pilot taking off vauable 5 lb.

Cesifire¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: A West| OR: 66

40/1

Latest win at Southwell in November. However, well beaten all 3 starts at that venue since and others make greater appeal.

Forecasts

Catch My Breath (7/4), Always Fearless (5/2), Thrill Seeker (7/2), Rogue Tide (4/1), Light Up Our Stars (5/1), Thechildren'strust (25/1), Cesifire (40/1), Hamaron (66/1)

ALWAYS FEARLESS has gone close on each of his last 3 starts, proving better than ever when just failing to get up at Newcastle (1m) 40 days ago. He gets the nod to go one place better, with Catch My Breath, under Laura Pearson, and Rogue Tide heading up the dangers.
