1m winner at Chelmsford City in October but too keen when ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f) 22 days ago. Tongue strap on now and good claims at these weights on tapeta bow.

25/1

Modest filly. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with others more persuasive.

(13)

Mack The Knife^b⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 42

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort on first run since leaving Jamie Osborne when fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (8f) 55 days ago. Should have more to offer, so he's worth considering.

Form: 000/4-

(12)

Mdina^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 47

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 46

10/1

Poor gelding. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for yard debut when respectable seventh of 12 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Needs another step forward at these weights, however.

Form: 090/05-7

Forecasts

Noble Queen (9/4), Deadly Accurate (11/2), Star Ascending (6/1), Mdina (8/1), On The Rhine (10/1), Norwegian Red (11/1), Four Mile Bridge (12/1), Mack The Knife (14/1), About Glory (18/1), Born To Reason (25/1), Hannalite (25/1), Menina Atrevida (33/1), Dreadnoughtus (40/1)

NOBLE QUEEN is very much favoured by these weights, so is fancied to resume winning ways on her tapeta bow. Mack The Knife has few miles on the clock and made an encouraging start for James Ferguson when fourth at Kempton so looks the chief danger, although Mdina is another low-mileage filly who is worth a second look.
