Winter Spice²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 100

66/1

Won at Plumpton in 2018 but below par since and pulled up on recent return from a long absence. Could only consider if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form: 5/0P6F-P

Sissinghurst^p,t¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Ned Fox⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 98

17/2

Gained first win since 2017 at Market Rasen in December and latest Hereford fifth under 10 lb claimer Ned Fox was creditable.

Form: 412795

Freddy Fanatapan^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Noonan| T: W S Kittow| OR: 97| D

14/1

Taken wide when easily making all at Exeter (21.5f) in November. Below form since, although latest Wincanton fourth was a bit better. Back to only 2 lb above that successful mark.

Form: 41P5P4

Quivvy Lough^t¹⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 96WS

25/1

Much improved to land 23f Uttoxeter handicap on yard debut in September. Better than result when third there next time and given a break (had wind op) since a lesser run at Hereford in November.

Form: 2P-813P

Bowser¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 96

40/1

Winless following 3 starts between the flags and 0-11 under Rules, including beaten a long way on both starts for this yard. Something to prove for now.

Form: 468P50

Very Intense¹⁸⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: N B King| OR: 96| D

25/1

Fine effort when runner-up on debut for this yard following a lengthy absence at Fakenham in January 2020. Not in anything like same form in his 2 runs since and he's been off a further 6 months.

Form: 112/28-P

Potters Vision¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 92

Form: 56/7-485

Outisaid¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 90

7/2

Best effort when third in 19.5f Chepstow handicap in November. Not disgraced when sixth of 17 in 19f Taunton handicap on completed start since returning from a break. Up in trip. Remains unexposed.

Form: 3553F6

Boher Lad¹¹⁶

Age: 14| Weight: 10-13| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 87| C

66/1

Veteran who largely performed with credit last season but well beaten completed starts this term. Plenty to prove.

Form: 62-0U06

Bridey's Lettuce²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 84

16/1

Uttoxeter winner in July 2019 but has yet to get really competitive this season and looked a hard ride last time. Others more obvious.

Form: 96P5F0

Uknowwhatimean^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 84

50/1

Point winner, but lightly raced and limited impact over hurdles, including completed start in handicaps.

Form: U2-07B8

Seasearch^t⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Gray| OR: 83

66/1

Decent effort when fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle in November 2019, but he's otherwise struggled since switched to hurdles. Also well held back on AW Flat latest.

Form: 00-P80P

Dan Gun³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 83

1/1

Notched a pair of wins off higher marks in November 2019. Has just one creditable effort to his name this term but potentially well handicapped on this first outing for Dan Skelton. Very interesting.

Form: P07309

The Model County⁴⁸⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: C Gethings| T: A Phillips| OR: 79

150/1

Very much an all or nothing profile and hasn't been seen for 16 months. Likely she's best watched.

Form: PP5P/2P-

Zahraani¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Eddie Edge⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 77

66/1

Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little in 4 runs over hurdles, including on 2m course handicap debut 14 days ago. Remains to be seen if much longer trip now makes any difference.

Form: 5900

Forecasts

Dan Gun (1/1), Outisaid (7/2), Potters Vision (15/2), Sissinghurst (17/2), Freddy Fanatapan (14/1), Bridey's Lettuce (16/1), Very Intense (25/1), Quivvy Lough (25/1), Ratoute Yutty (33/1), Bowser (40/1), Uknowwhatimean (50/1), Boher Lad (66/1), Zahraani (66/1), Winter Spice (66/1), Seasearch (66/1), The Model County (150/1)

In a race where few have compelling claims it looks well worth taking a chance that Dan Skelton can revive the fortunes of DAN GUN, who is now 9 lb lower than when gaining the second of his 2 wins last season. Quivvy Lough has presumably been waiting for this drier ground and is interesting on her good runs at Uttoxeter in September. Outisaid is also on the shortlist.
