Dubai Quality^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74

4/1

Arrives in decent nick for her new stable, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 16/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on now and she needs considering.

Form: 1447-44

Lady Nectar¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 72| CD

9/1

C&D winner but he signed off for last season with last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Weighted to have a say if back in form on her return.

Jill Rose¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 67| CD

16/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Pontefract (5f, heavy) in October. Not dismissed if fully tuned up on her reappearance.

Forecasts

Ghathanfar (15/8), Dubai Quality (4/1), End Zone (13/2), Freedom Flyer (8/1), Lady Nectar (9/1), Stroxx (10/1), Dick Datchery (11/1), Shoot To Kill (14/1), Jill Rose (16/1), Flavius Titus (25/1)

Plenty with chances if on their A-game but GHATHANFAR rates the most solid option on the back of his stylish Redcar victory and he gets the vote. Stroxx remains without a win but is feared most after an encouraging return behind the selection that day, with Freedom Flyer not taken lightly either for his new handler.
