Little Ted²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

4/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 15/2) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Given a chance by the handicapper and definite chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 4834-75

(4)

Dandy's Angel¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 59

8/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago. Still, she's now 5 lb lower than for her breakthrough success at Catterick last summer and conditions won't be an issue.

Form: 07459-7

Zoravan^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58

11/2

Nineteen runs since last win in 2018. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 8/1) 17 days ago and each-way chance if able to build on that.

Form: 2298/45

(9)

First Response^p⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 58| BF

9/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/4, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 55 days ago, slowly away. On a good mark, but not sure he wants ground this slow.

Form: 39-4506

(11)

Must Be An Angel⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 58

11/1

5/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 59 days ago. Now 0-14 and, chances are, she'll find a few too good once more.

Form: 0-35470

Havana Go²⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 53| D

33/1

Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm, 4/1) when last seen in August. Profile has a patchy look to it and he's probably worth taking on back from a 9-month absence.

Form: 975/410-

(2)

Pushover^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 50

50/1

66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Noel C. Kelly when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (14f, soft) 8 days ago. Significantly down in trip and best watched.

Form: 95/000-7

(10)

Zealous¹³³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 50| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 133 days. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 47430-0

(6)

Starbo³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 49

12/1

First run since leaving Ben Haslam when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 7/1) 32 days ago. Best effort to date came on the AW and stamina to prove now upped in trip.

Form: 8/0297-0

(7)

Highlight Reel²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 48| BF

11/1

Unreliable type. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap (7/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Up in trip and others are more persuasive on balance.

Form: 136-438

(13)

Buzz Lightyere^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

66/1

Temperamental sort. Twenty eight runs since last win in 2018. 66/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 30 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 966340

(5)

Wensley^p²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 45

14/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft, 50/1) 2 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 3860-76

(8)

Detective^b1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: G Lee| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 45

3/1

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 12/1) 31 days ago. Slower ground to contend with here and first-time blinkers will need to spark some improvement.

Form: 0/609-43

Forecasts

Detective (3/1), Little Ted (4/1), Zoravan (11/2), Dandy's Angel (8/1), First Response (9/1), Highlight Reel (11/1), Must Be An Angel (11/1), Starbo (12/1), Wensley (14/1), Havana Go (33/1), Zealous (40/1), Pushover (50/1), Buzz Lightyere (66/1)

A chance is taken on DANDY'S ANGEL, who probably needed the run when returning from a 4-month break at Ayr recently and she'll have every chance if able to reproduce something akin to her peak 2020 form. There's a significant ground question mark surrounding First Response, while Highlight Reel is not for maximum faith. Consequently, Zoravan and Little Ted rate the main dangers.
