Afandem^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

18/1

Twenty-seven runs since last win in 2019. Eighth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 360808

(3)

The Gloaming¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 58| D

12/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in October. 17/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Needs considering back on turf.

Form: 525717

(5)

Compton's Finale^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A Keatley| OR: 57| D

66/1

One win from 28 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 28/1) 18 days ago and he's hard to recommend at present.

Form: 3440-99

(10)

Country Charm^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: S Whitaker| OR: 56| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and possibilities back at the minimum trip off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 860304

(12)

Val De Travers¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: D Brooke| OR: 56

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, first run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when very good second of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, heavy) 15 days ago, just failing. High on the shortlist.

Form: 07572

(15)

Captain Corcoran¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 55| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 16/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago. Down another 2 lb and it's likely that he will take a hand in the finish.

Form: 486783

(14)

Showtime Elle¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 54

20/1

25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm). Off 145 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 230-600

(11)

Zoom Star⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 51| D

12/1

11/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 58 days ago, just holding on. 2 lb rise fair enough and she's one of the more appealing candidates.

Form: 473241

(9)

Lucky Beggar²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 51| C| D

22/1

Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Leicester (6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Certainly capable off this sort of mark, but others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 243576

(4)

Rose All Day²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: R E Barr| OR: 48

125/1

50/1, pulled up in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Very hard to make a case for on the back of that display.

Form: 43748P

(1)

Tomahawk Ridge^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 48| D

20/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2019. 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 21 days ago, going off too hard. Each-way shout.

Form: 938626

(7)

Sambucca Spirit¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: T Eaves| T: P T Midgley| OR: 48| D

12/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago. Now 1 lb lower and he should be in the mix.

Form: 856564

(6)

Rockley Point^b¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 48| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 20/1) 11 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Form: 303000

(13)

Blackcurrent¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 47| D

100/1

Temperamental sort. Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 155 days. Cleary more of a force on the AW and he's readily passed over.

Form: 135737

(2)

Cable Guy^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 45

15/2

17/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 31 days ago. This seven-race maiden needs to find some improvement if he's to emerge on top.

Form: 504624

Forecasts

Captain Corcoran (7/2), Country Charm (4/1), Val De Travers (9/2), Cable Guy (15/2), Zoom Star (12/1), The Gloaming (12/1), Sambucca Spirit (12/1), Afandem (18/1), Tomahawk Ridge (20/1), Showtime Elle (20/1), Lucky Beggar (22/1), Rockley Point (25/1), Compton's Finale (66/1), Blackcurrent (100/1), Rose All Day (125/1)

THE GLOAMING followed her Musselburgh success with a below-par display at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, but that wasn't the first time that she has failed to fire on the all-weather. Iain Jardine 's charge can be expected to get back on track now returned to turf and she gets the nod ahead of Sambucca Spirit and Val de Travers.
