Exalted Angel¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 105| D

7/2

Smart gelding. Off 5 months, 7¼ lengths ninth of 11 to Good Effort in listed race at Lingfield (6f, 9/1) 10 days ago, weakening having raced up with classy winner. This is easier and good chance.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 104| CD

7/1

Bagged a third win of 2021 in 6f handicap at York in July. Not so good since, held in Ayr Gold Cup (50/1) 66 days ago. Goes well here.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 99| D

7/1

Latest win at Leicester in October. Length fourth of 6 to Mondammej in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 33 days ago. More needed in this company.

Fizzy Feet¹¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 98| CD

11/1

Useful mare on AW who also scored off much-reduced turf mark at Windsor in May. This trip surely on the short side on first run for 114 days.

Mondammej^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 97| CD

11/10

4 wins from 17 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 33 days ago, conceding first run but showing a good attitude to lead dying strides. Can go well again.

Royal Birth^t³³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 88| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 14/1, 4½ lengths fifth of 6 to Mondammej in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark and could be building up to something.

Marnie James¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 87| D

22/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. 33/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Classy on his day but will find easier races.

Form: 303/470

Forecasts

Mondammej (11/10), Exalted Angel (7/2), Venturous (7/1), Blue De Vega (7/1), Fizzy Feet (11/1), Marnie James (22/1), Royal Birth (22/1)

MONDAMMEJ has won 3 of his last 5 starts, looking a reformed character in the process, and is worth backing to follow up last month's C&D success. Exalted Angel is a live player back in calmer waters, while Royal Birth could be building up to a bigger performance.
