Lafan³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| BF

5/1

Latest win at Kempton in October. Respectable 1¾ lengths sixth of 13 to El Camino in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 3/1) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and he has to enter calculations.

20/1

Course winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 22/1) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others make more appeal on balance.

Forecasts

Masked Identity (5/2), Lafan (5/1), Motawaafeq (5/1), Cityzen Serg (11/2), Asdaa (13/2), El Camino (15/2), Critical Thinking (12/1), Swinging Eddie (20/1), Society Red (22/1), Love Destiny (40/1), Win Win Power (100/1)

The vote goes to MOTAWAAFEQ, who has hit the target 3 times this year and did well to finish as close as he did when third from a poor draw at Kempton recently. Masked Identity snapped a losing run at Newmarket last month and merits respect, but Lafan is second choice, for all that he was below par when behind El Camino at Chelmsford. Cityzen Serg is also worthy of consideration.
