Dream A Little⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Botti| OR: 65

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/4 and hooded for 1st time, below pick of form when last of 5 in minor event at Redcar (6f) 61 days ago. Has since changed hands for 7,000 gns and market may guide here.

Form: 7-35

Seesawing²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Brisland| OR: 65| BF

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 25 days ago, running on late. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 32623

Fly The Nest²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Tate| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| C

150/1

Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (7f, good to firm) when last seen in May. Feasible to think this first start for 7 months will be needed.

Form: 614566

Olivia Mary²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: L Carter| OR: 64| BF| D

40/1

Ended time with Jamie Osbourne with success in a Chelmsford claimer (7f) in October. Pulled too hard on yard debut at Lingfield (7f) since but others make more appeal for win purposes.

Grey Galleon^v⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 63

14/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago, never nearer. Is operating below last winning mark at least.

Form: 333968

Song of The Isles³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Main| OR: 63| D

10/1

11/1, respectable fourth of 22 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft) 39 days ago, headway 2f out and keeping on. Not discounted returned to AW/back down in grade.

Form: 190634

Ring Of Gold^b⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 57| D

5/2

3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 days ago, staying on to lead last ½f. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and sound claims once more.

Form: 740421

(13)

Weloof¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 61

80/1

Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Mark has eased a little more but draw out wide may not be ideal.

Form: 815095

(9)

Covert Mission^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 61| BF

5/1

9/4, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on and he should give another good account on the front end.

Form: 872284

(3)

English Spirit^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Main| OR: 60| BF

5/1

Respectable third of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 11/8) 14 days ago, no extra only late on. Return to 7f will suit on that evidence and possibilities in first-time blinkers.

Form: 797343

(2)

Fitzrovia^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 60| C| D

7/1

Won 13-runner handicap (13/2) at this course (1m) 14 days ago, keeping on well to capitalise on his tumbling mark. One of the likelier types with a repeat from a handy draw.

Form: 669061

(6)

Rivas Rob Roy^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 60| D

66/1

Successful 3 times during early part of this year but not returned in much form following a break, well beaten tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 218000

(11)

Adace¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Quinn| T: D K Ivory| OR: 59| D

28/1

Latest win at Chelmsford (7f) in November. 11/2, creditable second of 13 in handicap back at that venue 3 weeks ago, the effort to overcome a slow start taking its toll late on. Not discounted.

Form: 147512

(8)

Rooful¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 53

33/1

Winner at Salisbury (6f) in September. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 13/2) 16 days ago, fading. Return to 7f may have a positive effect now.

Form: 676170

Ring Of Gold (5/2), Seesawing (7/2), English Spirit (5/1), Covert Mission (5/1), Fitzrovia (7/1), Song of The Isles (10/1), Grey Galleon (14/1), Adace (28/1), Rooful (33/1), Olivia Mary (40/1), Dream A Little (66/1), Rivas Rob Roy (66/1), Weloof (80/1), Fly The Nest (150/1)

RING OF GOLD confirmed the promise of his Chelmsford second from a wide draw when shedding the maiden tag at Wolverhampton (7f) 7 days ago, staying on to lead last ½f. He gets the nod to follow up under a penalty again partnered by Joanna Mason with English Spirit and Fitzrovia heading up the dangers, along with Seesawing.
