Eagle One⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

6/4

On the up for current yard, and he bagged 6-runner handicap (2/1) over C&D 5 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty but he's still quite unexposed at this trip and holds good claims.

Can Can Girl¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: D H Brown| OR: 67| D

4/1

Visored for 1st time, good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/2) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Temperamental sort, though, so others remain more persuasive.

Percy Willis^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 67

10/1

Below form third of 10 in maiden at Southwell (11.1f, 10/3) 8 days ago, despite having run of race. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 844333

Tommy R^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 66

50/1

Latest win at Hamilton in July. 14/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with serious questions to answer at present.

Form: 114D00

Meisterzinger^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: M D I Usher| OR: 63

22/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in September. Only tenth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 22 days ago. Up in trip and needs to get back on track.

The Bay Warrior^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M D I Usher| OR: 63

11/2

Off 7 months before fading seventh of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (12f) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly if building on that effort now.

Form: 425217

(2)

Cherokee Dance^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 63

28/1

Still a maiden, but she posted creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 33/1) 24 days ago. Shortlist material eased 1 lb.

Form: 2-D3294

Eagle's Realm^p,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: F O'Brien| OR: 62

12/1

11/4, good third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on, and in the mix off an unchamged mark.

Form: 882-023

(11)

She's No Angel¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 59

9/1

Latest win at Newcastle in September. Good third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 17 days ago, so she needs considering again.

Form: 813153

(9)

Ghostly^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 59| C

40/1

Course winner who arrives on back of good fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 12 days ago when not ideally placed. Back up in trip and not ruled out.

Form: 677175

(5)

Johnny Estella^p,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: R Menzies| OR: 58

28/1

22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 7 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 3-72995

Forecasts

Eagle One (6/4), Can Can Girl (4/1), The Bay Warrior (11/2), She's No Angel (9/1), Percy Willis (10/1), Eagle's Realm (12/1), Meisterzinger (22/1), Cherokee Dance (28/1), Johnny Estella (28/1), Ghostly (40/1), Tommy R (50/1)

A tightly-knit handicap in which EAGLE ONE is takent to defy a 6 lb penalty for his C&D success and make it 2-3 since joining Ronald Harris. In-form maiden Eagle's Realm is feared most, although both She's No Angel and Cherokee Dance can have a say too on the back of good recent efforts.
