Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 47

9/2

Ninth of 10 in minor event at this C&D (33/1) 9 days ago, missing break and always behind. Needs to step up on that to play a part even at this low level.

Tilsworth Rose^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 41| C

20/1

Landed a 5f classified event here in August but failed to match that subsequently, never a threat in a Lingfield handicap (5f) 12 days ago. This is at least less demanidng.

Form: 67990-9

Top Boy^p⁵⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 9-2| J: Emma Taff⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46| C| D

2/1

Course winner who ran well when runner-up (in refitted cheekpieces) here (5f) in October. Not in same form when tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) since but certainly no forlorn hope here.

Forecasts

Top Boy (2/1), Krazy Paving (9/4), Nozieres (9/2), Indian Affair (13/2), Moveonup (9/1), Tilsworth Rose (20/1)

INDIAN AFFAIR didn't shape all that badly on the back of 15 months off when midfield in a Wolverhampton handicap 24 days ago, and now down at this basement grade, he could well be the answer. Top Boy and Krazy Paving head up the dangers.
