3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/8, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 6 days ago, headed around 1f out but keeping on. No surprise to see him give another good account.

9/4

Winless last year but back on track following a short break when runner-up in 8-runner Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) 9 days ago, caught final 50 yds. Needs to back that up now.

Form: 34935-2

Lucayan^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: J Parr| OR: 66| CD

13/8

4-y-o filly who arrives on a roll, completing 4-timer when landing 11-runner C&D handicap 10 days ago, plenty in hand. Has to be taken seriously once again under a penalty.

25/1

C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, needing emphasis more on stamina. Step back up in trip a plus now operating from last winning mark.

Latest win at Salisbury in August. 33/1, good second of 14 in C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, running up to best behind a much less-exposed rival. Fancied to feature again.

Noble Dawn^h,t⁴¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: I Furtado| OR: 70

11/1

All-weather novice winner (7f) as a 2-y-o who went close on a couple of occasions in turf handicaps during 2020. Missed the whole of last year though and the market likely to prove best guide here.

Lucayan (13/8), Dark Company (9/4), Mawkeb (3/1), Noble Dawn (11/1), Takeonefortheteam (14/1), Fieldsman (25/1)

LUCAYAN is a filly operating at the top of her game at present, completing the 4-timer with plenty in hand over C&D 10 days ago, and she looks sure to go well again under a penalty. Takeonefortheteam and Mawkeb can give her most to think about.
