L'Enclume⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 76| CD

5/2

Thrice-raced winner. Won 13-runner novice at this C&D (11/2) 42 days ago, comfortably. Handicapper has taken no chances with her opening mark, but she's open to further improvement.

Form: 85-1

Needle Lace¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: G Boughey| OR: 70

10/3

Second of 10 in novice at Lingfield (12f, AW, 2/1) 11 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut. May do better still, so she's dangerous if allowed her own way in front.

Form: 8/22

Cherokee Dance^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| D

9/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 9/2, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 31 days ago, well positioned. One to consider for all others looks more progressive.

Form: 94122-2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 69| D

66/1

Winner at Lingfield in September. Tenth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (14f, soft). Off 106 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer. Hard to make a solid case for.

Allowed²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 67

9/4

Promising type. 3/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Type to go on progressing, so well capable of following up.

Form: 6743-1

Luna Magic¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| OR: 62

33/1

28/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 880-637

(4)

Parikarma^p,h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58

14/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. 8/1 and hooded for 1st time, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (11f) 14 days ago, running on. Not discounted.

Form: 884-652

ALLOWED opened her account at Southwell last time despite going the long way round and, with this further step up in trip likely to suit, she's fancied to go in again. Handicap-debutantes Needle Lace and L'Enclume, who also arrive with progressive profiles, could both give the selection plenty to think about.
