Ballybaymoonshiner⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: M McGrath| OR: 53

13/2

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 44 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 07-9373

Priscilla's Wish¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 52

22/1

11/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 154 days. Hard to know if she'll be tuned up, and has stall 12 to contend with.

Form: 714537-

Confrerie¹⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 51| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 11/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW). Off 6 months. Returns on a handy mark and stable has been in good form lately.

Form: 057495-

Aiguillette^t,v¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 50| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Good second of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 4/1). Off 170 days. Solid claims if he's ready to go on seasonal debut.

Boy George⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 50| D

11/2

One win from 35 Flat runs. Winner at Chelmsford City in October. 15/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 44 days ago. Out of sorts.

Form: 122-665

Jeremiah Johnson^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Dow| OR: 49| C

11/4

10/3, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner minor event at this course (10f, AW) 31 days ago. Holding his form and this isn't a strong race by any means, so should go well.

Form: 6-24221

(6)

Bbob Alula^t,v¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 48

16/1

Untrustworthy individual. One win from 29 Flat runs. 13/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, heavy). Off 179 days. Others more persuasive.

Form: 553260-

Kingston Kurrajong^p⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 47| D

40/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 87 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0/0078-6

(11)

Vitesse Du Son^p,h1,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 45| BF| C

7/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Mark Pattinson when fourth of 11 in handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Well treated if he can build on stable debut.

Form: 00-8464

(4)

Reformed Character^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: P Leech| OR: 45

14/1

Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/1) 24 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Should benefit from return to a mile.

Form: 599/348

(3)

Dancing Jo^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: G Deacon| OR: 45| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Thirty runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, first run since leaving Mick Channon when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Jeremiah Johnson (11/4), Vitesse Du Son (7/2), Boy George (11/2), Aiguillette (13/2), Ballybaymoonshiner (13/2), Confrerie (12/1), Reformed Character (14/1), Bbob Alula (16/1), Queen Sarabi (16/1), Priscilla's Wish (22/1), Kingston Kurrajong (40/1), Dancing Jo (50/1)

VITESSE DU SON is on an appealing mark and made a positive start for a shrewd stable when fourth at Wolverhampton last time, so he could be tough to peg back if he can get to the front from stall 11. Last-time-out winner Jeremiah Johnson is an obvious danger and Aiguillette can make his presence felt if fit enough for his return.
