Miramichi⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 83| C

7/2

Racked up a 4 timer last summer, including a course victory. Good runs here the last twice, just failing last week, and got to be respected back up in distance.

Form: 24-4632

Frontispiece²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 83| CD

12/1

Goes well here, landing C&D handicap in September and also second on return. Rare poor run back from 10 weeks off last time but won't stay down for long.

Form: 7331-26

Zain Nights^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 84| BF| C

3/1

Off the mark in 1m novice here in October and good efforts in handicaps the last twice, although he appeared to spurn a good opportunity in C&D contest last time. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 41-722

Divine Jewel²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 81| D

5/2

Much improved on handicap debut when winning Lingfield (AW) contest over this trip 4 weeks ago, easily making all. 6 lb rise could be lenient and there is more to come back on turf.

Form: 23-21

(5)

Yarralumla⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: C G Cox| OR: 78

6/1

Fairly useful maiden who looked ready for this longer trip at Bath last time. Could have a race or two in her.

Form: 632-23

(4)

Vaynor²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 73| D

9/1

Has really found his stride since returning to turf after a break, following up his Bath success in Newmarket handicap over this trip 22 days ago. Good chance in hat-trick bid.

Form: 5-44711

DIVINE JEWEL was an easy winner on her handicap debut at Lingfield 4 weeks ago, relishing the step up to this trip, and this well-bred filly can go on improving for a while yet. Vaynor must be respected in his hat-trick bid, while Miramichi is a player back up in distance.
