Ranco^t⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 88

7/2

Out of sorts for David Pipe to end 2021 but having been sold cheaply, he capitalised on a falling mark for new yard in 7-runner contest at Newton Abbot last week. Has to be of interest under a penalty.

Ten Past Midnight^v²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 92| CD

9/4

Back to form with a bang in a first-time visor when beating Leopolds Rock by 4 lengths to win 2m Southwell handicap last month. That rival reversed the form over C&D last month but it was still another sound effort.

Form: 13P-812

Falco Du Sauzay⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex| OR: 90

20/1

Long-standing maiden who ended time with Anthony McCann in disappointing fashion and he's not straightforward.

Form: 74PP-84

Henri Le Bon^b¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 90

7/1

Remains a maiden but falling in the weights and got a bit closer when third of 9 at Market Rasen 19 days ago. Should give it another good go.

Form: 5397-53

Seaborough²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 89

14/1

Winless since 2019, though ran another good race in this sphere when well-backed fourth in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f) in February. Recent spin on the level will have blown away the cobwebs.

Numero Uno^p⁴⁵⁷

100/1

Trio of heavy defeats for Tim Vaughan in 2020/21 but changed yards and fitted with cheekpieces prior to getting the job sone at Taunton in April 2021 Off since and left Dr Richard Newland cheaply.

Charle Brune^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Mechie| OR: 86| D

12/1

Bit more like it when third at Market Rasen (20.6f) but losing run dates back to May 2019. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 03F3-F3

George Mallory¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: B S Hughes| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 74

12/1

Fair on Flat (stays 1½m) for Kevin Ryan and has yet to show much over hurdles for this yard, plugging on for fifth over C&D 17 days ago.

Form: P/058-55

Agent Saonois^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 71| CD

10/3

Tongue tied for the first time over hurdles and landed 7-runner C&D handicap last week, well on top of stablemate by the finish. Effectively 2 lb lower here so probably the one to beat.

Form: 83-4571

Forecasts

Ten Past Midnight (9/4), Agent Saonois (10/3), Ranco (7/2), Annual Review (6/1), Henri Le Bon (7/1), Balearic (7/1), George Mallory (12/1), Charle Brune (12/1), Seaborough (14/1), Boundsy Boy (16/1), Falco Du Sauzay (20/1), Numero Uno (100/1)

AGENT SAONOIS saw off a shorter-priced stablemate over this C&D last week, and given he was out of the weights on that occaasion, he's effectively 2 lb lower here. The follow-up therefore may well be forthcoming, with Ranco and Balearic feared most.
