Harswell Duke²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 79| CD

Colombidea^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 81

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, 10¼ lengths ninth of 12 to Soft Whisper in listed race at Ascot 25 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Opening mark looks quite stiff but she's capable of better.

Form: 5-49

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 17-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 4/1) 23 days ago, well drawn. On an upward curve and merits strong consideration.

Ermin Street¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 80| D

80/1

Respectable third of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Goodwood (8f, good to firm). Off 131 days. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills. Worth a market check.

Form: 0-41D43

Metabolt³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: D Loughnane| OR: 75| BF

11/4

Promising sort. Winner at Carlisle in September. 2/1, respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago, never nearer. Remains with potential and makes most appeal.

Form: 0214

Poet's Dawn²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

14/1

Below form 12 lengths tenth of 17 to Cisco Disco in handicap (11/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 23 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not discounted.

Form: 235130

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: T Kent| OR: 70

8/1

18/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago, slowly away. Up against it.

Fitzrovia^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 65| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D (heavy) 21 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 86D290

Wotever Next^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 66

20/1

Lightly-raced winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Harswell Duke (13/8), Metabolt (11/4), Cisco Disco (7/2), Intercessor (6/1), Super Den (8/1), Poet's Dawn (14/1), Wotever Next (20/1), Colombidea (25/1), Fitzrovia (50/1), Ermin Street (80/1)

Having opened his account at Carlisle in September, METABOLT shaped better than the result when fourth at Chester last time, and he's well worth a chance to resume progress. Last-time-out winners Cisco Disco and Harswell Duke should also play a hand.
