Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: M L W Bell

6/4

Fairly useful maiden on Flat, stays 17f, below form last time. Starts out over hurdles at a very realistic level so he's of interest.

Noble Anthem²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: A Watson| BF

2/1

Dam half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Changing The Guard. Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m), won twice in 2022, behind in handicaps last 2 starts. Shaped better than end result sent hurdling at Musselburgh and he's expected to build on that.

Form: 3

Positive Force⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies

12/1

Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1m, well held in handicap last time. Sold from Kevin Ryan 10,000 gns in October and joined another good yard.

Form:

Red Command⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

40/1

Poor maiden on Flat but did at least show more than on hurdles debut when fourth at Wetherby on Wednesday.

Form: P4

Ardbraccan¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Burke| T: C E LongsdonWS

5/1

Fairly useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Last of 4 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good). First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon and she's had a breathing op.

Form:

Chicago Gal⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

25/1

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chase winner (stayed 3m) Circus Maximus. Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, barely stays 2m. Sold from Alan King for just 1,500 gns in October.

NOBLE ANTHEM ought to leave the form he displayed on hurdles debut at Musselburgh well behind, particularly when you consider his Flat ability, so he looks the way to go. Artistic Choice certainly won't lack for stamina in this code and is feared most.
