Eltham Palace¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55| D

5/1

18/1, won 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago, bit in hand. 4 lb rise by no means harsh and leading claims with Olivia Haines aboard once again.

Form: 35-2541

(5)

Magical Dragon^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 54| BF

10/3

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 15/8) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and merits consideration off a workable mark.

Form: 249675

Colonial Love^v1⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: R Brisland| OR: 52| C

80/1

Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 68 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor helping to spark a return to form.

Form: 757370

Blairlogie^v⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 51| D

25/1

One win from 34 Flat runs. Winner at Chelmsford City in August. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 54 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Place possibilities.

Form: 274126

(4)

All About Alice^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Martin Smith| OR: 52

9/2

Latest win at Southwell in August. 10/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs to get back on track but will be in with a shout if able to do just that.

Form: 341577

(10)

Villalobos^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 51| C

10/3

Winner here in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 5/2) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put his best foot forward.

Form: 0-94219

(7)

Star Of Epsom²⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 47| BF

10/1

15/8, respectable sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (11f) when last seen in February. Record stands at 0-11 but she should be in the mix if fit enough to do herself justice.

Form: 366-346

(13)

Three Dons⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49| BF

12/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 57 days ago. Likely he will have to settle for minor honours once more.

Form: 842326

(8)

Breguet Boy^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46

50/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 22/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 097900

(2)

Miss Elsa²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: L Carter| OR: 46| CD

28/1

Three-time C&D winner, albeit latest success was back in February 2020. Last of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 14/1), badly hampered. Off 8 months and capable of getting involved off this mark if she's fully tuned-up.

Form: 903379

(12)

Smarden Flyer⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: K Jewell| OR: 49

9/1

25/1, below form fourth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 75 days ago. Up in trip and not discounted here off a reduced mark with Jim Crowley booked.

Form: 3-24604

(11)

Maykir⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

150/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 80/1) 43 days ago. Up in trip and can only be watched at present.

Form: 98-9500

(9)

By Pass^v¹⁵

50/1, fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 15 days ago. Back up in trip and visor refitted. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Villalobos (10/3), Magical Dragon (10/3), All About Alice (9/2), Eltham Palace (5/1), Smarden Flyer (9/1), Star Of Epsom (10/1), Liberated Lad (10/1), Three Dons (12/1), Blairlogie (25/1), Miss Elsa (28/1), Breguet Boy (50/1), By Pass (50/1), Colonial Love (80/1), Maykir (150/1)

ELTHAM PALACE belatedly opened her account at Chelmsford recently, at the same time providing apprentice Olivia Haines with her first winner, and she looks capable of following up off a 4 lb higher mark here. Magical Dragon is feared off this career-low mark, while cases can also be made for All About Alice and Star of Epsom. However, Smarden Flyer, who is interesting upped in trip with Jim Crowley aboard, may emerge as the main danger.
