Cavalluccio^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 66| BF

12/1

Maiden who was strong in betting on yard debut and ultimately lost his chance by blowing the start when ninth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Remains less exposed than most and he's not one to write off.

Form: 236-839

Healing Power⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 66| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield (7f) in July. 11/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago, weakening having been headed early in the straight. No forlorn hope.

Form: 313260

Silks Pass^b,t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 65

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Clearly not out of things from this sort of mark but widest draw of all not ideal.

Form: 532944

Full Intention^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 65| CD

5/2

5-time C&D winner. Eighth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago, pushed along early in straight but never a threat. However, mark is easing all the time and he's often gone well for this pilot.

Form: 094408

Weloof²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 63| C

22/1

Course winner. Stepped up on his return effort at Southwell in October when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. All wins gained at 1m+ and not ideally drawn on this occasion.

Form: 0-81285

Luna Queen^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: C Allen| OR: 62

5/1

Winner at Lingfield in August. Good third of 9 in handicap back at that venue (7f, AW, 9/1) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider.

Form: 341983

Good Humor¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler| OR: 61| D

11/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (1m) in July, plenty to do home turn but merely closing up late. Absent since and interesting what the market makes of him from much reduced mark. Yard also saddles Weloof.

Form: 055767

Port Noir^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 61| D

10/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 42 days ago, albeit not unduly punished. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more.

Form: 252088

(8)

Deacs Delight^b,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 60

10/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to 7f may well help now and refitting of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) could well put an extra edge on him.

Form: 7-48077

(6)

Champagne Supanova¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 59| C

11/1

Course winner. Third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 13/2) in August, merely closing up late. Not the easiest to predict but operating from last winning mark if another break has positive effect.

Form: 14-0303

(9)

Holdenhurst^v⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 59| D

33/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 94 days. Visor back on. Tough to assess at present.

Form: 543777

Jazz Music⁵³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

100/1

Little form at up to 1m in novice/handicap company during first half of 2021 and she's best watched on belated return.

Form: 509900-

Forecasts

Full Intention (5/2), Luna Queen (5/1), Healing Power (11/2), Silks Pass (8/1), Port Noir (10/1), Deacs Delight (10/1), Champagne Supanova (11/1), Good Humor (11/1), Cavalluccio (12/1), Weloof (22/1), Holdenhurst (33/1), Jazz Music (100/1)

This looks tricky but LUNA QUEEN dispelled a pair of lesser efforts when third over this trip at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and, with cheekpieces replacing blinkers, she could be the answer. Cavalluccio did himself no favours with a slow break on yard debut latest but had shaped encouragingly here previously and he's not discounted, along with Deacs Delight.
