Mukha Magic^b,t⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 79| C

6/1

Course winner who gained fifth win of the year at Chelmsford (14f) in August. Not disgraced from his inflated mark next 2 starts and this more suitable than his assignment in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket in October.

Champagne City⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: T Eaves| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 76| D

25/1

Belied odds of 20/1 when making every post a winning one in a 7-runner Salisbury handicap (14.2f) in August. Exploits mixed in 2 starts since, well held at Goodwood (2m) back in October. Has switched yards ahead of this.

Form: 30/5140

Blazeon Five⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: R A Teal| OR: 73

13/8

4-y-o who has proved well served by step up to 2m, landing back-to-back Kempton handicaps latterly in October. Absent since but unlikely she's reached her limit over staying trips yet on that evidence. Big shout.

Form: 7-76311

Maketh Believeth^p⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 73

4/1

15/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, heavy) in October, plugging on late. Has since switched yards and sole success to date came on AW so he's certainly no forlorn hope operating from last winning mark.

Form: 2-24535

Flint Hill⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 73| D

11/2

Boosted his good record at Pontefract (18f) in October and produced a rare below par display when well held seventh of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newmarket (2m) later that month. Lightly raced on AW but present mark probably about right.

Shadowfax¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

9/2

Low-mileage 3-y-o who offered definite signs of promise in maiden/novice events at up to 12f. Could only run to a similar level when sixth of 10 on handicap debut at Kempton (2m) 16 days ago but it remains early days with him.

Form: 9466

Forecasts

Blazeon Five (13/8), Maketh Believeth (4/1), Shadowfax (9/2), Flint Hill (11/2), Mukha Magic (6/1), Champagne City (25/1)

BLAZEON FIVE has improved for the step up to 2m, landing back-to-back Kempton handicaps in good style in recent months and she can handle another rise back up the weights and complete the hat-trick. Maketh Believeth, on debut for Amy Murphy, and Flint Hill may emerge next best.
