Central Hall^p1¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| BF

1/4

Promising type who matched debut form when second of 14 in novice event at Kempton (1m) in September, no match for winner but nicely on top of the remainder. Type to do better again and solid claims.

Form: 42

(1)

Christy's Star⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at this C&D 75 days ago, hanging badly left halfway. Can only be watched.

Form: 97

(5)

Irish Flame⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

17/2

Dark Angel gelding. Not without promise when fifth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) on debut 79 days ago, chasing leaders over 1f out and no extra. Has since switched yards and likely he has more to offer.

Form: 5

(7)

John The Pirate⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Madi Patzelt⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby

66/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 66/1, third of 5 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago, slowly away. Handicaps over further entitled to be more his bag in this sphere.

Form: 63

Notimeforanother⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish

25/1

Time Test gelding. Fair form when runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers at Market Rasen (13f) in October. Seemed to lack for stamina upped to 17f at Aintree subsequently and he could well be the type to make his mark in this sphere.

Positive Force³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 68

22/1

Fair gelding. First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when 12/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run.

Form: 362450

(2)

Weydaad⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| BF

13/2

Promising sort. Fourth of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 5/4) 9 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip now and she's very much the type to do better.

Form: 34

Forecasts

Central Hall (1/4), Weydaad (13/2), Irish Flame (17/2), Positive Force (22/1), Notimeforanother (25/1), John The Pirate (66/1), Christy's Star (150/1)

CENTRAL HALL again ran to a fairly useful level when runner-up in a Kempton novice over this trip in September and, with potential for better still, he can get off the mark at the third attempt. Weydaad and Irish Flame can emerge next best.
