12/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 474278-

Beauzon^h1³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| D

13/2

Unseated rider in stalls 3 days ago. Little recent promise prior to that effort and iothers are preferred again despite much-reduced mark.

Expert Opinion^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| C

5/1

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Seemed lit up by blinkers when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back up in trip with headgear retained.

Form: 068339-

Pandemic Princess^h1,t1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62| D

33/1

Promising stable debut for this yard in November but has disappointed both outings since. Hood and tongue strap on 1st time. Bounce back called for.

Form: 729267-

Jupiter Express^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| BF

11/1

Failed to meet expectations on first run since leaving K. J. Condon when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Worth another chance for shrewd connections.

Form: 356578-

Triggered^v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| D

5/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Bounced back to form when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/1) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Remains on handy mark if able to back that up.

Form: 250002-

Thomas Equinas¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: D K Ivory| OR: 54

16/1

Again made frame when third of 7 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 15 days ago but this is a deeper race than he need contest and others appeal as likelier winners.

Form: 8/05043-

Forecasts

Bobby On The Beat (15/8), Triggered (5/1), Expert Opinion (5/1), Beauzon (13/2), Kath's Toyboy (15/2), Jupiter Express (11/1), Show Me A Sunset (12/1), Thomas Equinas (16/1), Pandemic Princess (33/1)

TRIGGERED lurks on a very handy mark if able to back up his recent Southwell second, so gets the verdict ahead of New Year's Eve Lingfield winner Bobby On The Beat. Jupiter Express and Kath's Toyboy are also considered.
