Bawaader⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A Sadik| OR: 47

7/2

One win from 29 Flat runs. 11/2, turned in another creditable effort and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Fancied to be in the mix again.

Breguet Boy^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46| D

9/2

Flat/hurdles winner who arrives on a long losing run but better signs from basement mark of late, running on for third in 8-runner Lingfield handicap (1m) 26 days ago. One to bear in mind.

Celtic Saoirse⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan| OR: 49

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort in maiden/novice company when fourth over 7f here in October but easy to back and offered little on handicap debut back here in November. It does remain early days at least back from a short break.

Form: 4040-

(9)

Chloellie^v⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 44| C

8/1

5-time course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 25/1) 6 days ago, merely plugging on. Return to this venue needs to spark a revival.

Form: 52570-4

No Diggity^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 50| CD

9/4

Runner-up twice here prior to justifying cramped odds in a C&D minor event 12 months ago. Below that level next 3 starts and whilst he ran poorly at Lingfield in December, that was his first start for 9 months. Better expected in refitted blinkers.

Form: 219508-

Plymouth Rock^t,v⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: L Carter| OR: 50| D

25/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (7f, soft, 16/1) 86 days ago.

Form: 095504-

Secret Tryst^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Knight| OR: 49

18/1

40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on.

Form: 690800-

Send In The Clouds²⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

9/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 10 in minor event (5/1) at Lingfield (1m) back in June, headway approaching straight and weakening final 1f. Absent since and market may prove a useful guide for yard amongst the winners.

Form: 5/03366-

(3)

Sunsets Dreamers^b1,t1²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A Stronge| OR: 43

50/1

Maiden who has yet to better poor form and she again offered little when last of 9 in a first-time visor at Chepstow (1m) in June. Much more needed on return to action.

Form: 690/709-

Forecasts

No Diggity (9/4), Bawaader (7/2), Send In The Clouds (9/2), Breguet Boy (9/2), Chloellie (8/1), Secret Tryst (18/1), Plymouth Rock (25/1), Celtic Saoirse (28/1), Sunsets Dreamers (50/1)

A trappy contest in which it could pay to take a chance on NO DIGGITY. Possibly in need of his first start for 9 months at Lingfield in December, the pick of his runs last year came over C&D and, with blinkers refitted, a better showing can be expected. Breguet Boy and Bawaader both arrive in good order and can also figure.
