Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: Lily Pinchin| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 106

Had dropped a long way in the weights when landing mares' event at Cheltenham under this rider last month and ran well back against the males in a useful-looking contest at Leicester. Still on a good mark down in grade/trip and should go well.

Form: 3P-2213

Sabbathical¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104| D

Showed benefit of comeback run and justified good support to score over fences at Fakenham (2m) in November. Backed it up with a creditable second at Sedgefield but ran no sort of race in the Ffos Las mud a fortnight ago.

Form: 36-412P

En Coeur^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Daniel Sansom| T: J W Mullins| OR: 94| CD

Enhanced a tremendous record at this track with a fourth success here at the start of the month. Has finished out of the places just once in 11 starts here now (won C&D handicap at this meeting last year) but 8 lb rise could anchor him.

Form: 3-42251

Dindin^b,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 92

Kept busy and scored by a wide margin at Warwick in September. Rather hit-and-miss since, not getting home under an aggressive ride in the race won by En Coeur here 16 days ago. Drops in trip now.

Form: 473256

Ben Brody^b¹⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-13| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 90

Winning hurdler/chaser who failed to come on for return switched back to fences at Hereford a fortnight ago but is on a very dangerous mark if finding his form again.

Form: 2545-B6

Shaw's Cross¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: Aaron Anderson| T: P Henderson| OR: 83| BF

Continues in good form, splitting a handicap blot and next-time-out winner here last month before a fair run from a poor position at Hereford. One to consider.

Form: 24-2224

Templier^p,t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Jay Tidball⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 82| C

Successful at Warwick (extended 2m) a year ago but failed to build on reappearance for new yard back at that track 18 days ago. Another who figures on a good mark if reviving.

Form: 4138-4P

Clondaw Robin^p¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: A Irvine| OR: 70

Yet to score over fences but placed again from out of the weights behind En Coeur here 16 days ago.

Form: 33F/043

Forecasts

En Coeur (11/8), Dame du Soir (5/2), Shaw's Cross (5/1), Templier (10/1), Sabbathical (14/1), Dindin (16/1), Clondaw Robin (25/1), Johnny Mac (33/1), Ben Brody (33/1)

DAME DU SOIR remains favourably handicapped (has been competitive off marks in the 120s) and she's taken to resume winning ways down in trip/grade. Veteran Ben Brody could be interesting back in trip, while Shaw's Cross deserves a change of luck. En Coeur has finished out of the places just once from 11 visits to Plumpton but has an 8 lb rise to overcome for his latest victory here.
