11/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and could take a hand off this reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward.

The Princes Poet¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 64| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Latest win at Kempton in October. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) when last seen in December. Goes well fresh and should have a part to play.

Kyber Crystal¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 63

33/1

Sixth of 8 in minor event (14/1) at Southwell (5f), slowly away. Off 159 days and back up in trip here. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 462576-

Kondratiev Wave^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

9/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Down to an attractive mark but others are more convincing overall.

Form: 389-569

Joy Choi⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M S Saunders| OR: 60| D

9/2

Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 20/1) 5 days ago and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 7/4540-6

Connie's Rose¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 58| D

4/1

Good fourth of 17 in handicap (25/1) at Bath (5f, soft) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Return to this trip no bad thing (same goes for the forecast better ground) and she's a key player.

Form: 33759-4

Big Bard^p⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 58| D

5/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 54 days ago, not knocked about. Went close off a 5 lb higher mark here in October, so couldn't rule out. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 7366-62

(11)

Firenze Rosa¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 55| C| D

28/1

Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good to soft, 12/1) in October. Headgear left off ahead of return and others make more appeal.

Form: 541500-

Dazzerling^p¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 52

50/1

Last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 50/1) on latest start in December. Placed twice off higher marks than this on turf in 2022 and possibilities if on-song back from a break.

Form: 834209-

On Edge^p¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 52| D

12/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f), left with too much to do. Off 146 days and will probably find a few too strong here.

Form: 613539-

(16)

Hannah's Return⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 50| D

10/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Kempton (6f) 40 days ago, driven out. Nudged up just 1 lb and she should be in the thick of things if proving equally effective on turf.

Form: 41-9551

(12)

Soldier's Son^p,t¹⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 45

33/1

Remains a maiden after 33 Flat runs. 25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 6 months and he's passed over.

Forecasts

Connie's Rose (4/1), Joy Choi (9/2), Kondratiev Wave (9/2), Big Bard (5/1), The Princes Poet (6/1), Hannah's Return (10/1), Spirit Of Cahala (10/1), Rogue Star (11/1), On Edge (12/1), The Cola Kid (14/1), Port Noir (20/1), Firenze Rosa (28/1), Soldier's Son (33/1), Kyber Crystal (33/1), Dazzerling (50/1), Tridevi (125/1)

CONNIE'S ROSE made an encouraging seasonal reappearance at Bath earlier this month and, entitled to come on for that, she could be the answer. Provided she takes to turf, dual all-weather scorer Hannah's Return will be a live danger, while The Princes Poet performed well on his return both last year and in 2021, and he is likely to be in the mix, too. Another for the shortlist is Big Bard, who has slipped to a dangerous mark.
