12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 7/1). Off 177 days. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to strip fitter for this return, so others are more appealing.

Form: 056-97

Golden Moon^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 60

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 66/1) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Hooflepuff (9/4), Royal Dream (4/1), Ciotog (4/1), Eagle Eyed Tom (7/1), Snooze Lane (7/1), Fully Deployed (12/1), Global Warning (14/1), Golden Moon (20/1), Abnaa (33/1)

CIOTOG usually runs well here, so he's worth taking a chance on from a reduced mark. The in-form Hooflepuff is a danger and Snooze Lane should be back on his game.
