15/2
Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford (10f) 23 days ago, keeping on straight. This even longer trip worth exploring on that evidence.

3/1
Confidently ridden when resuming winning ways at Limerick (11.3f) in June. Rise in weights seemed to catch him out thereafter but he's not discounted starting out for new yard, with rider taking off a handy 3 lb.

6/1
3-time C&D winner who matched the form of her reappearance effort when creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 33/1) 9 days ago. Now operating just 1 lb above last winning mark.

13/2
Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago, labouring around 3f out and dropping away. Marked step up in trip needs to have positive effect here with blinkers again the headgear of choice.

12/1
Maiden who returned to form following a break when fourth at Kempton (12f) in August. Disappointed over hurdles next time but latest run back on the level probably best overlooked having done plenty on the front end. Blinkers quickly discarded and bounce back not ruled out.

12/1
Shed maiden tag at Chelmsford (13.3f) in April. 25/1, easily best effort for present yard when third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 36 days ago, running on. Not out of things if backing that up again partnered by Billy Loughnane.

7/1
Remains a maiden after 15 starts but she did run her best race for present yard when fourth in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, making late headway. Needs to build on that effort now.

11/2
Visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, soft, 14/1) 67 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ian McInnes and market support would be interesting operating from this basement mark.

Unreliable type. One win from 32 Flat runs. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 25/1) 90 days ago. Poor on last Flat run.

20/1
Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 52 days ago, racing well off the pace and making no impression. Switch back to AW needs to have positive effect here.

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Kempton (12f) 52 days ago. Much more needed if he's to figure making tapeta debut.

Forecasts

Bear Claws (3/1), Crossbeau (11/2), Jenny Ren (6/1), Stormy Denise (13/2), Duchess (7/1), Velvet Vulcan (15/2), Sexy Rexy (12/1), Hill Station (12/1), Star Turn (12/1), Chelsea Annie (20/1), Take My Breath (66/1), Seaborough (66/1)

Verdict

A trappy opener with the vote in favour of BEAR CLAWS. A winner at Limerick in June, he lines up for his new yard having not been seen to anything like best effect at Tramore 24 days ago and he's capable of playing a lead role from this sort of mark. Sexy Rexy, following his latest C&D third, Jenny Ren and Velvet Vulcan head up the dangers.

  1. Bear Claws3/1
  2. Sexy Rexy12/1
  3. Jenny Ren6/1
