15/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (9.1f, good to soft) 66 days ago, sticking to task. Makes tapeta debut. One to consider.

4/1

3-time C&D winner. 18/1, last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Likely to be back on his game if he breaks on terms.

28/1

3-time C&D winner. 22/1, tailed-off last of 11 to Miss Bluebelle in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm), possibly amiss. Return to AW should help after a 3-month break.

16/1

Winner at Windsor in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 63 days ago, very slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Others make more appeal.

King's Code²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: P D Evans| OR: 83| CD

7/1

Latest win here in October. 17/2, last of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, heavy) 21 days ago, reportedly bled. Had been in top form prior to that, so not one to rule out.

Form: 713110

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 11/4) 11 days ago. Another bold showing seems likely.

Miss Bluebelle^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 79| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in August. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 6/1) 19 days ago. Return to this trip should suit and she could be worth chancing.

Forecasts

Urban Sprawl (7/2), Civil Law (4/1), Miss Bluebelle (11/2), King's Code (7/1), Master Of Combat (7/1), Island Bandit (7/1), Great Max (15/2), Hartswood (12/1), Spirit Genie (14/1), High Spirited (16/1), Precision Storm (28/1), Southern Voyage (33/1), Throne Hall (40/1)

SPIRIT GENIE arrives on the up and, having just been denied in a more competitive event than this at Newmarket, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Master of Combat, who is also bang in form. Miss Bluebelle is another one to consider dropping back to a more suitable trip.
