6/1

Winner at Epsom in August and landed a third C&D win when seeing off 11 rivals 23 days ago. Had a bit in hand so should still remain very competitive after a 5 lb rise.

Leap Abroad^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: P & O Cole| OR: 80| D

Clipsham La Habana⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: K P De Foy| OR: 79| D

4/1

Two AW wins at the end of 2022. Three good placed efforts on turf this summer but not at best in recent stats. Bounce back needed.

Form: 822306

The Waiting Game¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: Jack Jones| OR: 78| D

5/2

A revelation dropped to 6f, winning 54 in a row on AW between August and October. Winning run came to a halt at Chelmsford last time but he had an excuse (poorly positioned). Well drawn to attack here.

Crimson Angel³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Oliver Timms⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 78

7/1

Won maiden/novice events over 5f on AW at the start of the year. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 32 days ago, running on. Unexposed sort who could have more to offer.

Form: 4-1106

(3)

She's Centimental^h¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 77| CD

18/1

Dual C&D winner at the start of her career but has disappointed more recently. Mark on the slide but she's a hard one to be confident about.

Form: 1-10508

(7)

Maysan¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 74

18/1

Winner on turf at Lyon in June. Much better effort for new stable when third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Claims if she can build on that now.

Form: 42-6103

(6)

Flag Flying^e/c,t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74| D

66/1

Has struggled in 4 handicap runs this year. Mark on the slide but can only watch for now.

Form: 58-0068

Forecasts

The Waiting Game (5/2), Dickieburd (7/2), Clipsham La Habana (4/1), Muscika (6/1), Crimson Angel (7/1), Leap Abroad (10/1), Maysan (18/1), She's Centimental (18/1), Flag Flying (66/1)

A poor draw ended THE WAITING GAME's winning run a fortnight ago but she has an inside berth this time and might be able to show she's still on a good mark. The main threat may come from the 3-y-os, with Dickieburd, another who is handily drawn, second choice ahead of Crimson Angel and Maysan.
