God Of Thunder¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| CD

6/4

Finally opened his account in good style on return from 6 months off in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (9/2) 12 days ago. 7 lb rise to contend with but may well kick on now up and running.

Form: 35-3221

Pour Me A Drink³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 75

125/1

200/1, given a considerate reappearance having missed the best part of 3 years when eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 33 days ago.

Form: 49160/8

Sucellus^t¹¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: George Rooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 74| C

9/2

Course winner. Ran no sort of race when last of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 28/1) back in August. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 1-47970

Zhang Fei^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joshua Bryan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 72

66/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. 22/1, shaped as if needing the run in first-time hood on first outing since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole (£21,000) after 7 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago.

Form: 633-920

Miss Dynamic²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: C Johnston| OR: 75

50/1

Lightly-raced winner. 18/1, might have needed the run after 14 months off when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Kempton (11f) 4 weeks ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind if she's to be competitive.

Form: 913-9

Waterloo Sunset⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Pearson| T: D J Coakley| OR: 69| D

4/1

17/2, bounced back to his best to win for just the second time in 13-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 40 days ago. Remains fairly lightly raced for his age and could have more to offer with that in mind.

Form: 242421

Le Rouge Chinois²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

10/1

Failed to build on the promise stable debut having been easy to back up in grade when fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 7/1) 23 days ago, off bridle a long way out. More required.

Form: 0-15534

Sea Of Charm^v1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 62

28/1

Eighteen runs since sole win in 2021. 12/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time and worth a second look having dropped to a handy mark.

Form: 246279

Polar Princess¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Gilligan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 65

40/1

Unable to land a blow making handicap debut after 3 months off when down the field at Newcastle (12.4f) 17 days ago, missing break. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 42489

(5)

My Harrison George²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65| BF

4/1

9/4, took a step forward when second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 27 days ago, edged out post. Up in trip. Ought to be winning races this winter, so not taken lightly.

Form: 0-85532

Forecasts

God Of Thunder (6/4), My Harrison George (4/1), Waterloo Sunset (4/1), Sucellus (9/2), Le Rouge Chinois (10/1), Sea Of Charm (28/1), Red Force One (33/1), Polar Princess (40/1), Miss Dynamic (50/1), Zhang Fei (66/1), Pour Me A Drink (125/1)

This can go the way of GOD OF THUNDER, who finally opened his account in good style returning from 6 months off over C&D recently and Richard Hannon's 4-y-o could well kick on now up and running. Waterloo Sunset was another last-time-out winner and, still fairly lightly raced for his age, he may emerge as the main danger, with My Harrison George and Sea of Charm also considered.
