Whatwouldyouknow^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 62| CD

13/2

Five-time C&D winner. 11/2, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 16 days ago, pushed out. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's one to consider.

Form: 8-20421

Harbour Vision^t,v²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Dixon| OR: 62| CD

7/1

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 29 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 837014

Waleyfa³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁷⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 60| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Fifth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely to get that here and has to enter calculations.

Form: 115725

Landlordtothestars⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 61

8/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 54 days ago. Up in trip and others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 127277

Olympic Quest¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 60

50/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 22/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip and this 3-y-o needs to raise her game.

Form: 234579

(9)

Weloof²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 57| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 22/1) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 325568

Ibiza Rocks^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 57| BF

3/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 2/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Enters calculations.

Form: 056367

Madam Macho²⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 59

66/1

Pulled up in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 22/1) when last seen 8 months ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 49569-P

(6)

Tilt At Windmills⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 58

40/1

Winner at Bath in October. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 3/1) 43 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 978417

(12)

Kingwell^t⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 54| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 15/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 103873

(5)

Gypsy Whisper³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 48

18/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 33 days ago. Couldn't be sure that she'll back that up but will be a threat if she does.

Forecasts

Ibiza Rocks (3/1), Kingwell (7/2), Whatwouldyouknow (13/2), Weloof (13/2), Harbour Vision (7/1), Waleyfa (15/2), Landlordtothestars (8/1), Gypsy Whisper (18/1), Tilt At Windmills (40/1), Olympic Quest (50/1), Ard Mhacha (50/1), Madam Macho (66/1)

The vote goes to IBIZA ROCKS, who has slipped to a potentially handy mark and wasn't seen to best effect under an inexperienced rider over this C&D 17 days ago. Waleyfa should get a decent pace to aim at here and, if so, she will be a threat, along with recent Newcastle winner Whatwouldyouknow. Kingwell is also worth a second look.
