Daheer^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 76| C

22/1

Fvie-time course winner but he came in last of 8 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Thirteen runs since his last win in 2022, too.

Form: 326458

Suffrajet²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: C Lee| T: C Johnston| OR: 76

9/2

Off 10 months before resuming winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. That form has been franked so she merits serious consideration despite taking a 2 lb rise.

Form: 3644-61

Western Stars⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 75

2/1

Gained his third win in 2m handicap at Lingfield (AW) 6 days ago before posting a good second at Southwell four days ago. Expected to be bang there once again off the same mark.

Form: 165812

Glory Nights⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Finley Marsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 74| C

11/1

Course winner in October. Only eleventh of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (11f) 48 days ago though so needs to bounce back.

Form: 809120

Percy Willis^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 72| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks competitive on form off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 522955

Silver Nightfall^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 74| D

25/1

3 wins from 11 runs this year, latest at Kempton in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip with more required.

Form: 431466

Amazing^h1¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 70

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden and off 6 months since posting a very good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm). Goes up in trip and well worth considering in a first-time hood.

Form: 95-332

(5)

Stray Bullet^t⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Enright⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 70

80/1

A fair ex-French 9f winner in May but pulled up for his new yard in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow 47 days ago. Still much respected back in this sphere on his handicap debut.

Form: 601122

Sea Of Charm^v²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 65| CD

25/1

28/1 and visored for 1st time, ended a long losing run in 10-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Can give another good account off a 3 lb higher mark with the headgear again sported.

Form: 462791

(8)

Swift Tuttle^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 64

80/1

In winning form over hurdles but only eighth of 9 in handicap here (14f) 31 days ago. Can make his presence felt if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 823478

(10)

Sea Of Elegance¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: T Ward| OR: 63

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1) 111 days ago. Significantly up in trip for her tapeta debut with something to find on form.

Form: 5-8548

(1)

Peripeteia²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 58| CD

66/1

C&D winner in October but she found her run of good form halted when ninth of 11 in handicap here (14f) 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 813229

Forecasts

Western Stars (2/1), Amazing (5/2), Suffrajet (9/2), Percy Willis (8/1), Glory Nights (11/1), Sea Of Elegance (14/1), Daheer (22/1), Sea Of Charm (25/1), Silver Nightfall (25/1), Peripeteia (66/1), Stray Bullet (80/1), Swift Tuttle (80/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. SUFFRAJET made light of an absence when going in at Kempton and with that form working out well then Charlie Johnston's low-mileage daughter of Golden Horn is fancied to strike again. Western Stars arrives at the top of his game and is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for C&D winner Percy Willis and the returning Amazing.
