Off the mark in Huntingdon handicap chase (24f) at end of 2022 and shaped as if better for run, back from 11 months off, when respectable third of 7 at Doncaster (24f, good, 11/4) 59 days ago. Likely contender.
|
Modest winner at 26f over hurdles but yet to make an impact in a couple of attempts in this sphere and is now tried in blinkers.
|
Bounced back to form when doubling her career tally in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f) in May but made a discouraging start over fences at Fakenham last month, jumping none too fluently.
|
Largely consistent in defeat for John Groucott last term and made the frame in first 2 starts for current connections (at up to 23.8f). Latest run can be excused (bad mistake 4 out) and ought to make presence felt.
|
In good form last spring, scoring at Chepstow (26.3f) and Huntingdon (23.6f). Well behind when unseating at Fontwell when last seen in May but had a break since and returns on a workable mark.
|
Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicaps at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.8f) in September. Mixed bag since but her latest Wincanton second was a solid display. Claims with a repeat.
|
Did the job well when doubling his tally at Leicester (22.7f) last winter but rather gone backwards since and has finished well held in a couple of outings here this term. Wears first-time blinkers.
|
Point winner who has bettered his bumper/hurdles form tackling fences, making the frame on several occasions. Needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Ludlow last time, though.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who has fared better in handicaps, twice a runner-up over hurdles prior to a good third over fences at Uttoxeter in October of 2022. Failed to justify support, back from lengthy absence, at Wincanton last month but warrants respect nonetheless. 1 lb out of the weights.
|
Got off the mark over fences at Uttoxeter (24f) in summer of 2021 but has clearly had his problems since, restricted to just 5 runs and making little impact. Remains hard to recommend. 3 lb out of the handicap.
|
Barely threatened in a handful of outings over fences and is best watched from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts
Ya Know Yaseff (4/1), Lindisfarne (9/2), Deadly Missile (5/1), Crystal Moon (11/2), On The Platform (15/2), Fine By Her (10/1), Glance From Clover (11/1), The Boat (14/1), Doyens De Ante (22/1), Enforcement (25/1), Noah's Light (28/1)
CRYSTAL MOON is still low mileage over fences and should be straighter for his Doncaster return. He gets the nod. Ya Know Yaseff and Doyens de Ante rate the principal dangers.
- Crystal Moon11/2
- Doyens De Ante22/1
