6/1

C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 7/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (12f) 21 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Throubi⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in minor event at this course (8f, 2/1) 77 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Longer trip should suit on handicap debut and merits consideration.

Form: 54/53-

4/1

Latest win at Newcastle in September. 11/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap over C&D in October. Remains fairly treated and another bold bid is on the cards.

12/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 57 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Hood on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

16/1

Back from 6 months off when good fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) over C&D 21 days ago, left with lot to do. Claims if building on that.

Hotaugustnight²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K P De Foy| OR: 64

25/1

First run since leaving J. A. Stack when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 25043-7

Forecasts

Eleanor Cross (13/8), Fleur De Mer (4/1), Suffrajet (6/1), Throubi (7/1), Avon Light (9/1), Silver Nightfall (12/1), Moonlit Cloud (16/1), Hotaugustnight (25/1), Bloomwithgrace (33/1), Lovealot Bear (40/1)

FLEUR DE MER has done little wrong since switched to handicap company and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Throubi and Avon Light head the list of dangers.
