33/1, shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Michael Appleby (9,000 gns) after 15 months off when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Worth noting should the market speak in his favour.
|
Latest win at Kempton in January. Easy-to-back 16/1, ran at least as well in defeat when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 4 weeks ago. Should go well again.
|
9/2, turned in a rare poor effort when last of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good), missing break. May need this returning from 6 months off.
|
Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 9/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) a couple of months ago. Down to a career-low mark and fancied to go close back sprinting.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, too free in a first-time tongue strap when eighth of 9 on handicap debut at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, slowly away. Big step forward required.
|
C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year, latest here in December. Never really travelling and always behind when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 13/2) 20 days ago. Down 2 lb and every chance he will bounce back returned to this track.
|
Fourteen runs since sole win in 2023. 11/4, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 11 days ago. Down to a career-low mark and must bounce back.
|
Course winner. Blew the start after just 2 days off when last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 6/1) 11 days ago. Risky betting proposition at present.
|
Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Can make presence felt.

Forecasts
Northcliff (5/2), Thismydream (3/1), First Company (4/1), Thank The Lord (11/2), Come On Girl (17/2), Hombre (18/1), Bora Bora (20/1), Josies Kid (25/1), Harry With Style (40/1)
An open-looking sprint in which the suggestion is THANK THE LORD, who needs to put a lesser effort behind him but had been in good form prior and goes particularly well at this track. Northcliff is a long-standing maiden, but he may emerge as the main danger back sprinting and with Jamie Spencer booked, with Come On Girl and First Company both not out of things, either.
