20/1
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.

4/1
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.

5/2
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.

18/1
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.

11/2
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.

25/1
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.

17/2
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)

Verdict

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.

  1. Thank The Lord11/2
  2. Northcliff5/2
  3. Come On Girl17/2
