Bristol Hill^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: K Frost| OR: 55

6/4

15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 10 days ago. Not the easiest of rides but undoubtedly lurking on a workable mark and well worth considering with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking.

Form: 946-763

Latest Edition³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55

18/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 39 days ago, dropping away over 1f out. Since changed hands for 2,500 gns and handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more.

Form: 6054-87

Mintnthat^p,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 54

16/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (8f) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine. Cheekpieces back on and worth considering in present groove for all he needs to prove himself at the trip.

Form: 966-711

Tigerten¹¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 54

25/1

Lost form last summer but eased in weights as a result and step back in right direction when third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f) in October. Not out of things back from a break. Yard also saddle Bristol Hill.

Recorwoman^t¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 54

25/1

Unreliable sort who capitalised on a falling mark in 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in July but ran below that level when seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f) in September. Others preferred.

Bond Spirit^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: L Allan| OR: 52| C

4/1

Course winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Not ruled out now back on last winning mark.

Form: 790-474

Prince Hector⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 52

9/2

One win from 23 Flat runs. 10/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 45 days ago, well positioned.

Sky Dancer¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M Crawley| OR: 52

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Tim Easterby when very good second of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. Has a race in her from this sort of mark on that evidence and worth a second look.

Form: 0690/2

Bletchley Storm¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Wigham| OR: 50

12/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 6959-40

(6)

Sociologist^b³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (14.1f) 35 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers back on.

Form: 8040-09

Tiger Touch¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

125/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 66/1) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Bristol Hill (6/4), Bond Spirit (4/1), Prince Hector (9/2), Sky Dancer (8/1), Bletchley Storm (12/1), Mintnthat (16/1), Sociologist (18/1), Latest Edition (18/1), Recorwoman (25/1), Tigerten (25/1), Still Standing (33/1), Tiger Touch (125/1)

BRISTOL HILL isn't the easiest of conveyances, but he comes here lurking on a handy mark and with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking, he could be ready to strike. Sky Dancer is less exposed than most and rates a threat along with the hat-trick seeking Mintnthat. Bond Spirit is another not out of things.
