Crafter⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60| CD

6/5

C&D winner. Winner here in December. Very good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get back to winning ways if the pace is solid.

Form: 3012-63

Come On John⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 57 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has fallen to a workable mark and shouldn't be ruled out.

Form: 1687-55

Moon Over The Sea¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

11/2

Three wins from 13 runs last year. 7/2, back on track to land 8-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 09-3151

Portoro^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 55

12/1

16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 23 days ago. Hood back on. Has a fair bit to prove at present but still warrants a market check.

Form: 29758-9

Premiership²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher| T: M Wigham| OR: 54

40/1

Three wins from 6 runs last year. Last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 18138-0

Kingwell^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 54| CD

7/1

Course winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 24-4203

(9)

Prince Hector²⁵

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

10/1

C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. Winner here in December. 9/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Strong in the betting last time and isn't one to completely rule out.

Form: 4816-35

(6)

Vaudevillian²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

150/1

125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Form: 770-985

Forecasts

Crafter (6/5), Come On John (10/3), Moon Over The Sea (11/2), Kingwell (7/1), Prince Hector (10/1), Portoro (12/1), Chourmo (14/1), Premiership (40/1), Vaudevillian (150/1)

CRAFTER kept on well from an unpromising position when third over C&D last time and he should put up a bold showing provided the race is run to suit. Last-time-out winner Moon Over The Sea is a danger and Kingwell can't be ruled out.
