14/1

15/2, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 173 days. Back up in trip on debut for new yard and he's not without hope.

Form: 243555-

Busby^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63

7/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 3009-32

(11)

Bulls Aye^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

16/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in October. 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations.

Form: 85351-7

Midnight Lion^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

15/2

One win from 3 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (16.2f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and while he would have a serious chance off this reduced mark if able to get back on track, others make more appeal.

Form: 8-06875

Dougies Dream^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 60| C

11/2

Course winner. 13/2, third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and he has to feature on the shortlist off this 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 1600-03

(9)

Indication Rocket^t²⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Enright⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 58| C

11/1

Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (12.4f) when last seen 6 months ago. Remains 3 lb above winning mark here last spring and looks vulnerable.

Form: 513356-

We Still Believe³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: D Bourke| OR: 58| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in September. 11/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, no match for winner. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 71459-2

Golden Echo²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 55

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden at this course (8f, 100/1) 24 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and she needs to raise her game.

Form: 454

Mr Heinz¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: S Whitaker| OR: 52| C

15/2

Course winner. Winner here in October. 5/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f), needing stiffer test. Off 150 days and steps back up in trip. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 369124-

Ana Emaraaty¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| C

10/1

Course winner. Winner here in March. 33/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip and shouldn't be too far away.

Form: 5-52195

(7)

Mr Coco Bean^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Helen Cuthbert| OR: 45| D

28/1

Forty one runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in minor event (15/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, not much room. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 754635

(2)

Scarriff¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 45

150/1

22/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when last of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago, lost all chance at start. Up in trip. Readily passed over.

Form: 90456/0

Forecasts

Busby (7/2), We Still Believe (5/1), Dougies Dream (11/2), Midnight Lion (15/2), Mr Heinz (15/2), Ana Emaraaty (10/1), Indication Rocket (11/1), Golden Echo (12/1), Moush (14/1), Bulls Aye (16/1), Mr Coco Bean (28/1), Scarriff (150/1)

The vote goes to DOUGIES DREAM, who posted his best effort for a while when third over a mile here three weeks ago and he may well exploit this reduced mark now stepping back up in trip. We Still Believe was fit from hurdles when a good second over this C&D and he has to be feared, while Moush will be a player if fully tuned-up and Bulls Aye is also capable of a bold show.
