Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 70

13/2

Produced a promising effort when third on 1m Nottingham debut in October but disappointed on both subsequent outings on the all-weather. Has since switched yards (28,000 gns) ahead of this handicap bow and first-time cheekpieces are applied.

9/4

Looks to have been brought along gradually, third of 7 in a novice at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen 3 months ago. Makes handicap/turf debut and he could take a significant step forward (also gelded).

Form: 83-3

Amancio¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 65

5/2

Going through a good spell at present, seeing out the trip quite well in the circumstances when third of 8 at Windsor (8.1f, good) 12 days ago. One to consider from a career-low mark.

Form: 25-2433

Due Consideration⁴⁸

15/2

Winner at Musselburgh (1m) in September. Runner-up on AW next 2 starts and good claims if he can shrug off a shocker at Southwell (8.1f) just under 7 weeks ago.

Form: 2212-20

Quick Away⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 59

14/1

Showed improved form back up in trip when runner-up in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 weeks ago, helped by the way things developed under a canny front-running ride by her 7 lb claimer. She's of interest in this line-up.

Form: 666-472

Northern Cracksman^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: B Ellison| OR: 53

7/2

Took a small step forward sporting first-time blinkers when finishing runner-up in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f, 4/1) 19 days ago, no extra late on having been a shade keen in early stages. More severe headgear enlisted and he looks sure to go close.

Form: 60-3432

Forecasts

Minstrel Knight (9/4), Amancio (5/2), Northern Cracksman (7/2), Havanarama (4/1), Frightening (13/2), Due Consideration (15/2), Quick Away (14/1)

NORTHERN CRACKSMAN was a touch keener than ideal when finishing runner-up at Newcastle earlier this month so, with more severe headgear enlisted, Brian Ellison's charge is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Quick Away, who showed improved form under a canny front-running ride when second last time and looks sure to be in the mix again. Amancio and Due Consideration can do battle for third.
