Man On A Mission¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 61| D

17/2

7/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f). Off 119 days and this is a slight drop in class so not out of this if he's been freshened up by a break.

Form: 330246

Sankari^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jack Jones| OR: 60| D

3/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 16/1) 34 days ago. Tumbling in the weights and cheekpieces could galvanise him.

Form: 080887

World Of Darcy^v³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Pearson| T: J Ryan| OR: 60| D

20/1

Tumbling in the weights without remotely looking ready to cash in, 66/1 when last of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 35 days ago. Down further in class but easy to have reservations.

Form: 700898

Spanish Angel²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 58| D

10/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (5f) 20 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but others still more persuasive.

The Defiant^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 57| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Last of 4 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Eased further 2 lb and he's very dangerous if ridden with more restraint.

Form: 832624

Bankrupt¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 57| D

10/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 50/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and was prolific on the AW to end 2023 but need to see more spark.

Form: 5-80009

Lady Nagin^h⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 55| D

66/1

Latest win at Lingfield in May. 40/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 64 days ago. Can make presence felt returned to the AW.

Form: 671860

Lion Ring⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 45| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Two wins from 47 Flat runs. 11/1, won 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 9 days ago. Carries penalty, which may anchor him.

Form: 290931

Hi Hoh Tonto¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Crawley| OR: 45

17/2

Unreliable type. 10/1, first run since leaving Colin Teague when bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 18 days ago.

Form: 85D903

Belvoir Kitten¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

100/1

25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago.

Forecasts

Sankari (3/1), The Defiant (7/2), Agostino (5/1), Lion Ring (6/1), Thismydream (15/2), Hi Hoh Tonto (17/2), Man On A Mission (17/2), Spanish Angel (10/1), Bankrupt (10/1), World Of Darcy (20/1), Lady Nagin (66/1), Belvoir Kitten (100/1)

Hard to make a compelling case for any of these but stall 1 and this sharp 5f is probably just what THE DEFIANT needs so he gets the tentative nod. Thismydream is more likely than most to give his running, with Man On A Mission another to consider back from a break.
