10/1

Latest win over 11f here in September and not seen to best effect when fifth of 12 in handicap back at this course (11.1f, 22/1) 14 days ago, Should give another good account down 1 lb.

Form: 683351

Fast Fred¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 54

13/8

More encouraging signs in handicaps and, well backed, posted a career-best effort when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 10 days ago. Well in here lining up under a penalty and obvious claims upped further in trip.

Form: 976631

Leap Year Lad¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 58

Swinging London^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 56

7/2

Sole success to date came over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2022 but ran one of better races for this yard when third of 9 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago, plugging on. Each-way claims if building on that now.

Stintino Sunset^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 56| BF

18/1

Back on the scoresheet at Windsor (11.5f) in September and typically gave her running again when runner-up in handicap back at that track/trip 24 days ago. Equally as effective on all-weather and likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 325412

Rogue Raider^b,h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 55

150/1

Offered very little all 3 starts upon joining present stable, left behind quickly when last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 28 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 534606

The Conqueror^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 48| D

16/1

13/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 244767

(9)

Lady Birdie^t⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 45

18/1

Made the frame on 3 of her 5 starts in handicaps but seemingly had every chance when only sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (14.1f) 6 weeks ago. Drop back in trip fine but she looks to have work to do, even from this lowly mark.

Forecasts

Fast Fred (13/8), Swinging London (7/2), Apache Canyon (7/2), The Bay Warrior (10/1), Leap Year Lad (12/1), The Conqueror (16/1), Mythical (16/1), Stintino Sunset (18/1), Lady Birdie (18/1), Rogue Raider (150/1)

FAST FRED showed much improved form when opening his account with ease at Redcar 10 days ago and,completely unexposed at this sort of trip, he makes plenty of appeal under a penalty. Fellow last-time-out winner Apache Canyon is next best. Stintino Sunset and The Bay Warrior complete the shortlist.
