Fast Fred¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 64| D

11/4

Gained breakthrough success at Redcar (10f) and made light work of following up under a penalty in 9-runner handicap (13/8) at Southwell (12.1f) 15 days ago. Merits serious consideration again in hat-trick bid.

Laudable^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 63| D

4/1

3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in September. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 25 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 124222

Dundory³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 62| D

40/1

Last win came at Doncaster (11.9f) in spring of last year but more miss than hit on the Flat this time around. Better effort when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 5 weeks ago and switched yards ahead of this. Market can prove a useful guide.

Carlos Felix¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: A Elliott| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 62| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) in June, ridden 3f out and never involved. Return to all-weather needs to have positive effect back from a break.

Form: 718-666

20/1

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 49| D

80/1

Unreliable individual. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (80/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this should reveal more.

Form: 6-43959

FAST FRED has picked up the progressive thread since switched to handicaps, following up his breakthrough success in comfortable fashion at Southwell (12.1f) 2 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip, he's very much of interest again from his revised mark and earns the vote. Humble Spark, back down markedly in class, Oriental Art and Laudable head up the dangers.
