Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 74

7/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who has made the frame on 4 occasions on Flat since June. Not seen to best effect in class 2 handicap at Kempton (11f) 3 weeks ago and this is much easier.

Outgun⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 74

9/2

Career-best effort when finally off the mark at Kempton (12f) in September but well held when twelfth of 13 in handicap back at that track/trip 6 weeks ago. Type to bounce back upped in trip.

9/2

Course winner. 4/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 14 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Not one to write off back at this slightly longer trip.

Banderas⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 74

33/1

Chester maiden winner (12.3f) at 3 yrs and plenty of solid efforts upon returning in the spring. However, ended time with Michael Bell on the back of a couple of low-key efforts and yard switch needs to have perked him up.

Form: 303504

Optician^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Lycett| OR: 73| C

14/1

4-time course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 15/2) 19 days ago, not quicken. Mark is steadily easing but he doesn't appear to be operating at the top of his game at present.

Haliphon^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| D

16/1

Latest win at Haydock (11.6f) in September. 20/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 46 days ago, no extra last ½f. Comes here operating 3 lb above last winning mark and others appeal more for win purposes.

Sun Dancer Girl¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| D

12/1

Improving filly who scored 3 times earlier this year and showed benefit of a recent run when winning 6-runner handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 10 days ago, readily. Has to be taken seriously stepping back up in trip.

Form: 141171

Eagle's Realm^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 66| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 5/1) 7 days ago, needing the emphasis more on stamina. This test more up his street and he's an each-way player for all he remains 3 lb above his last winning mark.

Forecasts

Percy Jones (2/1), Outgun (9/2), Sax Appeal (9/2), Two Auld Pals (11/2), Parramount (7/1), D Day Arvalenreeva (11/1), Sun Dancer Girl (12/1), Optician (14/1), Haliphon (16/1), Eagle's Realm (18/1), Banderas (33/1)

SUN DANCER GIRL showed the benefit of a recent run when resuming progress to score at Lingfield 10 days ago. Still unexposed at this sort of trip, she makes plenty of appeal again with further improvement not out of the question. Parramount hasn't had things go his way of late and a better showing can be anticipated. Recent course winner Percy Jones and Two Auld Pals are others to consider.
