8/1

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 17/2) 16 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Mark has eased further but he needs to show more encouraging signs before becoming of interest again.

Glitterella⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: C G Cox| OR: 68

12/1

Went close in handicaps at Haydock/Bath during the summer. Subsequent runs have been below that level, latterly when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 52 days ago. However, she's not one to be giving up on from sliding mark.

Shalaa Asker^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: C Wallis| OR: 67| CD

18/1

C&D winner. 28/1, first run since leaving Adrian Keatley when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, never better than midfield. Drawn wider than ideal on thi occasion and others appeal more.

Form: 703450

Hiatus¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: C Allen| OR: 67| D

3/1

Good fourth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago, ridden home turn and late headway. Returns to sprinting operating 2 lb below last winning mark and he's not out of things.

12/1

Winner at Lingfield in June. 5/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago, the step up in trip possibly stretching her. Makes polytrack debut.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 59| CD

6/1

4-time course winner, the latest over C&D in October. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago, outpaced over 1f out before keeping on. One to consider with a repeat.

Forecasts

Hiatus (3/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (6/1), Lion Ring (6/1), Asadjumeirah (15/2), Merrimack (8/1), Harry Brown (8/1), Eldeyaar (11/1), Shibuya Storm (12/1), Glitterella (12/1), Royal Parade (12/1), Shalaa Asker (18/1), Little Miss Magic (20/1), Gaiety Musical (25/1)

Loads in with a shout and with that in mind it could be worth chancing LION RING following his recent return to form, Hiatus and Merrimack head up the dangers, with Glitterella another not dismissed out of hand.
