Lesrico^h¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: L Williamson| OR: 72

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded first time, fifth of 12 in maiden (200/1) at Carlisle (9f, soft) when last seen in June. Makes handicap debut after 6 months off from a mark which demands improvement.

Summa Peto^p¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: George Buckell⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| D

100/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, last of 13 over C&D when last seen in July. A 135-day break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Form: 05-5070

Educate³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 73| D

40/1

AW winner for the Gosden stable but no show in 4 outings for current yard. The stable has more obvious contenders elsewhere.

Royal Blaze⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 70

25/1

Fair performer on turf for Marcus Tregoning. Drops back in trip now switching to AW for new stable. One to note in the betting.

Barleybrown³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67| BF| CD

13/2

Four C&D wins this year, the latest in October. 5/2, creditable 2¾ lengths third of 10 to Jewel Maker over C&D 32 days ago, left with too much to do. Has good chance on form.

Form: 913123

Wyvern^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 62| CD

16/1

4/1, won 7-runner handicap at this C&D 23 days ago by nose from Jewel Maker, getting first run. Should remain competitive up 3 lb.

Form: 008341

(2)

Tasever^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 62| CD

7/1

On a hat-trick after a pair of C&D wins. Hit with a 9 lb rise after doing it easily last time but can't be discounted in his current mood.

Form: 836211

(5)

Ayr Poet^p³³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 61| D

66/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in October. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft, 12/1) 33 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Quiet Resolve (6/4), Equion (6/1), Jewel Maker (6/1), Barleybrown (13/2), Tasever (7/1), Drumstick (17/2), Wyvern (16/1), Royal Blaze (25/1), Educate (40/1), Lesrico (66/1), Ayr Poet (66/1), Summa Peto (100/1)

This looks competitive for the grade. JEWEL MAKER was probably a little unlucky not to win again here last time and is narrowly preferred to C&D specialist Barleybrown. Quiet Resolve and Equion complete the shortlist.
