Snow Berry^p⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| D

20/1

Unreliable sort. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in September. 40/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race.

Form: 121774

Havana Sky²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58| CD

9/4

C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (15/8) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago. Looks the one to beat in the hat-trick bid.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn| T: D Shaw| OR: 57

80/1

125/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Buraback^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 57| D

14/1

4 wins from 18 runs this year. 22/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Imola^b³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 55

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 14/1) 37 days ago, unable to sustain effort. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis.

Alshimali¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

7/2

Very good second of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. Merits plenty of respect in a race that lacks depth.

Form: 6-80562

(11)

Crocus Time⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 55

28/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy, 14/1) 61 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 257826

Supernova Steps¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 54| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Winner here in November. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Tricky draw to contend with but could get involved if things drop right.

Form: 498194

Pinpoint³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 54

50/1

18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 33 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 52| D

33/1

10/3, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 44 days ago. Back up in trip. Has fallen to a workable mark but not threatening to capitalise.

Forecasts

Havana Sky (9/4), Captain Vallo (10/3), Alshimali (7/2), Supernova Steps (4/1), Buraback (14/1), Imola (20/1), Snow Berry (20/1), Crocus Time (28/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (33/1), Pinpoint (50/1), Posh Maisie (66/1), Kipp Kelly (80/1)

HAVANA SKY is going the right way all of a sudden and did well to get up from an unpromising position at Lingfield last month, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick, with Captain Vallo striking as the main danger ahead of Alshimali.
