Agostino²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 65| BF| D

7/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in October and shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 4/1) 23 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 570126

Recon Mission²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

17/2

Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 12/1) 23 days ago. Good chance of going one better if turning up in similar form.

So Obsessed²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 62| CD

25/1

C&D winner who probably needed the run after 4 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter here.

20/1

C&D winner who had excuses when fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 12/1) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 581345

Beauzon^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62| C| D

7/1

Recorded a seventh course success in 11-runner handicap (6.1f) 26 days ago, doing well under the circumstances. Cheekpieces back on and retains plenty of scope on old form.

Lion Ring⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 58| D

11/1

4 wins from 17 runs this year, latest at Chelmsford City in October. 6/1, failed to build on promise of last run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago.

Form: 191055

Forecasts

Nelson Gay (3/1), Classy Clarets (11/2), Pop Dancer (6/1), Beauzon (7/1), Agostino (7/1), Recon Mission (17/2), Lion Ring (11/1), Gustav Graves (11/1), Papa Don't Preach (20/1), So Obsessed (25/1)

BEAUZON did well to come out on top having always been up with a strong pace at this course last month and remains well treated on old form following a token rise in the weights, so he's the percentage call to follow up. Recon Mission and Agostino head the dangers.
