Wee Fat Mac^t⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 9/1) 64 days ago. Not out of things from this sort of mark back on all weather.

Jamie Bond²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR: 62| D

14/1

All the better for reappearance run when fourth at Catterick (5f) in August but ran poorly both starts since, always behind when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Show Me Show Me^v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, no extra last ½f. Comes here lurking on a handy mark if he can build on that effort.

Caesars Pearl^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 59

12/1

Pleasing effort returning from 5 months off when third at Southwell (6f) last month but underwhelming display in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/1) 29 days ago. Returns to the minimum trip now.

Phoenix Star^p⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 56| CD

9/1

5-time C&D winner. 17/2, shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 46 days ago. Now below last winning mark.

Borough³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| D

50/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Wee Fat Mac.

Oriental Prince^h1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fared better than previously when runner-up over 6f here in October and proved too free when fifth of 10 in handicap back here (6f) 11 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing with a 1st time hood now reached for.

Henery Hawk⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 50| CD

12/1

3-time C&D winner. 16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 76 days ago, never competitive after a typically sluggish start. Others appeal more for win purposes on balance.

Form: 876477

Doon The Glen^v¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

25/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June. Each-way claims from his basement mark if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Form: 524273

Lady Of The Garr⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 48

22/1

Remains a maiden after 15 starts but turned in another creditable display when third in 9-runner C&D handicap in September, that despite blindfold being removed late. Needs considering back from 96 days off.

Pockley³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 47| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Produced best effort for some time when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, nearest finish. Has tumbled down the weights this year and he's worthy of consideration on the back of that.

Forecasts

Wee Fat Mac (3/1), Oriental Prince (7/2), Pockley (9/2), Recon Mission (5/1), Show Me Show Me (6/1), Phoenix Star (9/1), Caesars Pearl (12/1), Henery Hawk (12/1), Jamie Bond (14/1), Lady Of The Garr (22/1), Doon The Glen (25/1), Borough (50/1)

POCKLEY ran his best race for a while when finishing fifth in a C&D handicap 39 days ago and in the hope he can use that as a platform to build upon, he looks too well handicapped to ignore. Wee Fat Mac, Oriental Prince and Recon Mission are others to consider, along with Lady of The Garr.
