Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 84| C| D

18/1

Course winner. Got back on track in a change of headgear returned to all-weather when fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

True Promise¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 83| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 4 wins from 11 runs this year, latest here in November. Wasted no time getting back to form when ½-length third of 13 to Alfa Whiteburd in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 12 days ago.

The Green Man^p⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D Brooke| OR: 82| D

50/1

66/1, tailed-off last of 21 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 10 weeks ago, hampered before halfway and shuffled back. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Parr and it's hard to know what ability he retains.

Form: 380-500

Cajetan^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 82| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 13/2, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 39 days ago, no extra final 1f.

Royal Pleasure^t²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 79| D

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Failed to build on the promise of his eye-catching Thirsk run when eighth of 21 in handicap (9/1) at York (6f, good) 7 months ago, very slowly away. No doubt he's well treated but he's not a straightforward betting proposition.

Form: 6770-48

Lakota Blue^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: Roger Fell| OR: 79| D

13/2

Looked a hard ride in first-time hood on first run since leaving Nigel Tinkler when 2½ lengths seventh of 13 to Alfa Whiteburd in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 12 days ago, carrying head awkwardly.

Form: 053-407

Fiscal Policy⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 9 runs this year, latest at Wolverhampton in November. 4/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago, no extra last ½f. Bounce back required.

Form: 155116

Mondammej⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 76| BF| CD

9/4

Dual recent C&D winner. Went down narrowly in pursuit of his hat-trick when second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at this course (5f) 4 days ago, just failing. Clealry still thriving, so can regain the winning thread.

Forecasts

Mondammej (9/4), Cajetan (10/3), True Promise (7/2), Alfa Whiteburd (4/1), Lakota Blue (13/2), Fiscal Policy (7/1), Rhythm N Hooves (18/1), Royal Pleasure (22/1), The Green Man (50/1)

An open-looking sprint but MONDAMMEJ went down narrowly in pursuit of a C&D hat-trick on Tuesday and, clearly still thriving. Antony Britain's 7-y-o can regain the winning thread at the expense of Rhythm N Hooves, who got back on track in a change of headgear at Wolverhampton recently and could well build on that. Royal Pleasure was a big eye catcher on yard debut at Thirsk back in the spring, so he can edge out True Promise for third.
