Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| C| D

13/8

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Attracted support and shaped well when third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there eased in class.

Em Jay Kay^p⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 66| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 44 days ago. Back up in trip and he's likely to give it another good go.

Classy Clarets^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 63| C

9/2

Hooded for first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5.1f, 11/2) 23 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid back up in trip.

12/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 33 days ago. Down to a tempting mark if he can bounce back with usual blinkers left off.

Forecasts

Lequinto (13/8), Classy Clarets (9/2), Royal Musketeer (5/1), Em Jay Kay (7/1), Beauzon (10/1), Not Just Yet (11/1), Professor Tickle (12/1), Good Karma (14/1), Hallowed Time (18/1), Haworth Star (66/1), Kipp Kelly (125/1)

LEQUINTO shaped well when third in a better handicap than this at Lingfield last week and he's of strong interest down in class. Em Jay Kay and Classy Clarets head the opposition.
