10/1

Previously trained by Sir Michael Stoute and made winning stable debut at Kempton in November. Seemed stretched by longer trip when 16¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Champagne Prince in listed race at Kempton (12f, 5/2) 38 days ago. Not ruled out.

14/1

Took record on all-weather in France to 3 wins from 5 starts when successful in 17-runner handicap (9/1) at Chantilly (9.4f) 67 days ago. Interesting contender on first run for yard after leaving Fabrice Chappet.

6/1

Won twice last year, with latest success at Salisbury in July. Back on track at this C&D final 2 starts last year, neck second of 11 to Charlotte's Web in handicap (3/1) 45 days ago. Can give another good account.

Imperial Express⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

40/1

Made it 2 wins from 3 starts when scoring at Hamilton in August. However, never a threat when 15½ lengths ninth of 15 to Grand Stars in listed race at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, heavy, 31/1) in November. Has something to find.

11/4

Off the mark at second attempt and followed up in decisive fashion when landing 11-runner handicap (6/5) at this C&D 46 days ago, suited by the step up in trip. Well-bred filly and she's respected with further improvement to come.

40/1

Three-time winner in 2023, but refused to race on first outing for current yard in September. Fared better when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 50/1) 23 days ago, though had run of race. Has work to do.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79| D

40/1

Won at Newbury and Newmarket in August and ran well when making the frame next 3 starts. Met trouble when 8 lengths tenth of 11 to Charlotte's Web in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 45 days ago, but more still required.

Charmaine^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 79

8/1

Opened account at Kempton in September and has shaped encouragingly in handicaps both starts since, caught further back than ideal when second of 10 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration.

Therapist¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: N J Henderson| OR: 77| BF| D

20/1

Dual winner over hurdles. Back on the Flat, has proved effectiveness on all-weather at this course last 2 starts, fourth of 9 in handicap (12f, 10/3) on latest outing 15 days ago. Can give her running again.

Form: 393/33-4

Unassuming^t⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 76

10/1

Back-to-back victories at Southwell (both at 8.1f) in September and soon resumed progress when second of 8 in handicap (7/2) at the same C&D 72 days ago. Not dismissed lightly as she goes back up in trip.

Forecasts

Charlotte's Web (5/2), Santorini Star (11/4), Elladonna (6/1), Charmaine (8/1), Power Of Destiny (10/1), Unassuming (10/1), Timetoshine (14/1), Therapist (20/1), Imperial Express (40/1), Dayzee (40/1), Typical Woman (40/1), Cancelled (50/1)

CHARLOTTE'S WEB maintained her unbeaten record in handicaps when successful in the trial for this race in December and she can provide the Crisfords with a third consecutive win in the Winter Oaks itself. Santorini Star is feared most as she bids for a hat-trick making only her fourth start, while Charmaine has been shaping up well and is another to note.
