Cristalino⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 65

5/1

Lightly-raced filly who ran respectably when fourth of 8 in nursery at Lingfield (6f, AW) 50 days ago, weakening final 1f. Rider takes off a valuable 7 lb here and she's not discounted.

Dr Ali³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 64

7/1

Didn't kick on from a promising start for Ger Lyons but off 5 months/sold cheaply, got back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) 30 days ago, staying on final 1f. Entitled to come on for that run now back up at 7f.

Cosmic Force^b1,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 63| BF

18/5

Lightly-raced maiden who ran well in a first-time tongue strap when third of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 6/5) 30 days ago. That effort suggested a return to this longer trip is worth exploring and he's one to consider.

Form: 6906-73

Mister Knockout^v1⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 60

4/1

Ran up to best when finishing close-up fourth at Bath (1m) in October and not seen to best effect when seventh of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 79 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and never dangerous. Switched yards ahead of this and the market can guide.

Penelope Valentine²⁹

7/2

Consistent following the switch to AW/handicaps, matching previous best when third of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. Not for the first time, didn't entirely convince under pressure, but possibilities nevertheless.

Form: 0542-23

Helaali^t,p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 56

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was well backed but found himself on the backfoot following a slow start when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, pushed along 2f out and never on terms. Eased 2 lb subsequently and he's not one to write off.

Forecasts

Penelope Valentine (7/2), Cosmic Force (18/5), Mister Knockout (4/1), Party Bear (4/1), Cristalino (5/1), Dr Ali (7/1), Dovey Moon (14/1), Berning Hot (16/1), Helaali (20/1)

PARTY BEAR was much improved on the back of 6 months off/switched to handicaps when runner-up at Wolverhampton 39 days ago, and it's feasible to think she can do better again for her leading yard now stepped up in trip. Cosmic Force looks a big threat following his good third over 6f here last month. Penelope Valentine and Dr Ali rate next best.
