9/2

Runner-up in the 2022 Northumberland Plate and back to form with a pair of 2m Chester wins in August/September. Shaped better than beating just a handful home might suggest in Cesarewitch Handicap at Newmarket final start but tends to need his seasonal debut.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: James Doyle| T: James Owen| OR: 90| D

3/1

Yet another success story for James Owen, making it 4 wins from 5 starts for the yard across both spheres in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Remains well treated on old form and seems sure to go well again.

Form: 44431-1

Youthful King¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 88

14/1

Returned to form from out of the blue when taking 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f) in September. Well held in a couple of stronger events next 2 starts but stepped up on his reappearance when third in 2m handicap at Kempton recently and remains unexposed at the trip.

Form: 5617-03

Moon Over Miami⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 90| BF

2/1

Won both starts at 3 yrs and caught the eye upped markedly in trip when fourth of 6 at Kempton (2m) in February, running on without being unduly punished. Excuses at Lingfield since and surely has a bigger effort in him at some point.

Form: 11-546

Vice President²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 88

6/1

Confirmed previous promise in first-time cheekpieces when winning 11-runner maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good, 1/5) in July. Subsequently sold out of Aidan O'Brien's yard for 30,000 gns and remains open to improvement on handicap/stable debut. Has been gelded.

Robert Johnson¹⁸¹

10/1

Proved as good as ever when off the mark for current yard in Cesarewitch Trial (18f) at Newmarket in September, asserting close home. Ran respectably from a 4 lb higher mark at York on final outing but may find a few better treated on seasonal return.

Form: 470214-

Dreams Adozen^v⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| D

16/1

Fairly useful handicapper who added to her tally when pulling off what had looked an unlikely win at one point (traded at 999/1 on Betfair) at Newcastle (16.2f) in January, suited by emphasis on stamina. Ran too badly to be true at Southwell on most recent outing and usual visor now back on.

Forecasts

Moon Over Miami (2/1), Charging Thunder (3/1), Spirit Mixer (9/2), Vice President (6/1), Robert Johnson (10/1), Blazeon Five (12/1), Youthful King (14/1), Dreams Adozen (16/1)

MOON OVER MIAMI had little go right at Lingfield on his most recent outing and it will be something of a surprise if he doesn't have a bigger performance in his locker given how he shaped at Kempton on his penultimate outing, so he earns the vote. Charging Thunder has been thriving for James Owen and remains well treated on old form, with Blazeon Five another to consider in an interesting affair.
