Irish Nectar²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 83| D

17/2

3-time sprint winner in soft/heavy conditions. Bit below form when last seen finishing eighth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November, needing stronger gallop. Down in grade and not ruled out if ready to roll on return.

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

22/1

Veteran was below form at end of last season, fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 6/1) in October. Tough ask to take this on return.

Blind Beggar^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 82| D

10/1

Creditable AW campaign prior to doing all he could back on turf when fourth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Ascot (5f, firm) 29 days ago, slowly away. Back down to his last successful mark and could be dangerous if getting into a rhythm on the front end.

Form: 2-34594

Brummell³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 82| D

10/3

Better than ever on reappearance after 5 months off when winning 13-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago, found plenty for pressure. Still low mileage for a sprinter and should remain competitive.

Form: 33215-1

Moonstone Boy^b⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 81| D

4/1

3-time winner last year and returned in excellent heart following 6 months off when second of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 40 days ago, only headed close home. Solid claims if he can repeat that effort.

Form: 11394-2

Never Dark²²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 81| D

25/1

Typically a front-runner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, heavy) on final run last season. Work to do on return from 3 lb above last winning mark.

Minnie Wildes³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: C Fellowes| OR: 76

9/2

Didn't need to improve to make it 2-2 in maidens to start her career but unable to improve for switch to handicaps, although likely needed run when tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 32 days ago. Lightly-raced and could be worth another chance.

Form: 113-0

Water Of Leith¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| C| D

11/4

Course winner capitalised on a drop in grade (0-70) to win at Catterick in May. Ran at least as well in defeat when second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago, just failing. Up in grade but can go well again.

Form: 864612

Impressor^p²⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 72| D

50/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, soft) in October (well backed) but found out in better company the following month, seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 11/1). One to keep an eye on in the betting on reappearance.

Form: 229517-

Invincible Annice⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 69| D

40/1

Best form at 5f as a juvenile. Well beaten on first outing since leaving K. R. Burke after 6 months off (sold for 10,000 gns) when last of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Must improve.

Forecasts

Water Of Leith (11/4), Brummell (10/3), Moonstone Boy (4/1), Minnie Wildes (9/2), Emeralds Pride (8/1), Irish Nectar (17/2), Blind Beggar (10/1), Glorious Angel (16/1), Hyperfocus (22/1), Never Dark (25/1), Invincible Annice (40/1), Impressor (50/1)

MOONSTONE BOY returned in excellent heart when narrowly denied on reappearance on Musselburgh last month and he may be able to gain compensation in a race that could be run to suit. Water of Leith goes well here and arrives in great form, while Blind Beggar could be a danger back down to his last winning mark.
