Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 88| D

25/1

A fair 7f juvenile winner. Not discredited when eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Others look better treated at these weights though.

Form: 44-6708

5/1

Followed up Redcar debut success by taking 7f Kempton novice but off for 12 months since coming in only sixth on her handicap debut at Kempton. Still needs considering for top yard though.

9/2

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Up 2 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 682472

9/4

Debut C&D winner got right back on track when second of 8 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good) 28 days ago. Must enter calculations off an unchanged mark.

Rajala⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80| D

28/1

Fair 7f scorer for Dermot Weld in May. Only sixth of 8 for her new yard in novice at Kempton (7f) 59 days ago so needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

Form: 516

10/1

On a losing run but she posted a solid third of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. One for the shortlist.

10/3

Scored at Wolverhampton in June and has posted good placed efforts in handicaps at Goodwood (7f) and Sandown (1m) this autumn. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Bright Times Ahead (9/4), Bint Mohaather (10/3), Naina (9/2), Cognisance (5/1), Greydreambeliever (10/1), Orchid (10/1), Saariselka (20/1), Biniorella Bay (25/1), Rajala (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but NAINA rates the pick of the weights on the back of her very good C&D second so looks the way to go. Fellow C&D scorer Bright Times Ahead is feared most on the back of her resurgent Ascot second with both Bint Mohaather and Orchid well in the mix too.
