Golden Mind^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 99| D

33/1

Back to winning ways at Newcastle in August but he has gone off the boil, coming in last of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 461000

(15)

Korker¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 97

12/1

Winless since 2023 but he got right back on track when second of 12 to Fine Interview in handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 006832

(19)

Fine Interview^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 95| CD

16/5

Arrives on a hat-trick after recent 6f handicap victories (fitted with cheekpieces) at Pontefract and over C&D (heavy), holding on by length from Korker on latter occasion. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 835311

Stormy Impact¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 95| D

33/1

A daul scorer at Epsom and Wolverhampton in the summer who got back on the up when second of 8 to Sophia's Starlight in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. In the picture nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 091582

Sophia's Starlight¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 95| D

28/1

Ended a losing sequence at Pontefract in October and backed it up with a good third of 12 to Fine Interview in handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 007513

(21)

Oliver Show^t,p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 94

12/1

Quirky but talented performer who arrives in good nick, ninth of 20 in 1m Ascot handicap 21 days ago. Not ruled out back in trip off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 208479

(12)

Realign⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93| D

9/2

Lightly-raced son of Blue Point who was much improved on the back of being gelded when readily taking 12-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 42 days ago. Unraced on soft going but capable of a fair bit better still. Most interesting.

Form: 23-1901

(20)

Woolhampton¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 93| D

50/1

Better than ever when winning handicaps at Sandown (soft) and Ascot in August/September. Posted a solid sixth of 12 to Smart Vision in handicap here (5f, heavy) 14 days ago so needs considering.

Form: 911886

(3)

Solar Aclaim¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 92| D

18/1

Dual winner at Chester and Yarmouth in the summer and he got right back on track when third of 12 to Smart Vision in handicap here (5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 711093

(14)

Milford¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 92

28/1

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2024 but he wasn't disgraced when seventh of 12 to Fine Interview in handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 322007

(17)

Smart Vision^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 91| C

25/1

Made it three wins in his last five starts with a career-best effort in 12-runner handicap here (5f, heavy) 14 days ago, always holding on by neck from Duran. Up another 4 lb but very much one to consider.

Form: 312311

(22)

Akkadian Thunder^v1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| BF| C

9/1

Course winner who comes here in decent nick, sixth of 12 to Fine Interview in handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Can go well off a 2 lb lower mark with a visor added.

Form: 937986

(18)

Eye Of Dubai¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 90| CD

18/1

Useful sprinter who enjoyed a productive autumn in 2024 (won this prize) and is repeating the feat this year, bagging Ripon success before a good fifth of 12 over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 205315

(8)

Evening Saigon²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 89| D

9/1

Lightly-raced ex-Irish gelding who made light of a 14-month absence when readily winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. Up 4 lb but has won in the mud and this unexposed sort is a player.

Form: 132-1

(10)

Strike Red¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88| D

20/1

Runner-up in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in August but not in the same form since, too keen when beating only one at Doncaster last time. Handily weighted though if back on his A-game.

Form: 629080

(6)

Lord Bertie^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| CD

14/1

Ended a long losing run in 14-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly despite taking a 5 lb rise.

Form: 059231

(1)

Roach Power^b⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Wigham| OR: 87| D

25/1

Is enjoying a fine season and he bagged a fifth victory in 11-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 8 days ago. Hiked up 8 lb but this strong-travelling sort can make his presence felt once more.

Form: 361171

(13)

Woven^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 87| CD

40/1

Resumed winning ways at Ayr in October and not discredited when fifth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy) 15 days ago given he wasn't ideally placed. This C&D scorer must enter calculations.

Form: 602815

(7)

Duran¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 86| D

25/1

Winless since May but he posted a very good neck second of 12 to Smart Vision in handicap here (5f, heavy) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Can go well stepped back up to 6f.

Form: 442342

(9)

Running Queen⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 86

80/1

A fairly useful juvenile winner in the mud but yet to fire in a couple of runs in 2025, beating just one on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (6f) in September. Could bounce back granted these underfoot conditions though.

Form: 4133-78

(11)

Rousing Encore¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 86| D

22/1

Resumed winning ways at Ayr in September and recorded a solid fourth of 12 to Fine Interview over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Merits consideration eased 1 lb.

Form: 058104

(16)

Aberama Gold^v¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| BF| CD

16/1

C&D winner who is proving reliable as ever despite his advancing years, third of 14 to Lord Bertie in handicap over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 174323

Forecasts

Fine Interview (16/5), Realign (9/2), Akkadian Thunder (9/1), Evening Saigon (9/1), Oliver Show (12/1), Korker (12/1), Lord Bertie (14/1), Aberama Gold (16/1), Eye Of Dubai (18/1), Solar Aclaim (18/1), Strike Red (20/1), Rousing Encore (22/1), Smart Vision (25/1), Duran (25/1), Roach Power (25/1), Milford (28/1), Sophia's Starlight (28/1), Golden Mind (33/1), Stormy Impact (33/1), Woven (40/1), Woolhampton (50/1), Running Queen (80/1)

Lots with chances but there was plenty to like about REALIGN's victory at Haydock (on the back of a gelding op) and William Haggas' well-bred son of Blue Point can make light of a 7 lb rise and confirm himself a sprinter to follow. The Hamad Al Jehani-trained duo Evening Saigon and Fine Interview both arrive on the back of last-time-out successes also and head the long list of dangers. Others to consider in a cracking sprint include Solar Aclaim, Smart Vision, Running Queen and Korker.
