Havana Sky^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70| C

15/2

Course winner. Eight wins from 27 Flat runs. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and should make his presence felt.

Form: 418301

(4)

Noisy Music^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 68| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 12/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on and shouldn't be far away.

Form: 286122

(8)

Thapa VC^t,p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: M G Rimell| OR: 67| CD

9/1

Four-time C&D winner. 9/1, below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Cheekpieces back on and not without each-way hope.

Form: 548616

Zu Run¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 66| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in May. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 16/1) 15 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 419870

Winter Crown⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 65

7/2

First run since leaving Julie Camacho when 33/1, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, suited by way race developed. 3 lb nudge looks about right, but couldn't be sure that things will pan out so favourably this time.

Form: 447671

Patontheback²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: G Tutty| OR: 64| C| D

20/1

Course winner. Good second of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 28/1) 22 days ago, just failing. Likely to have a part to play if in the same form back on the AW.

Form: 881992

(3)

Chifa¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan| T: E De Giles| OR: 63| CD

4/1

fIVE-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good ¾-length second of 12 to South Dakota Sioux in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago, running on. 2 lb better off with that rival now and he's a key player.

Form: 400642

(9)

South Dakota Sioux^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: J Butler| OR: 62| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner. Won 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/2) 10 days ago by ¾ length from Chifa. Cheekpieces back on and likely to be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 227841

(7)

Harbour Vision^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| CD

50/1

Eight-time course winner who was a good third of 11 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. However, he's on a 20-race losing run stretching back to November last year and he may again find one or two too good.

Form: 505083

Forecasts

Winter Crown (7/2), Noisy Music (7/2), Chifa (4/1), South Dakota Sioux (9/2), Havana Sky (15/2), Thapa VC (9/1), Zu Run (14/1), Patontheback (20/1), Harbour Vision (50/1)

CHIFA was beaten under a length by South Dakota Sioux at Kempton recently and he has a good chance of turning the tables on that rival, who he meets on 2 lb better terms here. The latter is respected nevertheless and rates the main danger ahead of Lingfield winner Havana Sky and Patontheback.
