7/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twentieth of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 5/1) 33 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 70

Fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (100/1) 49 days ago, slowly away. Easy to look elsewhere.

Love Your Work^p,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 68| CD

10/1

Three wins from 16 runs this year. 2/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (10f) 15 days ago, unchallenged. Cheekpieces and tongue strap now refitted. 5 lb rise looks manageable and he's a major player.

Union Island¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oliver Stammers| T: C Johnston| OR: 68| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Bath in June. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to soft). Off 145 days and one or two of the others are more appealing.

Form: 411144

Rajinoora¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 69

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. 11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft) when last seen in July. 4 lb rise fair and return to this trip a plus, so she's one to consider.

11/1

Winner at Yarmouth in October. 9/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 17 days ago. Should make his presence felt once more.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66

11/2

Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 88 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and cheekpieces on 1st time. Vulnerable for win purposes.

50/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in October. 4/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago. Solid claims.

Forecasts

Tonal (1/1), Terries Royale (7/2), The Sweet Escape (11/2), Liv My Life (13/2), Love Your Work (10/1), Valkyrja (11/1), Rajinoora (16/1), Penfolds Grange (25/1), Union Island (25/1), Havana Touch (50/1)

TONAL came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Kempton, but he didn't lose much caste in defeat and is taken to regain the winning thread here, perhaps at the primary expense of the 9-y-o Love Your Work. The latter is not passed over lightly with a 5 lb rise for his recent success here fair enough, while Liv My Life, Rajinoora and Terries Royale are others who could have a say.
