Sub Thirteen¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

8/1

Latest win at Bath in October. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this course (5.1f) 19 days ago, needing stiffer test. Ought to be thereabouts.

9/2

Tongue tied and best run for her current yard when a very good second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 33/1) 23 days ago. Has to be taken seriously nudged up 1 lb.

8/1

Is knocking on the door, ½-length second of 9 to Twilight Madness in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark.

33/1

Latest win at Lingfield in November. Tenth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7.2f) 21 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Zoulu Warrior (11/4), Moostar (9/2), Em Jay Kay (9/2), Twilight Madness (5/1), Clover Time (8/1), Sub Thirteen (8/1), Simply Blue (17/2), Early Release (9/1), Water Of Leith (11/1), Darn Hot Time (25/1), Cali Case (33/1), Ten Club (33/1), Fletchers Dream (50/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but MOOSTAR signalled she is ready to strike for her current yard when a very good recent Chelmsford City runner-up so edges the vote from in-form Clover Time who could have to settle for second placing once more. Hat-trick seeking Twilight Madness is also firmly in the picture with Zoulu Warrior and Early Release not discounted either.
