Definite⁴⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Watson| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64

66/1

Flat winner for Ralph Beckett who was unconvincing over hurdles and absent since being pulled up on chasing debut for Harriet Dickin back in summer of 2024. Betting can prove an informative guide on this belated return for new stable.

Troy Story^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 64

13/2

Maiden who fared better than on previous 2 starts for this yard under an attacking ride when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 26 days ago, no extra late on. Has fallen a long way in the weights if he can build on that with cheekpieces now reached for.

Fiddlers Green^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 62| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 16/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (12f) 21 days ago, running on to push a progressive 3-y-o close. Shortlist material.

Voix De Bocelli²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 61

25/1

Dual scorer on turf during first half of last season who fared better than he had of late over hurdles when third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not discounted.

Form: 426573-

Age Of Time^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Nicola Currie| T: Ian Williams| OR: 61

4/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 10/3, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 42 days ago, weakening 2f out. Another needing to get back on track here following a short break.

Sonnerie Power³⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 60| C

18/1

Course winner back in 2023 but gone without success since, failing to beat a rival on each of his last 2 starts earlier this year. Handicapper very much afforded him a chance on return/debut for new yard and a good gallop to aim at would help his cause.

Form: 03/8607-

Hopjes^p1⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Dickin| OR: 60

40/1

Modest form in bumpers/trio of novice starts on Flat and failed to complete in pair of hurdle outings during November. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now attentions switch back to this sphere but overall record suggests it's best to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 657-

Saahir²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: D P Quinn| OR: 61

16/5

Make Believe gelding who showed ability at long odds when third in a 6-runner novice on debut at Chelmsford (10f) in October. Drop back to 1m possibly against him in 2 subsequent runs but he does now get a first crack at handicaps and return to further rates a likely plus.

Form: 346-

Sands Of Havana¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 61

12/1

Havana Grey filly who ran her best race upon joining present stable when fourth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 16 days ago, having no issues with the markedly longer trip. Each-way possibilities with a repeat now stamina is tested a little more.

Form: 459574-

Flynn Ryder^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: S Edmunds| OR: 60

22/1

First run since leaving E. J. O'Neill when ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 28/1) 20 days ago, missing break and never dangerous. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 030609-

Read All About It³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: T Ward| OR: 59

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was again some way below the form she displayed in maiden/novice company (also off 5 months when last of 10 in handicap (40/1) at this course (1m) 37 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip now.

Form: 42360-

Take The Boat⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 57| C

7/2

Course winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. 22/1, stepped up on stable debut run and better than the distance beaten suggests in the process when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Can make presence felt.

Forecasts

Saahir (16/5), Take The Boat (7/2), Fiddlers Green (4/1), Age Of Time (4/1), Troy Story (13/2), Sands Of Havana (12/1), Egoiste (16/1), Phaedra (16/1), Sonnerie Power (18/1), Flynn Ryder (22/1), Voix De Bocelli (25/1), Hopjes (40/1), Definite (66/1), Read All About It (66/1)

Plenty of these arrive with something to prove but that can't be said for FIDDLERS GREEN, who ran well to push a progressive 3-y-o close over further here 21 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again. Take The Boat's Wolverhampton third last week was an encouraging display and she's feared along with Voix de Bocelli. Handicap newcomer Saahir and Sands of Havana are others with claims in the finale.
