Francesi⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64

3/1

Won three of last five 1m AW starts, most recently first of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (3/1) 6 days ago. Up 4lbs and running under a penalty but further success can't be discounted back over longer trip.

Form: 2133-11

Golden Move¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Rose Dawes| T: C N Kellett| OR: 65

40/1

Hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls but offered little in either code for new yard. Ninth of 10 in hurdle race at Doncaster (66/1) 18 days ago and plenty to prove returning to Flat racing.

Form: 033/098-

Stipulation^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65| CD

5/1

Consistent with third-place finishes in three of last four starts, including third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (4/1) 19 days ago. Has proven form at this course and distance, winning here last September and should give his running.

Form: 113353-

Seraphic⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 60| C

7/4

Showed improved form in recent runs, finishing 3rd and narrow 2nd at this course and distance. Won by 1¾ lengths as 5/1 chance in 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City 5 days ago. Should go well again despite 5lb penalty.

Form: 2093-21

Arth's Gold^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

8/1

Maiden finished sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6/1) 13 days ago, after a good third there 29 days ago. Low mileage for age and may improve returning to this C&D where shaped promisingly in October.

Form: 9/9563-6

Dingwall^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cara Tuke⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 61| CD

9/2

Course specialist with two Wolverhampton wins including one over C&D. Third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (11/2) 27 days ago, slow away but made good headway 2f out, briefly led 1f out, pulled clear of remainder. Clearly thriving on AW and should be a major player despite slow-starting ways.

Form: 611D23-

Seventy³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Phoebe Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: R Burdon| OR: 60

11/1

Best effort was a close 3rd at Kempton last August but finished last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (well-backed 7/2 shot) on stable debut 30 days ago. Back down in trip here and worth noting if support comes again.

Form: 685388-

Magic Runner¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Taryn Langley| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| CD

12/1

C&D winner who finished sixth of 10 in handicap over C&D (10/1) 14 days ago, not settling fully and denied a clear run in the straight. Well suited by this track and could bounce back with better luck in running.

Form: 03146-6

(2)

Prince Ali^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Zoe Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: T Faulkner| OR: 57| CD

33/1

Has won 6 times including 4 at this track but finished seventh of 9 back in headgear at this C&D (25/1) 14 days ago when pulling hard under this jockey. Needs to settle better with cheekpieces retained.

Form: 74409-7

Forecasts

Seraphic (2/1), Francesi (3/1), Stipulation (5/1), Dingwall (6/1), Arth's Gold (10/1), Seventy (12/1), Magic Runner (16/1), Prince Ali (25/1), Golden Move (33/1)

C&D winner DINGWALL arrives on the back of an eye-catching third at Newcastle recently despite being slowly away 4 weeks ago. Clearly thriving on the all-weather, he can resume winning ways with a better start. Seraphic has shown much improved form, winning comfortably at Chelmsford City five days ago, while Francesi is in flying form with three recent all-weather wins. Both are respected under a penalty.
