Won at Ffos Las last July and placed on all 4 subsequent outings thereafter on AW last year. Didn't settle fully when seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 5 days ago and no surprise to see a better showing.

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2024. 11/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks competitive on form.

Ended a lengthy losing run at Chelmsford (13.3f) in August but hasn't scaled same heights either start since returning from a break, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 9 days ago. Needs to step up again to feature.

Lightly-raced maiden who proved very easy to back and offered little when ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, AW, 80/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Course winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 33/1) 10 days ago, albeit not fully convincing with his stamina. Cheekpieces on 1st time and eased 2 lb ahead of this.

Winner at Wolverhampton (14f) in July. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, plugging on having not been ideally placed. Not discounted.

Gained a narrow success at Southwell (14.1f) in October and not seen to very best effect either start since, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs things to drop right given his usual hold-up style.

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Consistency hardly his strong suit, however.

Veteran 7-time C&D winner who was well below form of previous 2 starts when last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/1) 46 days ago, weakening when headed 2f out. Needs to leave that well behind to feature.

Girl Of Gold27
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR:  45
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat who matched previous hurdles best when winning 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) 27 days ago. Has a basement mark to operate from returning to this sphere and she's certainly worth a second look for very shrewd outfit.

Forecasts

Girl Of Gold (9/4), The Craftymaster (5/1), Zooks (11/2), Smith (11/2), Lumberjack (6/1), Gearing's Point (12/1), Forglen (12/1), Karismatique (12/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (16/1), Fornido (25/1), Marine (50/1)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with ZOOKS, who is probably best not judged too harshly on her Wolverhampton effort 5 days ago and is re-united with Billy Loughnane. Recent hurdles scorer Girl of Gold is a danger from a basement mark back on the level, with The Craftymaster also shortlisted having fallen a long way in the weights.
