Nunc Est Bibendum¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70| C

10/11

Has hit a rich vein of form, completing a hat-trick in staying handicaps on the all-weather. First of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f) (4/11) 10 days ago, had plenty in hand. Looks a most progressive stayer and can land the 4-timer despite carrying a penalty.

Form: 0031-11

Geordie Mackem⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 70

17/2

Placed in bumpers but shown little in Flat runs, finishing sixth of 10 in Newcastle maiden (22/1) 63 days ago. Significant step up in trip will need to bring about improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 646-

Simiyann^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67| BF| D

12/1

Better on AW with third place in a higher grade at Southwell in autumn (well-backed when disappointing latest Flat start). No show over hurdles since but could be worth another chance back on this surface from 1 lb below last winning mark.

Prince Quattro¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 66

12/1

Two runner-up finishes in December before third of 4 at Lingfield (15.8f) (3/1) 10 days ago when back up in trip but below form. Cheekpieces removed today and entitled to be competitive if back on song.

Form: 43228-3

Further Measure^p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR: 63| CD

22/1

Has 9 career wins including 3 at this course and finished 4th of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10/1) 42 days ago, found wanting when pace lifted. Working his way back to form and not one to write off.

Form: 000644-

Not So Sobers^h1³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 62

28/1

Fairly useful bumper winner yet to make impact on Flat, beaten 20 lengths when 7th of 12 in 12f maiden at Wolverhampton (80/1) 38 days ago. Tries first-time hood for handicap debut and worth a check in the betting.

Form: 587-

Fleur De Mer²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 61

14/1

Without a win for 17 runs since September 2023, but placed close third at this C&D 83 days ago. Shaped well when third of 11 in 14f handicap at Wolverhampton (9/1) 26 days ago, travelled fluently but stuck wide throughout in a well-run race. One to be interested in off 1 lb lower.

Form: 255393-

Arc Zoosve^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: N B King| OR: 61

10/3

Won 2 of 3 recent AW starts with cheekpieces, including first of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15/8 favourite) 15 days ago. Up 3lbs in higher grade but clearly in fine heart on AW.

Form: 6661-41

(6)

Zephlyn^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Greg Fairley| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 61| C

40/1

Has struggled since last win at Catterick in May, finishing sixth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (28/1) 16 days ago, never threatening. Course winner would need to recapture previous form.

Form: 11809-6

Forecasts

Nunc Est Bibendum (10/11), Arc Zoosve (10/3), Geordie Mackem (17/2), Prince Quattro (12/1), Simiyann (12/1), Fleur De Mer (14/1), Further Measure (22/1), Not So Sobers (28/1), Zephlyn (40/1)

NUNC EST BIBENDUM is in a rich vein of form, completing a hat-trick in staying handicaps on the all-weather, most recently scoring at Lingfield 10 days ago. This progressive mare looks set to defy a penalty, while Fleur De Mer went close over course and distance in October and again shaped well last time. Arc Zoosve has won 2 of his 3 starts since cheekpieces were applied and is respected upped in grade.
