C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 12 days ago, slowly away. Looks vulnerable.

Sam's Xpress²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 72| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. 6/1, won 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago, always holding on. 5 lb rise may prove manageable and likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 112511-

Lequinto¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| D

14/1

Four wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Sandown in September. Fifth of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 63610-5

Coronado King^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72

11/1

One win from 2 runs last year. Winner at Wolverhampton in October. Sixth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 35/19-06

Fiorella Princess^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: C Wallis| OR: 71| D

9/1

Latest win at Sandown in September. 33/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 16 days ago. Won't be far away if she again puts her best foot forward.

Form: 31266-2

Mick's Spirit^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 68| CD

11/2

7/2, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago. That was his ninth C&D success and, still feasibly treated up 4 lb, he's a key player.

Form: 1396-41

(2)

Balon D'or^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 67| D

25/1

Latest win at Chester in September. 50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Now 0-9 away from turf and others make more appeal.

Form: 515706-

Bint Havana Gold¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 64

12/1

Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. 40/1, last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, slowly away. Would have a chance off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Form: 1957-77

Forecasts

Sam's Xpress (13/8), Toolatetonegotiate (11/4), Mick's Spirit (11/2), Fiorella Princess (9/1), Coronado King (11/1), Bint Havana Gold (12/1), Lequinto (14/1), Balon D'or (25/1)

The hat-trick beckons for SAM'S XPRESS, who never looked in any serious danger when enhancing his impressive all-weather strike rate at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. He was a clear-cut C&D winner on his sole previous visit here eight days earlier and should prove too strong for Fiorella Princess and Mick's Spirit.
