Pit Boss^t,p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 55

5/1

Remains a maiden after 18 runs. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 20 days ago, nearest finish having been set lot to do. Cheekpieces back on and must enter calculations.

Form: 23727-7

No Nay Nevermind^v²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: I Jardine| OR: 55

13/2

In good form without winning until just seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 14/1) 23 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

Form: 35522-7

Ardaddy²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 55| D

9/2

Winner at Southwell in October. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 2 days ago so needs to get back on track.

Form: 17375-7

Ana Emaraaty^b⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 54| C

3/1

A 4-time course winner. Not disgraced when a running-on fourth of 9 in handicap here (6f) 4 days ago, seeming unsuited by drop in trip. A likely player back up to 7f.

Form: 65733-4

Carida^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 52

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Hood back on with lots more required.

Form: 5556-9

Woodrafff²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51| CD

3/1

C&D winner in September. Good third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 7/2) 21 days ago, left with too much to do. Very much one to consider off the same mark.

Form: 34156-3

Esque Elegance^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hanlon| OR: 47

7/1

18/1, very good fourth of 12 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago on her final run for Ann Duffield. One to consider for her new trainer.

Form: P0688-4

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

80/1

Eleventh of 12 in minor event (50/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 00097-0

125/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (250/1) 26 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Ana Emaraaty (3/1), Woodrafff (3/1), Ardaddy (9/2), Pit Boss (5/1), No Nay Nevermind (13/2), Esque Elegance (7/1), Isla Bella (8/1), Laura's Breeze (28/1), Carida (40/1), Sogannie (80/1), Bovey Belle (125/1)

ANA EMARAATY rates just the pick of the weights and shaped as if this return to a longer trip would suit when running on into fourth over 6f here last time so looks the way to go. Woodraff rates a big threat though on the back of a promising recent Southwell third, while in-form maiden Pit Boss can also have a say. Stephen Hanlon's new recruit Esque Elegance completes the shortlist.
