2/1

Goes very well round here and capitalised on much reduced when registering a second course success in 12-runner handicap (1½m) 3 weeks ago. Big shout nudged up 2 lb.

Finlaggan²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

2/1

French recruit who has been brought along steadily by his current yard, eighth of 11 in maiden on qualifying run at Catterick (7f) 21 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap debut and he's open to improvement.

Form: 7-88

8/1

C&D winner but an ungenuine type and pulled up over hurdles at Wetherby on his final run for Micky Hammond in October. Tongue tied for new yard with his fitness to prove.

Dubawi Time^h²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 51| D

16/1

Winless in 2025 and largely well below par for William Knight. Has slipped to a handy-looking mark though if resurgent for his new handler on seasonal return.

Form: 730886-

Heartened^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 48| D

14/1

Got off the mark at Newcastle in September. Failed to build on reappearance promise though when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 24 days ago and he's 3 lb "wrong" at the weights here.

Form: 3136-46

LIGHTENING COMPANY is building up a very good record round here and fancied to bag a third course victory at the chief expense of resurgent Nottingham runner-up Bearwith. Dubawi Time starts life with Micky Hammond on a lenient-looking mark and could also have a say if back on song.
