5/6

Showed plenty in a good maiden at Newbury last spring and landed the odds in a Chelmsford novice on return from 11-month absence. Had to concede weight to some promising 3-y-os when fourth of 12 at Leicester last time, so he remains with potential on handicap debut.

Form: 2-14

7/1

Without a victory in 2025 but proved consistent for Pam Sly until a below-par effort at Goodwood in July. Back with former trainer this year and has had excuses both outings, stumbling at the start but still going well for a long way. Interesting dropped in grade.

Form: 4207-00

Potomac River^t²³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: T Kent| OR: 77WS

9/1

Progressed with each of his 3 starts last year, despite not being ideally placed when third of 6 in maiden at Newcastle in September. Will need to find more again as he makes seasonal/handicap debut (has been gelded/had breathing operation).

Form: 523-

Anthropologist^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 73| BF| D

18/1

Has found his feet for current yard this year, producing a career best when winning at Newcastle (7f) in March. However, found things tougher in a deeper race when sixth of 14 over the same C&D 23 days ago.

Shimmering Spin^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73

16/1

Yet to win a handicap, but dropped to 7f with cheekpieces added he fared better than of late when fourth of 11 over this C&D 22 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 8356-64

Noble Guest¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: G G Margarson| OR: 72| CD

11/2

Successful twice over this C&D last season, with latest win in September. Made a sound return from 6 months off when third of 6 here 15 days ago, beaten by a pair of last-time-out winners, and he enters calculations.

Form: 15156-3

Berry Clever¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Jack Callan⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 70| D

7/1

Proved at least as good as ever when successful at Kempton (1m) in October. Has backed that up with a pair of third-place finishes over the same C&D this year, despite racing freely. A strong pace in this race could help as he drops back in trip.

Form: 9461-33

Forecasts

Beagle Bay (5/6), Noble Guest (11/2), Believe The Storm (6/1), Berry Clever (7/1), Physique (7/1), Fifty Nifty (7/1), Potomac River (9/1), Shimmering Spin (16/1), Anthropologist (18/1)

BEAGLE BAY has shown fairly useful form in his 3 starts so far, facing a difficult task when fourth at Leicester last time, and he could still have more to offer as he goes handicapping. He gets the vote ahead of the class-dropping Physique, with dual C&D winner Noble Guest also considered.
