Off time: 15:07 | Winning time: 1m 22.36s

Havana Mojito^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J Gallagher| OR: 55| D

9/1

Finds himself 2 lb lower than when landing a double at Brighton this time last year and he made a solid return to action when fourth of 8 at Bath.

Form: 67860-4

(1)

Ravenglass^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 53| D

12/1

Back on his last successful mark. but it's hard to be confident, having regressed from his reappearance when well held at Wolverhampton last time. Cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form: 3764-47

(11)

Oh So Audacious²²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: Jack Jones| OR: 53| D

22/1

Won 3 times at Brighton for Harry Eustace but was below form there in October and the market may prove the best guide on first start for a new yard following 7 months off.

Form: 863140-

Back From Dubai⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 52| D

7/2

Dropped back in trip, he saw his race out well when successful in a similar event at Doncaster (7f) last time. A stronger pace could see him in an even better light here and he should make a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 3-58831

(10)

Grand Citadel^b⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Grace McEntee| T: M Fenton| OR: 52| BF| CD

11/4

On the same mark as when landing her sole career win in this race 12 months ago and while she shaped well when a clear runner-up at Lingfield last time, the forecast strong pace isn't ideal for one with her style.

Form: 494532

(8)

Edergole's Gift^t,p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 52| D

28/1

Back on her last successful mark following an inconsistent run of form, not on a going day when well-held in this grade at Yarmouth (6f) last time.

Form: 206306

(6)

Melissa Honey²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 51

6/1

Maiden hit the frame in higher grade handicaps as a 3-y-o and makes appeal on the back of a creditable fourth over 6f at Southwell on her latest start.

Form: 7408-64

(7)

Mini Mac^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 51

5/1

Hasn't won since this time last year but ran respectably off his falling mark when fourth of 16 in a similar handicap at Doncaster latest.

Form: 0-06084

Blue Point Express²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: A Wintle| OR: 48| D

Fitzmaurice¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

16/1

Ex-William Haggas maiden who offered little in 4 starts for Camilla Poulton and wasn't given a hard time when down the field on first start for current yard at Southwell (9/1).

Form: 00-5768

(4)

Rokuni²⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: C Wallis| OR: 46

12/1

Extended a long losing run when well beaten on final start for Christine Dunnett in September but on a career-low mark for new yard and has hit the frame a couple of times at this track.

Form: 303600-

Forecasts

Grand Citadel (11/4), Back From Dubai (7/2), Mini Mac (5/1), Melissa Honey (6/1), Havana Mojito (9/1), Ravenglass (12/1), Rokuni (12/1), Fitzmaurice (16/1), Oh So Audacious (22/1), Edergole's Gift (28/1), Blue Point Express (50/1)

This doesn't look a strong handicap and BACK FROM DUBAI may be able to follow up his Doncaster victory. Grand Citadel won this race 12 months ago and could go close again, provided the pace isn't overly strong, while Melissa Honey looks interesting dropped in grade.
