|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (10)  (10/1 -43%)Rendition |
10/1(-43%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rendition 10/1, Maiden who ran up to best and proved herself at the trip when 2½ lengths second of 7 to Winklevi in handicap at Chelmsford (2m) 24 days ago, well positioned. Not out of things with a repeat. | |||
2nd (7)  (4.5/1 +0%)Winklevi |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Winklevi 4.5/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Chelmsford (2m) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Should go well again in present groove. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.33/1 -11%)Typewritten |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Typewritten 3.33/1, Course winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 12 days ago, having to pick way through. Fancied to be in the mix again now stamina is drawn out further. | |||
4th (9)  (8.5/1 +58%)Boundsy Boy |
8.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Boundsy Boy 8.5/1, Modest form at best on 2 of 3 starts in this sphere for Richard Fahey earlier in career and he's only reached a similar level over hurdles for present yard. Return to the level needs to bring about an upturn. | |||
5th (5)  (40/1 -150%)Clearance |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Clearance 40/1, Course winner who offered little back on the Flat at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 50/1) 20 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Needs to leave that in his wake to feature. | |||
6th (2)  (2.5/1 +17%)First Charge |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Charge 2.5/1, C&D winner who landed trio of handicaps at around 2m during 2021. Mixed bag on turf/AW last year but he lost all chance at the start on latest start at Kempton and this ease in grade is a plus. | |||
7th (6)  (28/1 -12%)Vintage Rascal |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Vintage Rascal 28/1, Failed to kick on from debut 2-y-o success for Tom Ward and he made a discouraging start over hurdles/on back of 16 months off for present yard at Fontwell in December. | |||
8th (8)  (33/1 -136%)Hackberry |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hackberry 33/1, Winner at Newcastle in July. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 17/2). Off 98 days. First run for yard after leaving Ann Duffield. Cheekpieces back on. | |||
9th (1)  (12/1 +40%)Jack The Savage |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jack The Savage 12/1, Fair winner of first of 2 starts in bumpers. Some promise on second of 3 starts in novice company (at up to 12f) this winter but opening mark demands improvement now handicapping. | |||
10th (4)  (7/1 -17%)Iftikhaar |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Iftikhaar 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden (9/2) at this course (12.2f) 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. |

(9)  (22/1 -22%)The Rebel Breen |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Rebel Breen 22/1, Maiden who was below form fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.6f) 18 days ago, racing lazily and one paced. Others make more appeal. | |||
1st (7)  (7/1 -27%)Trusty Scout |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Trusty Scout 7/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Good third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at this course (8.6f) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.1/1 +12%)Donald Llewellyn |
1.1/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Donald Llewellyn 1.1/1, Off 2 years/proved easy to back but ultimately shed maiden tag with bit to spare in 9-runner minor event at Kempton (12f) 10 days ago, quickening clear 1f out and winning readily. Strong claims if quick turnaround doesn't catch him out. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.75/1 +56%)Stranger Things |
1.75/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stranger Things 1.75/1, Maiden who posted a good fourth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford (10f) 13 days ago, headway over 1f out and noted finishing well. Worth a crack at this trip on that evidence and very promising rider takes off handy 5 lb. | |||
4th (3)  (66/1 -164%)Harmonious |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harmonious 66/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in minor event (12/1) at this C&D 24 days ago, always behind. Needs to leave that in his wake to play a lead role here. | |||
5th (5)  (7/1 -56%)Miss Sligo |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Miss Sligo 7/1, 6-y-o mare who tasted success 4 times (at up to 12f) during first half of last year. Comes here in good heart, creditable third of 13 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago, short of room final 1f and keeping on. High on shortlist. | |||
6th (4)  (80/1 -220%)Longville Lilly |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Longville Lilly 80/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Offered little when sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut in October. Likely to find a few too good again returned to the level. | |||
7th (8)  (125/1 -346%)Maison Beau |
125/1(-346%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Maison Beau 125/1, Seventh of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 100/1) 13 days ago, fading over 1f out. Cheekpieces go on now but others make much more appeal up in trip. | |||
8th (2)  (66/1 +0%)Girandole |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Girandole 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 50/1, tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago, weakening after 3 out. Hard to warm to. |

1st (8)  (0.73/1 +20%)Sapphire Seas |
0.73/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sapphire Seas 0.73/1, Frankel filly who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth of 11 in novice event at Kempton (1m) on debut 23 days ago, very slowly away but making considerable ground by the finish. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and one to be interested in. | |||
2nd (6)  (3/1 -50%)Mountain Song |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mountain Song 3/1, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Echo Point and 7f-1m winner Western Writer. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Noteworthy newcomer for leading stable. | |||
3rd (9)  (5/1 +29%)Too Much |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Too Much 5/1, Promising sort. Second of 13 in novice event at Southwell (7.1f, 10/3) 38 days ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on. Remains with potential, particularly now stamina is drawn out further. | |||
4th (1)  (5.5/1 +45%)Glam Puss |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glam Puss 5.5/1, Offered something to work on when runner-up on debut in a Kempton novice (7f) in October and duly took a marked step forward to go one place better at Southwell (1m) 4 weeks ago. More to do conceding weight all round but she may have more to offer. | |||
5th (4)  (100/1 -100%)Kingston Joy |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kingston Joy 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 16 days ago, steadied start and never dangerous. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag moving forward. | |||
6th (11)  (200/1 -33%)Wood Farm Wag |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Wood Farm Wag 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) 9 days ago, racing freely and always behind. Can only be watched. | |||
7th (2)  (250/1 -100%)Betty Fletcher |
250/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Betty Fletcher 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, again offered little when last of 9 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 16 days ago. | |||
8th (7)  (100/1 -203%)Princess Angela |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Princess Angela 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at this course (8.6f, 28/1) on debut 8 days ago, driven soon after halfway and never on terms. | |||
9th (5)  (250/1 -67%)Blaker |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blaker 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at this course (8.6f) 31 days ago. Can only be watched on what she's achieved to date. | |||
10th (10)  (50/1 -25%)Wadacre Inca |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wadacre Inca 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at this C&D on debut 74 days ago, going in snatches and fading. Probably one for handicaps/over further in due course. |

2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Starshiba 2.75/1, Three wins over 7f/1m at Lingfield in the last couple of months. Showed he's still in good form when third of 12 at Lingfield (1m) 6 days ago. Likely to go well again. | |||

3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Algheed 3/1, Back to winning ways over C&D this month and followed up in 6f handicap here 10 days later. 5 lb penalty demands more but she's hard to rule out in her current mood. | |||

6th (5)  (16/1 -100%)Free Solo |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Free Solo 16/1, Won twice at Lingfield around the turn of the year. Runner-up all 3 outings since, although not at his best in a C&D claimer last time. | |||
7th (6)  (12/1 +45%)Ballyconneely Bay |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ballyconneely Bay 12/1, Latest win at Hamilton in August. Below-form fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. | |||
8th (3)  (80/1 -21%)Rishes Baar |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rishes Baar 80/1, Debut winner for David O'Meara in autumn 2021 but drawn a blank since, including seventh of 8 at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Not hard to look elsewhere. |

2nd (5)  (3.5/1 +30%)Fly The Nest |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fly The Nest 3.5/1, Course winner in October. 16/5, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 13 days ago. Can give another good account. | |||
3rd (8)  (7.5/1 -150%)Won Love |
7.5/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Won Love 7.5/1, 8/1, won 10-runner classified event over C&D 8 days ago. Carries penalty. Another likely to be in the shake-up. | |||

6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tricky Business 6.5/1, Confirmed return to form when 2½ lengths third of 11 to Breezyandbright in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (7f) 7 days ago. Blinkers on first time. | |||

2/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Martineo 2/1, Four-time course winner. Hard to get excited by his recent efforts but is starting to look dangerously well handicapped. Has been given a short break. Market confidence could prove significant. | |||
7th (1)  (3.2/1 +9%)Breezyandbright |
3.2/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Breezyandbright 3.2/1, Arrives on hat-trick after wins over 6f/7f at Southwell this month. 5 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. | |||
8th (3)  (40/1 -122%)Portelet Bay |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Portelet Bay 40/1, Latest win at Catterick in September. Eighth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at this course (6f) 24 days ago, slowly away. | |||
