Golden Force^b1⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 77| D

16/1

Promising sort when trained by Clive Cox but virtually tailed off on debut for this yard at Lingfield last week. Entitled to come on for that run and first-time blinkers may help but still 1lb above his last winning handicap mark.

Form: 16464-9

(9)

Little Palaver^p⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Amelia Glass⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 74| CD

20/1

Three-time course winner who got his head back in front over C&D in October; disappointed on return from a short break here last month and not ruled out if he can get an uncontested lead from his wide draw.

Form: 284216-

Stringybark Creek²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74| CD

16/1

Surprise C&D winner when making all in November but hasn't managed to deploy the same tactics with success on his last couple of starts; return to this track will suit but it's a tough ask from the widest draw.

Form: 701538-

Smokey Lane^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 73

14/1

Useful when he gets soft/heavy ground on turf but his record of zero wins and one place in 13 starts on AW tells its own story. Merely passing beaten rivals when third at Wolverhampton last time and others make more appeal.

Form: 534-333

(1)

Fantastic Flyer^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 73| BF| CD

11/1

AW specialist who is five from 13 on artificial surfaces. Entitled to need the run returning from 72 days off the track at Wolverhampton last time out and she's returning just 3lb above her last winning mark.

Form: 19157-6

(2)

Merweb^p⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main| OR: 71

3/1

Just one win from 14 starts but has gone close in two runs this winter; particularly when only narrowly denied at 1m here last time out. Drop in trip will probably suit and gives the impression a return to the winners' enclosure is imminent.

Form: 250932-

(6)

Revolutionary Man^p,t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69

25/1

Yet to win in eight starts and has been in particularly poor form for his new yard. His best effort did come at this venue back in 2018 but he's hard to recommend at present.

Form: 327/560-

(5)

Full Intention^p⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: S Pearce| OR: 69| CD

15/8

All four wins have come on AW including a C&D success back in November. Has run two fair races in defeat since and could go well if he settles better than last time at Chelmsford.

Form: 577134-

(10)

Champion Brogie²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 66| CD

16/1

His latest two wins have come over this C&D and he was set very tough ask when 4lb out of the handicap last time out; this is easier but his wide draw isn't ideal.

Form: 641517-

(7)

Broughtons Flare¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: P J McBride| OR: 66| D

9/1

Sole win came on turf back in May and is paying the price for that success in handicapping terms since. Unsuited by a slow pace last time though and wasn't without support in the market; may do better.

Form: 67259-5

(3)

Hieronymus^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 63

25/1

Yet to win in 12 starts and has shown nothing in two runs for this new yard, both on AW; particularly hard to make a case for following his latest appearance.

Form: 42859-0

Atletico⁴

Weight: 9-6| Age: 8

T: P D Evans J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Full Intention (15/8), Merweb (3/1), Atletico (9/2), Broughtons Flare (9/1), Fantastic Flyer (11/1), Smokey Lane (14/1), Champion Brogie (16/1), Golden Force (16/1), Stringybark Creek (16/1), Little Palaver (20/1), Hieronymus (25/1), Revolutionary Man (25/1)

A tricky finale for punters to end the card but MERWEB is likely to be getting his head in front again at some point this winter and he could be well suited to this drop in trip. Broughtons Flare isn't ruled out having run better than the finishing position suggested last time while Fantastic Flyer ought to come on from her reappearance at Wolverhampton last time out.
