Harvest Day²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

9/2

Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 23 days ago, slowly away. Still has handicapping scope based on old form, so worth a chance to follow up.

Winner at Kempton in September. Tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Tricky sort who needs everything to drop right.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 9/2, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations.

7/2

4/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Fairly treated, so could make his presence felt if he settles better than last time.

12/1

Sixth of 7 in seller at Redcar (8f, soft, 7/1) 65 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Quite reliable on synthetics, so not one to rule out in a thin race.

11/1

3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Not discounted from a handy mark.

Zenzero^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: D O'Meara| OR: 52| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 27 days ago. Had been in good form prior to that, so shouldn't be written off.

Form: 516150-

Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable even if back on his game.

Pallas Lord (7/2), Abnaa (7/2), Harvest Day (9/2), Whatzupwithme (9/1), Zenzero (9/1), Bobby Joe Leg (11/1), Wabbal (11/1), Palazzo (12/1), Mabdaa (25/1), The Mackem Torpedo (25/1), Mashaan (28/1), Power Player (33/1), Perfect Soldier (80/1), Elspeth Rose (100/1)

HARVEST DAY isn't exactly bombproof given her tardiness at the start, but she scored with a bit in hand over C&D last time and still looks well treated after a small rise, so she's a solid choice to go in again faced with some sketchy opposition. Abnaa is pretty consistent (wasn't seen to best effect last time), so he's likely to be involved in the finish, and Bobby Joe Leg can't be ruled out.
