On The Nose^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 46

9/4

Modest filly. Very good second of 7 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago, no match for winner. That took her record to 0-11, but she needs taking seriously nonetheless.

Form: 7-78952

Silver Bubble²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 48

11/2

Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 22/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and, having finished a close third in a handicap on her sole previous visit here in October, she's not discounted.

Form: 44-3890

Ellen Clacy^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 40

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 12 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking signicant improvement.

Form: 06-970

Huntsman's Moon²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

11/10

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f, good) 21 days ago. leaving the impression that a stiffer test wouldn't go amiss. Obvious chance on these terms.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 46

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (40/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and she needs a second look.

Forecasts

Huntsman's Moon (11/10), On The Nose (9/4), Silver Bubble (11/2), Quartet (12/1), Ickytoo (18/1), Ellen Clacy (20/1)

This race probably won't take much winning and HUNTSMAN'S MOON could be the way to go. It wasn't a particularly big step forward that he took when fifth on his handicap bow over a mile here three weeks ago, but it was a step forward nonetheless and he could take another now moving up in trip. On The Nose found just one too good over C&D last time and she should be in the mix once again, while Quartet is worth a second look, too.
