Andaleep^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 69| D

4/1

Fallen plenty in weights and firmly back on track to make a winning yard debut at Goodwood (9.9f) 2 weeks ago, leading around 1f out and always just holding on. Worthy of respect from 4 lb higher mark now.

Form: 5-75001

Star Of Valour^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: George Rooke| T: J Tizzard| OR: 66| C

7/1

Successful on return at Chepstow (7f, firm) 12 months ago and whilst winless since he ran up to best when third at Goodwood (9f) on his latest outing 2 weeks ago. Can give another good account provided he breaks on terms.

Form: 45-2403

Hooves Like Jagger¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62

20/1

Dual winner on turf last year who landed back-to-back 12f Wolverhampton handicaps earlier this year. Failed to make an impact at Kempton when last seen in March and present mark demands that little bit more back on turf. Hood left off.

Form: 04-7118

Diamond Jill^b⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 60

16/1

Proved largely consistent last year, doubling career-tally in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on Boxing Day. Creditable efforts in defeat thereafter (not seen to best effect when last seen) and she's an each-way player back from a break.

Form: 321-347

Rainbow Colours¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Elliott| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

14/1

Well on top at the finish when opening his account in a Ripon novice (6f) in September. However, he's failed to beat a rival in 2 starts so far this term and he's tough to assess now taking a marked step up in trip.

Form: 5215-05

Definite⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71

13/8

Kingman gelding who, equipped with blinkers, shaped as if worth a crack at this sort of trip when sixth in 13-runner handicap here (1m) in April, outpaced 4f out but staying on. Remains early days and he's one to consider for good yard.

Form: 467-6

(6)

Fylde Coast^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| BF

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden who kept on for fourth on return at Beverley (10f) and similar form when third at Pontefract (10f) since, albeit not convincing with his finishing effort. Cheekpieces go on now.

Form: 423-43

(3)

Gliding Bay¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: I Mohammed| OR: 70

11/1

Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced despite finishing last of 6 at Windsor (11.5f) 19 days ago, albeit seeming to lack a change of gear in the latter stages. Assessor is slowly relinquishing his grip at least.

Form: 826-546

(2)

Herbertandflorence⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Theodore Ladd| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 52

66/1

Maiden who continues to fall in the weights without suggesting he's willing to capitalise, never better than midfield under a change of tactics when seventh of 11 at Doncaster (7f) last week. Steps back up in trip now but others arrive with much more pressing claims.

Form: 4-75607

Definite (13/8), Andaleep (4/1), Fylde Coast (5/1), Star Of Valour (7/1), Gliding Bay (11/1), Rainbow Colours (14/1), Diamond Jill (16/1), Hooves Like Jagger (20/1), Herbertandflorence (66/1)

ANDALEEP proved another good advert for the Kubler stable when cashing in off his much-reduced mark at Goodwood 2 weeks ago and, remaining with handicapping scope on his old form, he could well be up to following up. Definite is less exposed than most and is feared stepping up in trip, whilst Star of Valour can also get involved with a repeat of his latest Goodwood third.
