(10)

One More Dream²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72| BF| D

7/2

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Probably remained in form when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, evens) 25 days ago. Worth another chance to prove this revised mark is in reach.

Form: 791113

(8)

Granary Queen^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72| C| D

5/2

Course winner. 4 wins from 16 runs this year. Went like the best horse at the weights when second of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 6 days ago, left with too much to do. Can make amends today.

Form: 217232

Dion Baker^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 70

(9)

Starshiba^v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| D

7/1

One win from 27 Flat runs. Again ran creditably when third of 12 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Others more persuasive for win purposes.

Form: 726743

(5)

Broxi^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: D K Ivory| OR: 68| D

15/2

3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in October. Probably remained in form back on all-weather when fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 18/1) 3 weeks ago, doing plenty on the front end.

Form: 531115

(1)

Ajrad¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67| CD

10/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/2) 18 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Up 3 lb and should go well once again.

Form: 051631

(11)

La Rav⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁷⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 67| C| D

6/1

Had a bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (8f, AW, 11/4) 8 days ago, finding plenty to lead final 50 yds after very slowly away. Needs things to go his way but remains of interest from the same mark.

Form: 344301

(3)

Otto Oyl¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: A Watson| OR: 56

40/1

3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. 8/1, never a threat when 5¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Ajrad in handicap at this C&D (AW) 18 days ago.

Form: 180078

Forecasts

Granary Queen (5/2), One More Dream (7/2), La Rav (6/1), Starshiba (7/1), Broxi (15/2), Ajrad (10/1), Whirlwind (14/1), Dreams Of Thunder (16/1), Dion Baker (40/1), Otto Oyl (40/1), Inevitable Outcome (50/1)

This can go the way of GRANARY QUEEN, who went like the best horse at the weights but ultimately was left with too much to do at Chelmsford last Thursday. She can regain with winning thread at the expense of La Rav, who typically did a fair bit wrong but had enough in hand to get up late in the piece here 8 days ago. Recent C&D winner Ajrad and Starshiba complete the shortlist.
