Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 72

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles (though did pull very hard in that sphere). 13/2, first run since leaving Dan Skelton when bit below form third of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on.

10/1

Last of 5 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm). Off 8 months. Back down in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces and he's in good hands.

Covert Mission^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 71| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/1) 23 days ago. Likely to bounce back given overall AW record.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 72| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f) 68 days ago, though he didn't seem to be fully applying himself.

Brains^b²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 71| BF| CD

13/8

Three-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago, denied a clear run. Blinkers back on and he's weighted to strike.

Lost In Time¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D K Ivory| OR: 71

8/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago. Needs to cast that run aside.

Form: 4-24960

Faithful Spirit^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 60

33/1

33/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago. Didn't look an easy ride on that occasion but cheekpieces may help her cause.

Forecasts

Brains (13/8), Havana Goldrush (10/3), Covert Mission (7/2), Lost In Time (8/1), Mawkeb (10/1), Wholelotafun (10/1), Exciting News (12/1), Faithful Spirit (33/1)

Having attracted support, BRAINS was a lot better than the result at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, and with blinkers back on, everything looks in place for him to cash on a very handy mark. Covert Mission's AW record is a good one and he's likely to bounce back, with Mawkeb another to note back from an absence.
