Spring Chorus¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 57

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 17 days ago. Significant step up in trip ought to suit on pedigree but would need to see market confidence behind him on handicap debut.

Form: 450

Churchill Rose^p⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 56

3/1

Winner at Yarmouth (11.5f) in August. 9/2, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 51 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 457316

(3)

Foinix¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: J & S Best| OR: 55

25/1

Phoenix Reach gelding who shed maiden tag at Chelmsford (10f) in February. Mixed bag followed, well held fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f) back in July. Tom Marquand an eye-catching booking starting out for new yard though, so one to monitor in the betting.

Form: 125604

Upepo²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53

5/2

Below form tenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 14/1) 23 days ago, losing all chance on the back of a very slow start. Another arriving on the back of a yard switch and better showing not ruled out.

Form: 7-44600

(11)

Leazy Lindsay⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: M F Harris| OR: 52

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Improved when third on handicap debut at Leicester (11.8f) in August but not in same form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f) 56 days ago. However, less exposed than most here and not ruled out on polytrack debut.

Form: 66536

(12)

Sao Timothy^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R Stephens| OR: 49

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, good fourth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 20 days ago, headway entering straight and keeping on. Step up in trip worth exploring.

Form: 005-94

(2)

O' Dells Star^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 49

150/1

First run since leaving Karl Burke when seventh of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 305807

Queenmambo²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47

14/1

Maiden who has failed to figure in trio of starts following a break, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 3 weeks ago, outpaced from 2f out. Mark has eased a little more but she needs to step up again to figure.

Form: 424769

(8)

Irezumi^v1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 46

9/1

8/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 11 days ago, folding around 3f out. Visor replaces blinkers now.

Form: 055760

(10)

Alodia¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 46

8/1

9/2, very good second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 17 days ago. Can make presence felt with a repeat.

Form: 956562

(6)

Take My Breath²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Rooke| T: K Jewell| OR: 45

16/1

66/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Not one to give up on just yet from such a lowly mark.

Form: 067866

(9)

Two Plus Two^b⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

28/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago. Back up in trip. Must improve.

Forecasts

Upepo (5/2), Churchill Rose (3/1), Sao Timothy (10/3), Alodia (8/1), Irezumi (9/1), Queenmambo (14/1), Take My Breath (16/1), Spring Chorus (20/1), Foinix (25/1), Two Plus Two (28/1), Leazy Lindsay (33/1), O' Dells Star (150/1)

A winner at Yarmouth in August, CHURCHILL ROSE was far from disgraced in her follow-up bid at Southwell a month later and she looks one of the more solid options in a decidedly trappy affair. Sao Timothy and Alodia are a couple of others to consider, whilst Spring Chorus is also worth noting now her stamina is tested further on handicap debut.
