Prince Abu³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 55| D

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. After 10 weeks off, never landed a blow when sixth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 30 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 740876

Shadowfax⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

15/8

Made much more impact than previously this year when second of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (2m) a week ago. Capable of getting involved having been eased further in the weights.

Form: 4-64982

(6)

Velvet Vulcan²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 55

11/2

Ran well when third of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 28 days ago, taking third late on. Will need to find more as he goes further up in trip.

Form: 575-743

(2)

All About Alice³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Davies| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 52

7/1

Returned to her best when winning at Lingfield in August and backed up that effort when fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 16/5) 37 days ago. Major player.

Form: 295614

(11)

Abstract²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

33/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Failed to come on for recent run when eighth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago, though badly hampered approaching 3f out. Others still preferred.

Form: 156688

Das Kapital^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Faye McManoman| T: John Berry| OR: 50

50/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Well held after 13 weeks off when sixth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Has a bit to prove returned to this longer distance.

Form: 326846

(7)

Silver Atom^p³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 49

14/1

Maiden hurdler but made fourth start on Flat a winning one at Bath in September. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) in his follow-up bid 39 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 57814

(10)

Dame Sarra^b⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 53

5/2

Off the mark at Wolverhampton in July. Below form next time but has run creditably on her last 2 starts, second of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 46 days ago. Respected as she goes up in trip.

Form: 421622

(5)

Eaux De Vie^h1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Kirk| OR: 45

66/1

Never dangerous when fifth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago, very slowly away. Application of hood not enough to tempt.

Form: 0/88795

(9)

Two Plus Two^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: William Cox| T: E De Giles| OR: 46

40/1

Upped in trip, produced best effort to date when third of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 8 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort over this even longer distance.

Form: 285003

(8)

Alodia⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 46

22/1

Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 8 days ago, racing wide having been poorly drawn. Had run well on her previous start so could bounce back.

Form: 565629

Forecasts

Shadowfax (15/8), Dame Sarra (5/2), Velvet Vulcan (11/2), All About Alice (7/1), Prince Abu (14/1), Silver Atom (14/1), Alodia (22/1), Abstract (33/1), Two Plus Two (40/1), Das Kapital (50/1), Eaux De Vie (66/1)

On only her fourth start for her current yard, ALL ABOUT ALICE bounced back to her best when scoring at Lingfield in August and she ran well again when making the frame next time. She is taken to see off the challenge of Dame Sarra, who isn't taken lightly stepped up in trip, while Shadowfax also enters calculations.
