Way Of Life¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 80| CD

18/5

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, challenging over 1f out and keeping on. Entitled to go well again from same mark.

Sun Tracker⁴⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: L P Keniry| T: R T Phillips| OR: 79

40/1

Well-related sort who landed 6-runner French maiden (12.9f) last summer and best effort yet when fourth of 8 in minor event at Le Lion-d'Angers (11.4f) in August of last year. Changed hands for 62,000 gns/gelded after and market should prove useful on handicap debut.

Noble Anthem^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: O J Orr| T: A Keatley| OR: 79

11/2

Dual winner as a 3-y-o who has made a positive start for new yard, runner-up over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f) prior to a good third back on the level at Newcastle (12.5f) last week. On a handy mark if he can build on that here.

Daheer^t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| C

9/2

5-time course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago. Should give another good account.

Sid's Annie⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: M D I Usher| OR: 76| C| D

10/1

Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year at Newmarket (12f) in August. Recent efforts not all that inspiring, beaten a long way even allowing for the strength of opposition back at that venue in October.

Abu Royal¹³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 80

12/1

Confirmed previous promise when opening account at the third attempt in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May. Shade underwhelming in 2 handicap starts thereafter and since switched yards for 23,000 gns in July. Longer trip here may help.

Form: 62166

Bohemian Breeze²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| D

7/2

Latest win at Kempton in October. Seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) back at that venue (12f) 22 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Mark demands that little bit more.

Form: 401317

(4)

Sanction⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 72| BF| D

4/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in September. 15/8, fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 43 days ago, dropping away approaching final 1f. Better showing anticipated dropped back in trip on AW debut.

Form: 073114

Forecasts

Bohemian Breeze (7/2), Way Of Life (18/5), Sanction (4/1), Daheer (9/2), Noble Anthem (11/2), Sid's Annie (10/1), Abu Royal (12/1), Sun Tracker (40/1)

NOBLE ANTHEM hasn't always been one to hold it together but he confirmed the positives of his yard debut over hurdles with a good third in this sphere at Newcastle last week and he could just be worth siding with to confirm himself on a handy mark. 3-y-o filly Sanction back down in trip on AW debut is another high on the shortlist, with Daheer and Way of Life also expected to be in the mix.
