Alibaba^h1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 55

10/3

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 36 days ago, going off too hard. Hood on 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 83577-8

Reverberation²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr E Cagney| T: J S Moore| OR: 55| CD

7/4

15/8, won 8-runner handicap at this course (8f) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and, with a 3 lb rise fair enough, he has to enter calculations.

Form: 04915-1

Escobedo^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 55

6/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 16/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's likely to be in the mix once more.

Form: 964/46-3

(11)

Global Tycoon¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Lewis Kent⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 53| BF

12/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 9/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 10 days ago. Likely to find a few too good.

Form: 33416-8

Midgetonamission³¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Megan Wingrove⁽⁵⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 53| D

66/1

12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW), folding. Off 10 months ahead of this debut for new yard and she's opposable.

Alice Kitty^b,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: M Crawley| OR: 53| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago. Sports blinkers for the first time in this sphere and she needs considering off a reduced mark with Simon Walker booked.

Form: 630V0-9

(9)

Pittsburg^t¹⁰⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss E McGarty-Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 49

40/1

11/1, below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, soft) 108 days ago. Off 108 days and, below par on his latest start in this sphere, he needs to bounce back.

Form: 983636-

Dark Company^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Tilly Evans⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 49| D

16/1

Untrustworthy individual. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 22/1) 11 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 8507-46

(4)

Ashmore^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Abel O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 47

22/1

Seventh of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 10/3) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and hood refitted. Hard to warm to.

Form: 0004-57

(7)

Stormingin^b³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Ella Smart-Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 46| CD

9/1

Ungenuine type. C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 36 days ago, missing break. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 36275-8

(10)

San Juan²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Jodie Wingrove⁽⁷⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 45

150/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, last of 11 in minor event at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm). Off 8 months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 553900-

(8)

Peruvian Sunset^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Adam O'Shea⁽⁵⁾| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 45

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 31 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 875-7

Forecasts

Reverberation (7/4), Alibaba (10/3), Prince Hector (4/1), Alice Kitty (5/1), Escobedo (6/1), Stormingin (9/1), Global Tycoon (12/1), Dark Company (16/1), Ashmore (22/1), Pittsburg (40/1), Midgetonamission (66/1), Peruvian Sunset (125/1), San Juan (150/1)

It could be worth chancing ALICE KITTY, who hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late but she's now 6 lb below the mark off which she hit the target over this C&D last spring and the booking of Simon Walker is another positive factor. Reverberation is 2-2 here and remains fairly treated, so he has to be high on any shortlist, while Escobedo is best of the rest.
