Noble Order⁴⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 84| BF| D

10/3

Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form third of 10 in handicap (4/7) at Kempton (8f), needing stronger gallop. Off 15 months ahead of this debut for new yard and he merits consideration.

Form: 2213/

(3)

Qaasid^v³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 84| C| D

8/1

Course winner. 15/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 30 days ago. Down in trip and others are more persuasive.

Form: 23232-0

(5)

Titan Rock²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 84| D

9/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/1) 27 days ago, met some trouble. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 2204-39

(6)

Oliver Show^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (7.1f, 13/2) 13 days ago, driven out. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he should have a part to play.

Form: 1430-21

(1)

Dingle³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 82| CD

7/1

Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap (4/1) at this C&D 32 days ago by ½ length from Oliver Show. Meets the latter on 1 lb better terms and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 1364-91

(4)

Afterwards⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 82| CD

28/1

Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/2) 43 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Something to find on form.

Form: 2154-6

(12)

Hortzadar^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 6/1, creditable length fourth of 9 to Trais Fluors in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 2013-54

(10)

Gainsbourg^p¹⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: D Bourke| OR: 77| D

150/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 101 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 811707-

(2)

Crownthorpe⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁷⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 77| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 20/1) 59 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 152047-

(8)

Hale End^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 76| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 11/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 435-185

(9)

Trais Fluors²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 75| CD

28/1

12/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, suited by way race developed. Circumstances may not be so favourable this time and 3 lb rise could be enough to stop him in his tracks.

Form: 215-401

(11)

Enola Grey⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 74| CD

12/1

Dual C&D winner in December. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap back here (7.1f, 6/1) 4 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Minor place money possible back at her optimum trip.

Form: 11-2745

Forecasts

Oliver Show (3/1), Noble Order (10/3), Dingle (7/1), Hale End (7/1), Qaasid (8/1), Titan Rock (9/1), Hortzadar (10/1), Enola Grey (12/1), Crownthorpe (28/1), Trais Fluors (28/1), Afterwards (28/1), Gainsbourg (150/1)

DINGLE regained the winning thread when proving ½-length too strong for Oliver Show over C&D last month and he looks capable of defying a 2 lb rise in the weights. The latter went one better here next time and should be in the mix once again but Dingle may have most to fear from Noble Order, who showed plenty of promise in his four starts for Charlie Appleby and is of interest on debut for new connections, despite the lengthy absence.
