Lerwick²⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 77| BF| CD

7/1

Improved when opening his account over C&D in July and made frame next 2 starts, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) when last seen in August. Yard have made a good start to the campaign and he's respected on return.

Form: 4/47123-

Dumfries³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| D

12/1

9/1, first run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 33 days ago, pulling hard and weakening last ½f. That run ought to have brought him on and eased 1 lb ahead of this.

Form: 18434-5

(6)

Harswell Duke²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 72| D

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, fared better than of late when respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 20 days ago, plugging on. One to bear in mind from his much-reduced mark.

Form: 670-603

Mount King^p,t¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (8f, soft) in November, weakening final 1f. Possible this run will bring him on following 171 days off.

Form: 451515-

Highfield Viking^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 68

3/1

Showed benefit of his reappearance run (also blinkered) when winning 14-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 8/1) 13 days ago. Merits consideration with the distinct possibility of more to come.

Form: 4322-01

(2)

Farhhfromforgotten²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 67

66/1

First run since leaving K. R. Burke when seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft, 28/1) in September, slowly away and always behind. Needs to hit the ground running back from 7 months off.

Form: 3/47257-

(5)

My Honey B¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| D

28/1

Rattled off a hat-trick at Nottingham (8.3f) in August and not disgraced when fourth at Thirsk (1m) next time. Below best final 2 starts but slipped back down to last winning mark ahead of return and she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 111490-

Fiftyshadesaresdev²⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 63

22/1

Fair maiden handicapper on the Flat who ran to a modest level in trio of hurdle runs last winter. Absent since finishing down the field in 9-runner C&D handicap last July and others appeal more despite career-low mark.

Form: 55507/7-

(7)

Do I Dream⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: B Haslam| OR: 62| CD

5/4

C&D winner who confirmed promise of her C&D second when winning 9-runner handicap at Ripon (8f, heavy, 9/4) 4 days ago, edging ahead final 50 yds. Goes unpenalised for that success and well worth considering in present groove.

Form: 567-421

Forecasts

Do I Dream (5/4), Highfield Viking (3/1), Lerwick (7/1), Harswell Duke (8/1), Dumfries (12/1), Fiftyshadesaresdev (22/1), Mount King (22/1), My Honey B (28/1), Farhhfromforgotten (66/1)

DO I DREAM confirmed the promise of her C&D second when resuming winning ways at Ripon 4 days ago and, unpenalised for that success, she looks to hold sound claims of going in again for her in-form yard. Fellow last-time-out winner Highfield Viking is a big threat and along with Lerwick, heads up the dangers.
