Rose Fandango^p,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 60| D

16/1

25/1, won 2-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Hard to quantify what that form is worth and she's not certain to back it up.

Form: 60/8-971

Fayasel^p⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 59| D

11/2

100/1, sixth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 78 days ago, lame. Rejoined yard after leaving Stuart Edmunds. Others are more appealing.

15/2

Latest win at Lingfield in November. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 34 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Had been in top form previously and should get back on track if the pace is sound.

18/1

Forecasts

Heerathetrack (4/1), Alexander James (5/1), Fayasel (11/2), No News (13/2), Dors Toyboy (13/2), So Chic (15/2), Roger Henry (10/1), Daphne May (10/1), Poetic Jack (12/1), Bo Taifan (14/1), Rose Fandango (16/1), Fai Fai (18/1)

SO CHIC had been shaping up well prior to an excusable run (poor position) at Lingfield last time and, if the race is run to suit, she might be able to pick them up with a strong late challenge. No News is an obvious player following a good second at Kempton and Heerathetrack is another one who should bounce back having not been seen to best effect last time.
