Red Windsor^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Henry Main| T: C Gordon| OR: 98

Sole success came over 2 years ago and arrives on back of poor effort, in first-time cheekpieces, at Warwick 16 days ago.

Form: PP08-39

Imperial Jade²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Elizabeth Gale| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 95

7/2

Largely disappointed last term but had ended previous campaign with victory at Chepstow (16.1f) and got back to that sort of form when creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle over same C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago. Returns to longer trip now and holds solid claims.

Form: 57606-3

Prairie Diamond^h⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 90

17/2

Bounced back to form when solid third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 83 days ago. 1 lb lower now and can't be ruled out.

Form: 406-383

Catboy^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J J Murphy-Knight⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89| BF

3/1

Off the mark at Fontwell (17.7f) in September and improved again when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f) last month. Unsuited by emphasis on speed at Fakenham latest and is one for shortlist.

Form: P-04125

The Punt³⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽³⁾| T: A E Jones| OR: 85

50/1

Second in sole bumper. Unable to make a significant impact over hurdles, though, including on handicap debut, and has lengthy absence to overcome.

Form: 2/653P-

Ryder's Rock^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Richard Upton⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 84

13/2

Newton Abbot winner in September who returned to form when respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 30 days ago. 1 lb lower now and warrants respect.

Form: 936153

Kentford Mallard^p¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Oscar Palmer⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 84| D

22/1

Failed to come on for return effort at Chepstow earlier this month and has something to prove at present.

Form: 62-4780

African Lady^b,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 84

20/1

Modest maiden who has made little impact in 5 starts for current yard. Tumbling in the weights but makes limited appeal.

Form: 48P066

Sassified^b³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Callum Pritchard| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 81

3/1

Operating below his best at present, including in first-time blinkers at Exeter latest, but is now 9 lb below his last winning mark and has the assistance of a promising claimer. Enters calculations.

Form: 698448

Too Sharp^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Lewis Saunders| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 76

16/1

Modest maiden hurdler who failed to improve on switch to handicaps in recent months. Hard to fancy.

Form: 94/P768

Forecasts

Sassified (3/1), Catboy (3/1), Imperial Jade (7/2), Ryder's Rock (13/2), Prairie Diamond (17/2), Too Sharp (16/1), African Lady (20/1), Kentford Mallard (22/1), Red Windsor (28/1), The Punt (50/1)

IMPERIAL JADE has dropped to a handy mark and made a pleasing reappearance at Chepstow last month. She gets the nod. Catboy and Sassified rate the principal dangers.
