Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 59| D

11/10

Thrived in recent weeks, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps (at 1m) in recent weeks. Deserving of extra credit for the latest of them 3 days ago and big shout in hat-trick bid under a penalty.

Annandale⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in October. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Versatile as regards trip and no reason why he won't give another good account.

Panama City^h,t⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: I W McInnes| OR: 60| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 12/1) 48 days ago, albeit not looking entirely straightforward. On a workable mark if building on that here.

Roman Harry⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60| BF

4/1

Winner in maiden at Laytown (7f) in September and cemented positive start for new yard when third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. Respected in present groove.

Jumeira Vision⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 58| D

10/1

3 wins from 16 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 6 days ago, dropping away final 1f. Comes here operating from last winning mark and another holding each-way claims.

Form: 470444

Ice Shadow¹⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: A D Brown| OR: 56| CD

66/1

Dual winner during 2023 who was clearly not 100% after 6 months off when last of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June. Returns with yard having displayed positive signs in recent weeks but she remains 3 lb above last winning mark.

Form: 18527-0

Ravenswing⁶⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Elliott| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 55

125/1

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 20/1), slowly away. Off 22 months. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson and betting likely to prove the best guide.

Form: 0000/44-

Martin's Brig^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: D Thompson| OR: 54| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 16/1, possibly needed the run after 3 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. No surprise to see him thereabouts.

Form: 871355

Al Shabab^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 56

4/1

5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 17 days ago, not clear run 2f out and keeping on final 1f. No forlorn hope now trying 1m for the first time.

Form: 899025

Wheres The Crumpet^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 53| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 17 days ago, no extra only close home. Another who can't be ruled out in present groove.

Form: 554012

Miss Idunn^b1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Mark Winn| T: P D Niven| OR: 54

100/1

25/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 68 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.
