Losing run mounting up and while he was placed on 3 lb higher at Cartmel in August, he followed that a brace of heavy defeats. Hopes rest on drop in trip.

Fair on the Flat at up to 14.5f for Hugo Palmer and continued theme of major race-by-race progress when making a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter in July. Could have more to offer for leading yard.

7/1
Winner of sole start between the flags a year ago. Best effort of his 4 under Rules so far was when fourth of 13 in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f, heavy) in April but back over 2m having been brushed aside on handicap debut (made mistakes).

9/2
Posted best effort in this sphere when creditable second of 9 at Market Rasen (18.5f, good to firm) in September. Has followed that with a couple of low-key efforts over longer trips but perhaps this return to shorter will help him get back on track.

Down in the weights and set to produced most encouraging effort yet in handicaps when falling late at Sedgefield a month ago. Probably booked for second that day so one to consider.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Harry & Roger Charlton but well held over hurdles and efforts on the level for this yard hardly encouraging, either.

Caught the eye when fourth in a race at Newcastle that worked out well and belied 10-month absence when successful over the same C&D 12 days ago. May well have more to offer.

Back-to-back winner in 2021. Hasn't stood much racing since but cashed in on falling mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel in August. Never really looked like following up at Sedgefield.

Still a maiden but produced best effort yet for current yard when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in June. Fitter for return when fourth at Sedgefield a month ago.

Forecasts

Mister Smarty (7/2), Double Oban (7/2), Opera King (9/2), Treasured Company (5/1), Lahire (6/1), Let's Sail Away (7/1), Kellie's Dream (10/1), Milajess (16/1), Vocal Duke (18/1), Lillistar (66/1), Nut Wood (66/1)

15:20 Wetherby - 26 December 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

DOUBLE OBAN was much improved on what was a quick switch to handicap company when successful at Uttoxeter this summer and is fancied to pick up where he left off for his excellent yard. Mister Smarty is also going the right way so he commands respect, along with Lahire.
