Cloud Cover^h³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: C Lee| T: J Tate| OR: 100| CD

5/2

Useful filly has won over C&D. Would have gone close to landing Listed success at Dundalk on penultimate run (trouble in running) but made amends to win 16-runner listed race at Deauville (7.4f, 53/10) 34 days ago. Definitely of interest now back in handicap company.

Moonspirit^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 96

5/2

Not disgraced when seventh of 16 in a Listed event at Deauville (9.4f) 30 days ago and again shaped as if she would be better over a mile, although has to be respected back in handicap company for top jockey and trainer combination.

Staincliff^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 90| C

9/1

Course winner who struggled at Listed level and then fared no better back in handicaps when sixth of 7 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 27 days ago. However there aren't many miles on the clock and she has place claims at a track she likes.

Form: 21/1576-

Take A Pull^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 88| D

28/1

1 win from 5 runs. Did well making the frame in Swedish Group 3 contest (1m, wore cheekpieces) in September. Headgear retained on return to AW when fourth of 7 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 20/1) 27 days ago. Can be competitive in an open looking race.

Glorious Angel⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 88| C| D

18/1

Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in April. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 22/1) 90 days ago, Significantly back up in trip and interesting jockey booking for her return to action following a short-break.

Red Maids⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: S D Bowen| T: M G Rimell| OR: 78| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in December, landing a hat-trick. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 9 days ago but left with too much to do off a slow gallop, made smooth headway and ran on. No surprise to see her bounce back here.

Form: 71113-7

Ghaihaban³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| BF| D

6/1

Career best when winning 9-runner novice (5/1) at Redcar (7f, good) in September, running on. Made handicap and AW debut after short break when third of 5 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) last month and shaped respectably (keen early) despite carrying head slightly awkwardly. Chance back at 7f today.

Liv My Life¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| D

33/1

Bounced back to her best when winning a 9-runner handicap (22/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago but work to do in a tougher race from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 9/0890-1

Callianassa⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

25/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 9/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. In good heart but this is a big step up in class and looks up against it from nearly a stone out of the handicap.

Form: 82824-4

Forecasts

Cloud Cover (5/2), Moonspirit (5/2), Red Maids (9/2), Ghaihaban (6/1), Staincliff (9/1), Glorious Angel (18/1), Callianassa (25/1), Take A Pull (28/1), Liv My Life (33/1)

CLOUD COVER has won and finished an unlucky third in two listed events of late and that form reads well on her return to handicap company. She gets the vote in a wide-open contest, with Red Maids taken to bounce back after a forgivable below-par effort last time and Ghaihban expected to appreciate the drop in trip to 7f.
