Cooramook³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 65

9/2

Still a maiden but arrives on the back of good runner-up efforts in handicaps at Lingfield (6f/7f) on last 2 starts. Another bold show is likely.

17/2

Tongue strap on first time, creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Has a race in him from this sort of mark.

Penelope Valentine^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: James Owen| OR: 65| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner for Alice Haynes. Struck at the second time of asking for the prolific James Owen yard at Wolverhampton (7f) in September. Only fourth of 8 at Newcastle since but still early days with this stable. First-time blinkers replace a visor.

Dandy G Boy^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: W Greatrex| OR: 63| BF| D

5/2

Winner at Wolverhampton (7f) in July. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 27 days ago, no extra late on. The return to 7f a help if anything and considered under De Sousa.

Just King High^h³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 60

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Off 13 months, well-held fourth of 5 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) on return 63 days ago but still no surprise were she to fare better in handicaps. One to note in the betting.

Form: 54-4

Equalised^b1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 55

Forecasts

Dandy G Boy (5/2), Equalised (7/2), Penelope Valentine (4/1), Cooramook (9/2), Rye (6/1), Ottawa (17/2), Improve Your Move (11/1), Apple Of My Eye (16/1), Jennifer Wren (28/1), Magna (40/1), Just King High (40/1), Havanita (80/1)

OTTAWA has shaped like a winner in waiting from this sort of mark in recent starts and is preferred to Cooramook, who has also been knocking on the door lately. Silvestre De Sousa's mount Dandy G Boy completes the shortlist.
