Enter Sandman (G)
[PT]
Has been in fine form, successful on all-weather at Newcastle and Lingfield and worn down only in the shadow of the post at Wolverhampton last time. Another 4 lb rise to deal with now switched to turf.
|
George Wood | R Spencer | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| — | 2 | 9 |
Tie Fighter (G)
[V1]
Acquired plenty of experience at 2 yrs and returned with a fair showing in a 6f Kempton maiden a fortnight ago that has already produced a winner. Visor goes on for belated handicap debut and not ruled out.
|
H Crouch | E A L Dunlop | 3 | 60.8 kg |

| 3rd | 3 | 4 |
Life After Love (F)
Made it 3 wins from her last 3 visits to Southwell last month, again showing a good attitude. Slow starts away from that venue a potential concern now she makes her first outing on turf but she can clearly be a force if breaking on terms.
|
D Egan | Ollie Sangster | 3 | 60.3 kg |

7/1
|
| 5th | 4 | 6 |
Bessie Wallis (F)
Won 5f novice on the polytrack here in October but struggled in handicaps next 2 starts 5 months apart and her mark still looks on the high side now switched to turf.
|
S M Levey | D Menuisier | 3 | 60.3 kg |

12/1
|
| 4th | 5 | 1 |
Solar Invincible (G)
[P]
Returned to winning ways at Bath at the start of last month but not in the same form there 3 weeks ago and needs to get back on track.
|
Owen Lewis | R A Teal | 3 | 59.4 kg |

| 7th | 6 | 8 |
Viking Glory (G)
[H1T]
Fair form in maiden/novice events between 6f and 1m for Adrian Keatley. On the back foot from the start on debut for James Owen at Windsor a fortnight ago but no surprise to see him fare much better here fitted with a hood.
|
William Carson | James Owen | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Red Snapper (G)
FAV
[P]
On the up since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Bath in October while he run a good race in a big-field 6f handicap at Ascot last time. This test will probably be too sharp for him, however.

Laura Coughlan | Kathy Turner | 3 | 59 kg |

Yes Waliim (G)
Again strong in the market on handicap debut/return at Windsor (6f) having had a breathing operation, but he was unable to make the improvement anticipated, looking a little short of pace. Jury out on him for now.
|
Oliver Hoodless | R Hughes | 3 | 58.5 kg |

18/1
|
| 8th | 9 | 5 |
Beach Partee (G)
[V]
Successful 3 times last year but has made a very tame start for new connections, failing to beat another rival in a couple of 5f handicaps (behind Solar Invicible at Bath and Life After Love at Southwell).
|
Mikkel Mortensen | S Dixon | 3 | 58.1 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 1st | 10 | 10 |
Adalida (F)
Maiden who posted another respectable effort at Windsor (6f) a fortnight ago and could find a race as she continues to drop in the weights.
|
Marco Ghiani | S C Williams | 3 | 57.6 kg |
