Spirit Of Breeze (G)
[TP]
C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/4) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Groundsman (G)
[P]
Winner at Wolverhampton in September. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) 43 days ago. In the mix again.

Sands Of Havana (F)
First run since leaving Ollie Sangster when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 43 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Luminous Warrior (G)
FAV
[T]
Got back on track for his new yard when fourth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (7f) 34 days ago. That form is working out well so he's a player eased 1 lb here in his bid for a first victory.

Blue Empress (F)
[B]
Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 16/1, creditable 2 lengths third of 12 to Dandy Khan in handicap at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago. Needs considering.

Gundogan (G)
Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 17/2, solid fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, never nearer. Looks competitive on form.

Amarachi (F)
Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Yarmouth in June. First run since leaving Conrad Allen when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 14/1) 42 days ago. More is required.

Dandy Khan (F)
40/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago by 2 lengths from Chloe's Courage, well on top finish. Carries 6 lb penalty but not taken lightly in her current mood.

Donagh Murphy | J R Boyle | 3 | 59 kg |

Chloe's Courage (F)
[P]
22/1, creditable 2 lengths second of 12 to Dandy Khan in handicap at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

My Boy Jack (G)
On a long losing run but in decent nick, fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account.
