|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 1 | 8 |
Mesaafi (G)
FAV
[B]
Course winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/3) 14 days ago. Can make his presence felt off an unchanged mark.
|
Paddy Bradley | R Burdon | 5 | 61.2 kg |
3.13
85/40
|
| 12th | 2 | 4 |
Coronado King (G)
Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Wolverhampton in October. 7/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Looks vulnerable.
|
Hollie Doyle | A Watson | 5 | 60.8 kg |
21
20/1
|
| 11th | 3 | 3 |
Pineapple Island (M)
33/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 3 days ago and she's hard to warm to on this occasion.
|
D Swift | S Spencer | 7 | 60.3 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 4th | 4 | 9 |
Bonnie's Boy (G)
C&D winner in October. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. The headgear is discarded this time and he will be a threat if able to bounce back.
|
D Nolan | R A Fahey | 4 | 59.4 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 3rd | 5 | 1 |
Juan Les Pins (G)
Twenty five runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on latest start in September, met some trouble. Down another 2 lb and he has to enter calculations.
|
Alistair Rawlinson | M Appleby | 9 | 59.4 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 1st | 6 | 7 |
King's Crown (G)
[TP]
C&D winner. Five wins from 25 runs last year, the latest here in November. 16/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Live each-way chance. Yard also saddles Darlo Pride.
|
Sean Kirrane | M Dods | 6 | 59 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 5th | 7 | 11 |
Dandy Magic (F)
Course winner. Latest win here in November. Eighth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at this course (6f) 13 days ago. In good form prior to that and she can't be safely discounted.
|
Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 4 | 58.5 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 6th | 8 | 2 |
Lion's House (G)
Course winner. 8/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others make more appeal.
|
Kaiya Fraser | Miss L A Perratt | 5 | 57.6 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 9th | 9 | 10 |
Dark Kestrel (G)
[T]
C&D winner in October. 9/2, 5 lengths eighth of 9 to Hover On The Wind in handicap back at this C&D 27 days ago. One or two of the others look more solid.
|
Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 6 | 57.6 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 2nd | 10 | 6 |
Blue Lakota (G)
C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 44 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
Warren Fentiman | K A Ryan | 4 | 57.2 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 7th | 11 | 5 |
Hover On The Wind (G)
16/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb rise fair enough and while more will be needed in this higher grade, he will have a chance if in a similar mood.
|
Barry McHugh | P T Midgley | 6 | 57.2 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 8th | 12 | 12 |
Darlo Pride (G)
[TP]
C&D winner. Respectable 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Hover On The Wind in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's not without each-way hope.
|
Rhys Elliott | M Dods | 6 | 55.8 kg |
