|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th | 1 | 5 |
Epictetus (G)
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 38 days ago, not clear run. Would have a leading chance off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Midnight Rumble (G)
Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 50/1) 29 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others make more appeal.

Knockbrex (G)
Latest win at Newcastle in November. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there.

Sheriff's Court (G)
[H1]
Winner at Carlisle in July. 4/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 20 days ago. Hopes now pinned on the hood working the oracle.

Melek Alreeh (G)
9/2, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) when last seen in September. Likely to find one or two too good.

Time Tested (G)
FAV
[T]
Three wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 64 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

Alpine Oasis (M)
First run since leaving K. R. Burke when bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 29 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive.

67-8407 | Darragh Keenan | Darryll Holland | 5 | 56.7 kg |

Jodhpur Blue (G)
Very good fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Something to find on form.
