Bint Havana Gold (M)
[P]
Three wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Chelmsford (7f) in October. Seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 28 days ago, again racing too freely. Handicapper has given her a chance.

Addarella (F)
Winner at Wolverhampton in November and followed up with a creditable third of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, when going with zest (headed final 100 yards). Should remain competitive.

Cooramook (F)
[P]
Maiden who went closest to breaking her duck over C&D in August. Back to form reverted to more positive tactics (with cheekpieces refitted) when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. Each-way claims if in same form w…

Griselda (F)
Yet to fire for current yard, 33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Leicester (5f, soft) 67 days ago. Questions to answer at present.

Lahina Bay (M)
Won at Bath (5f) in October and followed up over C&D the following month. Fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this course (5f, AW) 12 days ago, needing stiffer test. Return to 6f will help and she's on a workable mark.

All Too Beautiful (F)
Three wins from 11 runs last year. 9/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 19 days ago, just kept up to work late on. Progressing recently and ought to go well again in bid for hat-trick.
