Mukaafah^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 90| BF| D

15/2

Latest win at Doncaster in May. Disappointed after 11 weeks off (gelded in interim) when eighth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago, finding little. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 41-6108

Azure Angel¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 89| D

6/1

Confirmed herself as back in form when third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Place claims on form but drawn wider than ideal.

Paws For Thought^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 89| D

25/1

Latest win at Chester in September. Not in same form when twelfth of 22 in Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Has his work cut out from widest stall.

Form: 612410

The Green Man^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Parr| OR: 89| D

25/1

40/1, shaped as if better for the run after 12 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Headgear back on and this run should reveal more.

Form: 13380-5

Ararat⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: D M Simcock| OR: 87

10/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark for the year in 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/2) just over 6 weeks ago, making all. 5 lb higher and that shouldn't prevent a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 31-9261

(6)

Aramram¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

2/1

Latest win at Doncaster in September. Ran at least as well in defeat when second of 22 in Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 2 weeks ago, no match for thriving winner who was completing a 6-timer. This much less competitive and he's high on the shortlist on all-weather debut.

The Thames Boatman^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 10/3, proved at least as good as ever in picking up a third win of the year in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Makes plenty of appeal once again nudged up a further 3 lb.

Form: 441671

Lion's House³⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Farragher| T: R Varian| OR: 85| CD

6/1

Oasis Dream gelding who looked above average when making a winning start at Newcastle last November. Confirmed that positive impression by defying a penalty over C&D the following month but not seen since. Open to further progress now handicapping for a top yard.

Form: 11-

Ingra Tor¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 84| D

10/1

7/2, ended long losing run in 11-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight ago. Just 2 lb higher so looks competitive on form.

Form: 633731

Intervention²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 84| CD

12/1

5-time course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Confirmed return to form when fourth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (6f) 4 weeks ago. Interesting from this sort of mark and he's well berthed in stall 1.

Form: 636534

Lequinto⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 80| C| D

80/1

Quirky sort. Course winner. 8/1, ran poorly when seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Eligible for lesser races than this so best to look elsewhere.

Form: 260-887

(2)

Zarzyni^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 79| D

22/1

11/2, given a chance by the handicapper and duly ended a long losing run in cosy fashion in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Remains well treated on old form.

Forecasts

Aramram (2/1), Azure Angel (6/1), Lion's House (6/1), Mukaafah (15/2), Ingra Tor (10/1), Ararat (10/1), The Thames Boatman (10/1), Intervention (12/1), Radio Goo Goo (14/1), Zarzyni (22/1), Paws For Thought (25/1), The Green Man (25/1), Lequinto (80/1)

An open-looking sprint but the suggestion is ARAMRAM, who ran a cracker when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup behind one who was completing a 6-timer a fortnight ago and Richard Hannon's colt can make a winning start on the all-weather. Second choice is The Thames Boatman, who proved at least as good as ever in picking up a third win of the year at Lingfield last month, with Ingra Tor and the returning unbeaten Lion's House both of interest, too.
