Pals Battalion^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| CD

5/2

Better than ever when winning over C&D 22 days ago, made headway over a furlong out and stayed on well to lead inside final furlong. Has to enter calculations again.

Form: 514221

Mahato^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| BF| D

17/2

Lightly-raced winner. 11/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap here (7.1f) here in November, left poorly placed. Tongue strap on first time when running as well as ever back at 6f two weeks ago. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 14-2562

(11)

Admiral D¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

9/1

Ungenuine type. 16/1, respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last month but no impression when well-beaten at Southwell two weeks ago (7.1f). Back down in distance today.

Form: 600279

(3)

Modern Times^t,v¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 75

40/1

Maiden. Had first-time visor added to regular tongue tie when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and others more persuasive.

Form: 200309

(2)

Caffu Zafeen¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D M Simcock| OR: 74

4/1

Cemented positive start to his career when runner-up for the third time at Chepstow in a maiden, clear of the rest. Ran with credit on handicap debut for James Tate, beaten two lengths when fourth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (raced keenly) in September. Chance if settling on debut for new yard.

Form: 92224

(9)

Swift Storm^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 74

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, fourth of 7 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 37 days ago, slowly into stride on that occasion. Back in distance today but needs to improve significantly to trouble market principals.

Form: 3-334

(1)

Beale Street¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 73| CD

11/2

Two-time C&D winner, including latest win here 11 days ago when held up off a good pace, taking it up with a furlong to run and scoring by 3/4l. Remains unexposed as a sprinter.

Form: 734141

(5)

One More Dream¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 73| CD

28/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. Again below form when tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 550000

(4)

Angel Of England^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 71| D

10/1

Creditable second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this course (6f) last month and respectable effort here back up in trip (took keen hold) 25 days ago. Can be competitive if settling better.

Form: 528426

(8)

Showtime Mahomes¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 70| BF| D

17/2

Winner at Southwell in November. 11/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) earlier in the month before running creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (5/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago, when well-backed. Can run well again.

Form: 546134

(6)

Evocative Spark¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J Riches| OR: 70| D

28/1

Not disgraced on first run for new yard (left James Owen) when fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the mix again.

Form: 074145

Forecasts

Pals Battalion (5/2), Caffu Zafeen (4/1), Beale Street (11/2), Showtime Mahomes (17/2), Mahato (17/2), Admiral D (9/1), Angel Of England (10/1), Swift Storm (12/1), One More Dream (28/1), Evocative Spark (28/1), Modern Times (40/1)

PALS BATTALION can once again confirm his superiority over Showtime Mahomes, the pair having met here 22 days ago, while Caffu Zafeen is an interesting new recruit for the David Simcock yard.
