11:45 – Monsieur Fantaisie

MONSIEUR FANTAISIE took a step back in the right direction when second at Southwell three weeks ago, attracting support and appreciating the step back up to six furlongs, so he might prove the answer to the first division of this classified event. Red Walls arrives in good nick and is second choice ahead of Ruth Carr’s Hard Solution, who should be sharper for last month’s comeback outing at Wolverhampton.

12:15 – Jacquelina

JACQUELINA managed to win a five-furlong handicap at Chepstow in the summer and she has relatively held her form well since. She was well backed and didn’t run badly when hitting the frame at Wolverhampton last time, probably doing a tad too much in front. She drops into classified company now and may be worth chancing back over six furlongs. Bear To Dream and Coast look dangers.

12:45 – Enpassant

ENPASSANT remains a maiden, but he has been knocking on the door since switching to handicaps of late, finishing first past the post at Newcastle in October and finishing placed in every other run, so he is taken to deservedly get his head in front. All Agleam has a similar profile to the selection and should be bang there again. Morning Suit is another who should have a part to play, while Novation is a handicap newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.

13:15 – Chapman

It might be worth taking a chance on the stamina of CHAPMAN, who moves up to a mile for the first time, as he has been performing creditably since switching to handicaps. He is quite speedily bred, but shapes as though the longer trip shouldn’t pose a problem, especially at this speed-orientated track. Desert Raider is an obvious danger for the Charlie Johnston stable, while Laser Sharp and Ventura Empress are possible improvers in handicaps.

13:45 – Fox Power

FOX POWER has dropped to a lenient mark, his last win coming over the extended mile at Wolverhampton from a BHA mark of 83, so he could be worth a chance to bounce back to form having rejoined his former stable since last seen at Yarmouth 80 days ago. The in-form Hul Ah Bah Loo should be involved if he gets the breaks and Intricate Pillar can’t be dismissed.

    14:15 – Dalrymple

    DALRYMPLE shaped with plenty of encouragement at a big price on her first outing for this stable on her handicap debut at Kempton last month and, with more to come upped in trip, she’s preferred to the more exposed Pink Lily, who scored again over course and distance 22 days ago. Shalfa is also considered.

    14:45 – See That Storm

    This isn’t a strong novice and SEE THAT STORM has a good chance to make it two from two if he can build on the form he showed when scoring here on debut. That may not have been a strong event, but he was well supported, and almost certainly has more to offer. There is more to come from Lavender Hill Mob and he’s feared, while Thorntonledale Max could go well first time up, too.

    15:15 – Upepo

    UPEPO wasn’t seen to best effect at Southwell last month, not the best away from the stalls, but travelling through the contest better than most, and the race developed away from him in the straight. He is expected to quickly resume winning ways now reunited with Rossa Ryan and back at the scene of his win in October. Mr Trick has had a good spell lately and is feared most ahead of last-time-out course and distance seconds Placated and Alghazaal.

    15:48 – The Conqueror

    THE CONQUEROR didn’t go up much despite scoring with a bit to spare over course and distance last time and he’s still thrown in on past efforts, so he’s fancied to go in again over a trip that he remains totally unexposed at. The well-treated Curtiz looks a threat and Louisiana Bay is worthy of respect.
