Handicappers’ Nap
Tour Ovalie (3.45 Hereford)
Showed promise on his recent return at Wincanton, and with Isobel Williams able to use her 3lb claim, he appears to have a lot in his favor.
Steve Mason
Eyecatcher
Magico (2.57 Kempton)
Marco Botti’s colt impressed when coming from last to first to win over this course and distance in August, doing so with more ease than the margin suggests.
A similar patient ride in this large field could yield another success.
Steffan Edwards
The Punt Nap
Coup De Force (6.45 Southwell)
The Stuart Kittow-trained five-year-old put in a respectable effort at Kempton last time and is only 3lb higher for her comfortable course-and-distance win on her previous start.
Matt Rennie
Speed Figures
Irish Hill (3.05 Plumpton)
Paul Nicholls’ horses often need their first run back, so his Chepstow performance can be excused.
A return to the figures he posted in placed efforts at Newbury and Kempton last winter should be enough to secure a win here.
Craig Thake
West Country Nap
Non Stop (3.40 Plumpton)
A well-handicapped type whose best form comes on better ground.
The yard is currently in good form.
James Stevens
Dark Horse
Ocean Heights (2.57 Kempton)
Needs to put his latest run at this track behind him but has been consistently solid across both codes lately.
He’s back down to his last winning mark and could be a strong front-runner here.
