Runners Spotlight

1
Overlooked
Favorite

24-race maiden but consistent type who went close at Newcastle in September and was a creditable third over C&D recently; mark hasn't really budged since August but strongly respected; new blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Jockey: P J McDonaldTrainer: Harriet Bethell
2
Dark Dreamer

Very well treated on his old form but last win was 19 months ago and he's been out of sorts in last four runs (6f); looks worth another try at this trip but he needs a major revival with tongue-tie added.

Jockey: Callum ShepherdTrainer: Mike Murphy
3
Lady Margret

Well held in three qualifying runs and was tailed off at another big price on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in October; still early days but she needs a transformation dropped to 7f for new yard.

Jockey: Jack DoughtyTrainer: Tony Carroll
4
Operation Gimcrack

Had a near miss in a Doncaster handicap (7f, good to firm) in August but he's gone the wrong way in four subsequent runs; overall record is now 0-15 and he needs to rediscover his spark after a break.

Jockey: David NolanTrainer: Bryan Smart
5
Up The Monk

Good start for Mick Appleby included a course win (6f) in August but his last three runs haven't been as encouraging; now 2lb lower than for his win but he needs to get back on track.

Jockey: Alistair RawlinsonTrainer: Michael Appleby
