Crayford Race Fields - 30th Nov 2024

A fair few punters will want a piece of the action with CLAIRES GRACE (trap 4) today and it's not difficult to see why. On form, she should oblige with ease. Hopalong Champ (trap 2) will appreciate the drop in class and is entitled to ask the selection a question or two. Ferndale Free (trap 3) can produce a good turn of foot and isn't without hope.

CLOHEENA RODNEY (trap 4) gets the five-star treatment to put these rivals in their place. If things go to plan, he can be home and hosed when greeting the judge. Droopys Finn (trap 3) should certainly be around at the close of play and looks the biggest threat. Swift Quincey (trap 1) is the probable leader so commands respect.

FOOTFIELD JOSIE (trap 3) is fairly new to these shores and will be better with experience, but that's not to say she won't be up to running a big race here. Orinoco Flow (trap 2) could well be the subject of market attention as she has a solid-enough chance. Hazelwood Mandy (trap 5) may have the desire for more following her recent win.

BALLYBOY SEAN (trap 5) is expected to exploit the drop in class to the full today. Expected to soon be handy, he can have matters in hand when it matters. Rahyvira Ivy (trap 2) has the weaponry to be in contention at the death and is rightly feared. Wicky Moe (trap 4) is entitled to consideration and could complete tricast money.

The claims of CRONODY HENDRIKA (trap 4) showing these rivals the way home look crystal clear and, as such, her odds are likely to be a trifle skinny. Millbank Rocco (trap 3) will appreciate this drop in class and can be the one to chase the selection home. Foxglove Bob (trap 2) should do better now dropping down the pecking order.

CRONODY SEIMI (trap 4) looks the part in this line-up and his backers are entitled to be brimming with confidence that he can be in control where it counts. Dalibar (trap 3) would be a serious threat if he avoids being snagged up early doors. Swift Paxton (trap 1) has been using up plenty of bookie's chalk and is in with a shout.

The bookmakers are likely to want to keep TOMMYS BIRDY (trap 3) on side, which will mean unattractive odds, but she is the one they all have to beat. It'll be no surprise to see Angel Whisper (trap 2) improve following season, so keep her on side. Livs Lassie (trap 4) is not out of it despite limited course knowledge.

With the bookmakers not being renowned for giving cash away, HARLEQUIN TOPGEE (trap 2) will be offered up at skinny odds as he looks to hold all the aces. Off of qualifying trials, Earls Diamond (trap 6) seemingly has what's required to win at this level, so she is feared. Airlie Luna (trap 3) obliged despite some problems en route latest so isn't out of this.

It's hard to look beyond AFFLECK SINNDAR (trap 5) as he is in a great frame of mind just now and is taken to have matters under control when it matters. Swift Alter (trap 3) will be up for the challenge and can give the selection plenty to think about. The bookies are often cautious when it comes to pricing up Baunaniska Abbie (trap 1).

SWIFT KIRSTY (trap 3) looks set to go off a short-priced favourite against these and it'll be disappointing if she can't claim top honours. Rough Knight (trap 4) has medal possibilities if things go to plan but he may just find the selection too good. Barkhams Enigma (trap 1) could find a bit on the clock and get amongst them.

The bookmakers are usually keen to keep ENDOVA DANCER (trap 1) on their side and that may prove a wise move as she looks to have sound claims here. Ascot Maisie (trap 2) won't be shy following her recent win and she looks the forecast link. Not One To Moan (trap 4) possesses plenty of shake, rattle 'n' roll and isn't without hope.

CHOICES PEARLS (trap 3) is the one that takes the eye in this contest in the hope she can negotiate the opening turns without any serious grief. Knockdrinna Lass (trap 4) is clearly one to keep an eye on being exposed round here and rates a danger. Clongeel Thomson (trap 5) has little margin for error from this trappy slot.
