Sheffield Race Fields - 30th Nov 2024

The confidence of HEADFORD DROOPY (trap 1) will be high following her recent success and she will fear few in this field either. The bookies tend to chalk up Annagh Tiger (trap 4) tentatively for a reason and he should make a bold show. Turbine Torin (trap 3) could well in the shake-up, so shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

There's never usually much value offered up by the bookmakers about ABIGAILS PADJOE (trap 6), but a win is a win as they say, and he looks too good for these. Frankton Sal (trap 3) had a recent taste of success and could well be hungry for more. Wellfield Blue (trap 2) will be in with a shout if things go to plan.

DIVASTAR (trap 6) seemingly has a great chance against these rivals and should only need a clear passage to knock them into next week. Effernogue Sky (trap 1) appears the main danger although a trouble-free passage is not assured. There's a reason for the good support that Darver Ninetysix (trap 3) attracts and he is in the mix.

CATUNDA SNIPER (trap 6) could be the subject of unprecedented demand such is his chance in this line-up, where a clear run could be all that is needed. Tommys Image (trap 1) has a good draw on the fence and can give the selection a run for their money. There may be those that underestimate Yououghttaknow (trap 2), but he could go okay.

The layers aren't expected to be flamboyant with their chalk, but that's because BURNPARK AMBER (trap 5) looks much the best in this field. Burrow Boston (trap 3) should be highly motivated and would probably step in if the selection messes up. Lilywhite Beauty (trap 6) shapes as though she has the necessary ability to be competitive at this level.

The odds of MAGNA PHOENIX (trap 3) are invariably kept on the short side given her ability within this grade and she has an excellent chance in this. Doris (trap 2) has a chance to lead but really needs to string them out. Farneys Select (trap 1) is ex-seasonal rest and clearly could up her game.

On the balance of overall form, FEARSOME JEWEL (trap 4) is the one they all have to beat and, it must be said, she may have got in very lightly here. It wasn't plain-sailing for Colrose Blue (trap 3) last time, but she still got the job done and is a threat. The winning run of Betsys Breeze (trap 2) sets a fair standard and she is not easily ruled out.

BLASTOFF BAMBI (trap 3) regularly comes in for significant demand and a similar scenario can be expected today as this is well within her compass. Travelingsoldier (trap 1) loves to hear the patter of paw steps in behind and would be a big player if leading up. Gracie Brae (trap 2) recently took the winner's prize and can't be ruled out.

It's not hard to get carried away about the prospects of SHEFFIELD BELLA (trap 1) here, as barring accidents or mishaps, she should find this a stroll in the park. If Colrose Star (trap 2) can lead and slip round unscathed she will make the selection work hard. You can't take the recent win away from Glenside Grace (trap 3) and she is a runner.

The laws of supply and demand are expected to dictate that RINGSEND ADELE (trap 4) will be sent off at short odds for a contest that she stands out in. Free Report (trap 3) looks sure to be an active player when it matters and has to be feared. The qualifying trials of Acomb Blossom (trap 5) have been pleasing and she enters the equation for sure.

The claims of DIRTY VELVET (trap 1) in this contest are as clear as the nose on your face and she should be the first to greet the judge. Last Dance Lydia (trap 5) has the ability to make plenty of noise and looks the main danger. Brumbys Blue (trap 3) picked up the winner's purse recently and has claims.

Don't go expecting too much value for STRONG KING (trap 6) today as his chance looks pretty standout and he will take some stopping with a run. It's hard not to include Droopys Racer (trap 4), who is entitled to play a part in the finish. There was plenty to like about the recent success of Dunham Irishjane (trap 5).
