Sunderland Race Fields - 1st Dec 2024

This could well be plain-sailing for FAIR WELL (trap 1) as he should just need to tread carefully early to head the formation on greeting the judge. Imokilly Madam (trap 5) slips down in grade and she should be more competitive as a result. Lilly Rose (trap 4) will be looking to break free from the second the lids ping.

The presence of BAY CITY MAISIE (trap 2) is likely to ensure a cautious approach from the layers as she does look to have a standout chance today. Six Foot Putt (trap 4) should be on the premises when push comes to shove. Budges Girls (trap 6) shouldn't be too fazed by these and can put the cat amongst the pigeons.

NEWINN NEDDY (trap 3) is flushed with pride after his recent win and he can display the motivation required to put these to the sword. Kisumu (trap 5) looks to have fair claims and shouldn't be far away at the close of play. Annadown King (trap 6) will go for broke early and isn't without hope of making the frame.

This is an outstanding opportunity for WHAT A CEILIDH (trap 2) to deliver the goods and she shouldn't feel threatened by any of these for the duration of the contest. Brickkilnhennesy (trap 3) is fully tuned into the routine right now and can play second fiddle. Mustang Bruce (trap 1) is often backed blind and should be around at the medal ceremony.

HESNOCHARM (trap 1) should be highly motivated for this assignment and he gets a semi-confident vote to go about his business in fine fashion. Malibu Hondo (trap 4) holds sound credentials and he should be around at the business end. Slippy Izzy (trap 6) could well in the shake-up, so shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

The smell of success is still in the air so far as OAKVIEW DIVA (trap 1) is concerned and these could be put in their place also. Last Dance Capri (trap 6) races well to the opening turn and will be hopeful of stealing a march. Calton Bhoy (trap 5) can make the frame if enjoying the rub of the green.

This looks a perfect opportunity for CHOCTAW MUSA (trap 5), whose name can be on the winner's cheque if things go according to plan from the outset. Private Rosie (trap 6) has bragging rights after her recent success and won't throw the towel in. Shoot First (trap 1) is the sort that's up for a challenge, so merits respect.

CANYA ATMIDNIGHT (trap 3) will be looking to set a brisk tempo from the get-go against these and, if doing just that, can dig deep and fend them all off. Ballymac Xavier (trap 2) is a big runner on his overall profile and he can exert pressure on the selection. Walk On Buddy (trap 6) has been given a helping hand by the grader and it could make a difference.

Punters will only be too aware of the recent home victory of ALDO IT (trap 4) and could be justified in anticipating more of the same. You can't take the recent win away from Hi Tyson (trap 1), who won't go down lightly. Emers Blake (trap 6) can be thereabouts and looks a combination mixer.

This looks a fairly straight-forward task for SHINJIM MAGIC (trap 4) and he should take plenty of beating if enjoying the rub of the green. Punters swarm round Chasing Colbert (trap 5) like bees around honey and he could be the sting in the tail. Blue Banana (trap 3) can be in the thick of things from the outset.

It's pleasing to see MALL COULD DO (trap 6) has the winning mood and the good vibe could well continue against these. Zesty Lemon (trap 2) is progressing nicely out of season and should be making all the right noises soon. Fantastic Dear (trap 4) has the weaponry to be in contention at the death.

BAY CITY PHOENIX (trap 6) 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. Buddys Matt (trap 4) is probably the one to catch if starting brightly. Action is coming quite frequently for Enchanting Japan (trap 3) and she makes some appeal.
