New! Arabian Spirit
- 5-year-old bay gelding
- Oasis Dream – Royal Flame (Royal Academy)
- Trainer: Richard Fahey, Malton
- Timeform Says: A good-quality 7f/1m handicapper for Ed Dunlop at his best, he rather lost his way in 2009 and was purchased at the Newmarket Autumn Sales. Hopefully, a change of yards will see him rejuvenated and, if that does prove to be the case, he’ll start 2010 on a very favourable mark.
Bescot Springs
- 5-year-old bay gelding
- Saddlers' Hall - Silver Glen (Roselier)
- Trainer: Philip Hobbs, Minehead
- Timeform Says: Brother to the useful hurdler Pause And Clause. Second to the highly regarded Peddlers Cross in a good bumper at Haydock first time out and fourth over hurdles at Exeter on his latest start.
Dubai Creek
- 4-year-old bay gelding
- Cape Cross – Humilis (Sadler’s Wells)
- Trainer: D McCain Jnr, Cholmondeley
- Timeform Says: Bought out of Mark Johnston’s stable at the Doncaster October Sales. A choicely-bred gelding who cost 290,000 gns as a yearling. Has finished 2nd in maidens on both his starts on the Flat for the Club.
Marsool
- 4-year-old brown gelding
- Key of Luck – Chatifa (Titus Livius)
- Trainer: D McCain Jnr, Cholmondeley
- Timeform Says: Bought out of Marcus Tregoning's stable (raced only twice on the Flat) at the Newmarket July Sales to go juvenile hurdling. Has followed up a promising second on his hurdles debut with wins at Newton Abbot and Huntingdon. Photograph by member C. Nack
Miss Zooter
- 3-year-old bay filly
- Intikhab – Laraissa (Machiavellian)
- Trainer: R. Beckett, Hampshire
- Timeform Says: Named by a member. Sister to the multiple winner Raza Cab out of an unraced daughter of a useful French 1m winner. After showing promise in two starts in maidens she got off the mark at Leicester in October.
Saharia
- 3-year-old bay gelding
- Oratorio - Inchiri (Sadler's Wells)
- Trainer: Jeremy Noseda, Newmarket

Sitwell
- 4-year-old bay gelding
- Dr Fong – First Fantasy (Be My Chief)

New! Unnamed
- 2-year-old bay colt
- Elnadim - Last Impression (Imp Society)
- Trainer: Tom Dascombe, Malpas
- Timeform Says: Speedily-bred colt who’s been purchased with the idea of being out early and, hopefully, making hay before the big guns start firing. Previously based in Lambourn, Tom has moved to Cheshire to be part of an exciting new venture backed by football star Michael Owen and Betfair founder Andrew Black.
New! Unnamed
- 2-year-old chestnut filly
- Bahamian Bounty – Winter Ice (Wolfhound)
- Trainer: Tom Dascombe, Malpas
- Timeform Says: The eighth foal of a prolific mare by the sire of Pastoral Pursuits and Goodricke, she was also purchased with the intention of being vigorously campaigned through the first half of the 2010 season. Tom trained 3 individual 2-y-o winners for the Club in 2009 including the listed winner Ruler of My Heart.
