Unforgiving Minute¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 87| CD

9/4

Talented performer who has done well for this yard, taking full advantage of a drop in class to win his last two starts in this grade here and at Lingfield (both 7f). Should mount another bold bid.

Form: 30-0911

(1)

Athassel²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 78| CD

6/1

AW specialist, winning 8 from 31 in his career so far (including 3 C&D victories) without every getting head in front on turf. Not at his best of late and needs to raise his game to defy this weight.

Form: 954805

(3)

Outer Space¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 77| D

5/1

Three-time AW winner who had been held in handicaps prior to finishing a 1¼L fifth behind Unforgiving Minute over 7f at Lingfield last time out. Now 4lb better off with that rival so likely to again make his presence felt.

Form: 669855

(8)

Tatlisu¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| BF| D

7/2

Best suited to this grade these days having struggled to get competitive in handicaps for some time. Didn't get the run of the race when fancied over 6f at Chelmsford last time and could be worth another chance over an extra furlong.

Form: 236203

(6)

Wahaab^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T J Murphy| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 70| D

12/1

Well-placed to win 7f handicaps for this yard during the autumn but his two most recent efforts have been below par, most recently at Chelmsford. Looks to have a stiffish task on these terms.

Form: 315149

(9)

Miracle Garden^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76| BF| C

7/1

Went a long time without winning but landed a handicap over 6f here in September and has been competitive over longer trips at Chelmsford since. Likely to give another decent account.

Form: 531325

(7)

Corporal Maddox^p,h²²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: R Harris| OR: 60| CD

16/1

Grand servant who was winning for the 13th time when landing a 7f handicap at Chepstow in the summer. Below that form twice since and, though he is a dual C&D winner, he faces a big ask on these terms.

Form: 528107

(2)

Light From Mars^p¹⁹²

Age: 12| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

16/1

Veteran campaigner who hasn't won for almost two years but went close over 7f at Kempton back in March. Returning from a near seven month absence here so others naturally appeal more.

Form: 8-30288

(10)

Latest Quest³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk| OR: 43| D

33/1

Won a maiden auction at Lingfield as a juvenile but has gone backwards since and well beaten off lowly marks in recent handicaps. Hard to make a case for on official ratings as he makes a tapeta debut.

Form: 743707

(4)

Seraphima^h⁴⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 41| C

50/1

Only win from 37 starts came in a low-grade 6f handicap here almost three years ago. Very moderate form when last seen in the summer of 2016, so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 498897-

Forecasts

Unforgiving Minute (9/4), Tatlisu (7/2), Outer Space (5/1), Athassel (6/1), Miracle Garden (7/1), Wahaab (12/1), Light From Mars (16/1), Corporal Maddox (16/1), Latest Quest (33/1), Seraphima (50/1)

Unforgiving Minute had little more than a length in hand of Outer Space (reopposes on 4lb better terms) when winning at Lingfield last month whilst he is 6lb worse off with TATLISU having beaten that horse by a similar margin over C&D previously. TATLISU since got no sort of run when heavily-backed for a similar event over an inadequate 6f at Chelmsford but can make amends here with Miracle Garden also respected dropping down in grade.
