Let's Be Happy^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: A Stronge| OR: 68| BF

20/1

Dual winner on Tapeta at Wolverhampton in the summer, but failed to translate that form back to hurdles at Uttoxeter earlier this month. May do better back on AW, and not ruled out.

Form: 4-56112

Majrooh^b,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: G Peckham| OR: 67

12/1

Visored when a good second in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in August, but hasn't repeated that in two runs since, and switch to blinkers was no benefit last time. Must bounce back.

Form: 742269

Vincent's Forever⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: E De Giles| OR: 67| CD

20/1

Not really fired since joining current yard from David Pipe, but had wind surgery mid-season, and ran a bit better when third of 5 to Naqaawa at Leicester last time. Needs to build on that, but not dismissed.

Form: 774053

Miss Blondell³⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 65| C

12/1

Lightly raced since winning a 7f maiden here as a 2-y-o, and improved tackling 1m2f for first time when second at Lingfield a year ago. Absence since is a worry, but market should prove a good guide.

Form: 5174/62-

Mouchee³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 70

100/1

Won a Windsor seller in July for Dave Evans, but not much encouragement in three runs for current yard, including over hurdles.

Form: 245218

(8)

Running Cloud^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 70

10/3

Yet to add to debut success, despite a number of creditable efforts. Eased in the weights prior to latest second at Leicester a week ago, and claims if in the same mood now.

Form: 225572

(12)

Sotomayor^b,t⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 69WS

25/1

Put some disappointing efforts in handicap company behind him when beaten a neck in a 1m2f claimer at Windsor in July, but followed that with a shocker at Newbury, and others safer.

Form: 265628

(10)

The Pinto Kid^t⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 69

16/5

Only just failed when dropped back to 1m4f at Lingfield at the start of last month; proving this sort of trip suits ideally, and he looks to have a fine chance of shedding his maiden status.

Form: 75562

(2)

Pilot Wings²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 69

9/4

Went close at Salisbury in June, and put a poor Haydock effort behind him when ½L second of 10 to Lexington Empire in 1m1½f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Seems to be getting his act together, and respected.

Form: 963502

(4)

Ready¹⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 62

25/1

Placed twice at up to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) in the spring, but below form on turf there when last seen in May, and entitled to need this run even if back in form.

Form: 8-64237

(1)

Couldn't Could She¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West| OR: 63

25/1

Won over 1m2f at Windsor in June, and good second there in August, but below form in three subsequent starts, albeit shaping a bit better than the result last time.

Form: 342705

(3)

Kirtling^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: Andi Brown| OR: 57

40/1

Won twice at Newcastle in 2016, but off for 21 months prior to return, and needs to prove his old ability remains after a couple of poor efforts.

Form: 1318/08

(6)

Dracarys^v1⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 45

100/1

Had very little impact in any of his six previous races including on stable debut at Chepstown in August. Visored now, but no appeal from well out of the weights.

Form: 700-000

Forecasts

Pilot Wings (9/4), The Pinto Kid (16/5), Running Cloud (10/3), Miss Blondell (12/1), Majrooh (12/1), Vincent's Forever (20/1), Let's Be Happy (20/1), Sotomayor (25/1), Ready (25/1), Couldn't Could She (25/1), Diamond Ridge (33/1), Kirtling (40/1), Mouchee (100/1), Dracarys (100/1)

THE PINTO KID makes most appeal after just failing at Lingfield on his latest start, and a 2lb rise is no bar to success now. Running Cloud has strong form claims after returning to form at Leicester, but he's spurned a few chances, and is still seeking his first handicap win, while Pilot Wings is another who was runner-up last time, and he is also open to improvement now he seems to have got his act together.
