Gentlemen^h⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Ended a long losing sequence in winning a tight finish over this C&D in a stronger grade. Change to more prominent tactics suited and every chance under 6lb penalty.

Form: 444971

(5)

Glenn Coco^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 77| C| D

16/1

Better suited by the AW but had no chance after saddle slipped early here last start. Could bounce back but does look a touch high in the weights.

Form: 823280

(2)

Wilbury Twist⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R Varian| OR: 76| D

7/4

Caught the eye from a poor position despite being beaten at odds-on and made short work of her opening mark on handicap debut subsequently. Only up 4lb and likely to go close.

Form: 36321

(8)

Young John⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 75| BF| D

7/2

Narrowly beaten when aiming for a third win in 12 days. Quick reappearance again and although 4lb rise shouldn't be an issue it is a big ask.

Form: 624114

(10)

Kadrizzi¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 75| C

10/1

On a long losing run but an eye-catching run returning from a 261-day absence when caught wide over this C&D. Has dropped to a low mark and could go well.

Form: 8-07805

(1)

Gabrial The Tiger¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

33/1

Failed to build on Musselburgh win back at Kempton and now unplaced in all seven AW starts which rates a clear concern.

Form: 100019

(9)

Wazin^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 74

16/1

Ran up to the level of her Wolverhampton win when returning at Newcastle and remains lightly-raced with improvement possible up to this distance. Rates a leading hope.

Form: 4-43174

(4)

The Lamplighter^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: George Baker| OR: 71

8/1

13-race maiden had been threatening to breakthrough before a disappointing effort latest. More required to win at this level and others preferred.

Form: 468220

(3)

Enzo¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 70

66/1

Two wins for Ed Walker and nearly gained a first handicap success when second in final two starts for him. However well beaten on stable debut and best watched.

Form: 085220

(7)

Dashing Poet¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Main| OR: 65| C| D

10/1

On a competitive mark at present and goes well on this surface. Drop in trip isn't an issue and can go well off the back of two close seconds.

Form: 195022

Forecasts

Wilbury Twist (7/4), Young John (7/2), Gentlemen (6/1), The Lamplighter (8/1), Kadrizzi (10/1), Dashing Poet (10/1), Glenn Coco (16/1), Wazin (16/1), Highland Acclaim (16/1), Gabrial The Tiger (33/1), Enzo (66/1)

Young John is in flying form and remains on a workable mark but the main question will be whether a fourth quickfire run will catch up with him. A repeat of his latest tactics would see Gentleman go close again while Wazin has presumably been kept back for a winter campaign and should have more to offer for an in-form stable. WILBURY TWIST should have plenty more improvement to come for her trainer and is likely ahead of the handicapper.
