Chetan¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Toby Eley| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| BF| D

8/1

Runner-up on last three starts on turf for Charlie Wallis in July, and has switched yards since. New stable among the winners, and market will guide in return from a break.

Form: 305222

Barrsbrook^v³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64

13/2

Good second at Brighton on penultimate start, but couldn't match that form in a first-time visor at Kempton last time, and needs to do better. Promising claimer will help, however.

Form: 222725

(8)

Superego¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 63

15/2

Not achieved a great deal to date, but travelled well on handicap debut at Chepstow in June, and no great surprise to see her improve having changed yards in the interim.

Form: 5686

(10)

Baasha^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: M Crehan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 62

5/1

Shaped better than previously when third at Chelmsford on penultimate start, but failed to match that form last time, and opposable on balance of form.

Form: 005439

(3)

Mundersfield^h1³²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 61

20/1

Failed to build on a promising Wolverhampton debut when well held here a year ago, and ran even worse when last seen at Chelmsford in January. Could improve now handicapping, but looks very risky.

Form: 46-0

(6)

Hic Bibi⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Coughlan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 61

16/1

Very much had the run of the race when springing a 50/1 shock at Chelmsford in September, and couldn't dominate when well below that form last time. Claims rest on stealing an early advantage.

Form: 854018

(2)

Big Bad Lol^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oliver Stammers| T: E Walker| OR: 59

6/4

Gained fifth consecutive placing when returning from a break with a good third of 12 to Cuttin' Edge in apprentice event over C&D last time. Sure to go well on that evidence.

Form: 832223

(7)

The Bearfighter¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jessica Cooley| T: C Fellowes| OR: 60

8/1

Not progressed since mild promise of Wolverhampton debut, and opening mark looks harsh on balance. Opposable unless the market speaks for him.

Form: 7-07

(11)

Malaysian Boleh^b,e/s²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 46| C

25/1

Has won 11 times in all, but not as reliable as he once was, and latest efforts give him something to find. Blinkers and eyeshields back on after a couple of spins in a visor.

Form: 455767

Forecasts

Big Bad Lol (6/4), Baasha (5/1), Barrsbrook (13/2), Superego (15/2), Chetan (8/1), The Bearfighter (8/1), Hic Bibi (16/1), Mundersfield (20/1), Midnight Vixen (20/1), Malaysian Boleh (25/1), Coral Caye (33/1)

BIG BAD LOL is a good vein of form at the moment and should take all the beating. Chetan makes his debut for a yard amongst the winners, and needs a market check, with Midnight Vixen not ruled out after a promising start for her new yard at Newcastle.
