Avorisk Et Perils¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hector Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

9/2

Started off in bumpers and made little impact there or first outings on Flat prior to better third at Brighton (7f) in July on handicap bow. Not disgraced after summer break at Kempton recently. Extra furlong may well help the cause off 2lb lower.

Form: 05737

Pearl Spectre^p⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| CD

13/2

Nine-time winner but hasn't hit the mark since January when scoring over 7f at Chelmsford. Now 16lb lower after series of moderate efforts but is a previous C&D winner and didn't run badly last time.

Form: 550464

Maryellen^p1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A Bailey| OR: 57

25/1

Unexposed daughter of Mayson who showed nothing on first two outings this summer but did much better after a break when beaten just three lengths in September Wolverhampton novice. Handicap bow and worth a market check.

Form: 906

Fitzy^p⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: P Butler| OR: 56| D

25/1

Off the mark over a mile at Wetherby in May for David Brown and showed in-and-out form after that. Makes debut for new yard. Return to this trip no bad thing.

Form: 139404

Mister Musicmaster¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: R J Hodges| OR: 54| CD

13/2

Grand servant but on 15-race losing streak. Run respectably last three starts though and this previous C&D winner iis well handicapped if able to rekindle a bit of the old fire.

Form: 585334

(2)

Pact Of Steel^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 54| C

5/1

Made winning debut for connections over extended mile at Wolverhampton in September. No joy since and probably failed to stay longer trip last time. Return to mile makes sense and good apprentice claims 3lb.

Form: 051878

(8)

My Law^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: J R Boyle| OR: 55

8/1

First-time cheekpieces catch the eye as too does jockey booking for this 11-race maiden who has shown glimpses of form. Missed break last time but has a squeak on some previous runs this term.

Form: 836468

Arctic Flower¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 52| D

9/1

Rattled off four-timer here over 7f in 2017 but nothing after that until popping up in heavy ground at Windsor penultimate start over 6f. Questions to answer though at this trip and others are preferred.

Form: 308416

(9)

Duke Of North^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 52| C| D

12/1

Stable companion of My Law. Won twice over extended mile at Epsom last year off much higher marks but has struggled to get his head in front this season, although placed a few times. Slowly away at Kempton latest and needs to break better.

Form: 552257

Quick Recovery⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 51| C

9/2

Yet to win beyond 6f but failed by only a short-head over a mile at Chelmsford last time so does stay. 2lb higher but seems in good heart and is worth a glance. One of three representing yard here.

Form: 358042

(3)

Chop Chop¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: B Barr| OR: 53

40/1

11-race maiden who showed modest form for Roger Charlton prior to joining current yard in the summer. Shown very little in four starts since and looks to have plenty to do even at this level.

Form: 386007

(7)

Annakonda⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B Doyle| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 52

16/1

Morpheus filly who has hardly set the world alight in three runs so far. Begins handicap career on very low mark though and with shrewd handler so well worth checking for any market positivity.

Form: 064

Forecasts

Avorisk Et Perils (9/2), Quick Recovery (9/2), Pact Of Steel (5/1), Pearl Spectre (13/2), Mister Musicmaster (13/2), My Law (8/1), Arctic Flower (9/1), Duke Of North (12/1), Annakonda (16/1), Maryellen (25/1), Fitzy (25/1), Chop Chop (40/1)

MY LAW, one of three Jim Boyle-trained runners here, looks interesting in first-time cheekpieces and with Adam Kirby an eyecatching booking. On her best form she would have a chance and the step up in trip may help. Stable companion Quick Recovery went very close at Chelmsford last week and should again be on the premises if in similar mood, while veteran Mister Musicmaster cannot be ruled out either. Any support for Fitzy or handicap debutants Maryellen and Annakonda would be worth noting.
