Selected odds by:

Algaffaal³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 76

8/1

Fair seasonal debut effort when fourth in slightly higher grade at Haydock (1m; good). Record on turf is far from inspiring (0-6) but he has shown ability on the grass and he is only 1-12 overall but definite place claims in this.

Form: 33752-4

(13)

Ours Puissant^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 75| D

80/1

Tailed off on second start since joining this yard when 12th of 12 at Thirsk (1m; good) last month. 5lb lower but is regressing at a rapid rate and record on turf now stands at 0-4.

Form: 22/9-500

(1)

Black Friday^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 74

18/1

Form of his last time out fifth over 7f to Prompting has since been franked with that rival going in again since. Modest strike-rate (1-17) leaves him vulnerable for win purposes but he has place claims if stripping fitter.

Form: 56140-5

(10)

Dubai Acclaim¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| D

9/1

1lb below last winning mark and not beaten far at all when fifth over C&D recently on third run this season. That was a definite step back in right direction. Place claims if able to build on it.

Form: 102-795

Lola Showgirl⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73

5/6

Penalty to shoulder after improving for the switch to handicaps when an impressive winner at Chepstow (7f; good) recently. Only had four career starts, and is very unexposed at 1m so has to be strongly considered to follow up.

Form: 6221

(12)

Copper And Five²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70

18/1

Outran odds of 100-1 when finishing second behind the 1/5f Montather at Thirsk (1m; good). Opening mark fair on handicap debut and if able to prove that was no fluke he could get involved. Stable form the only concern.

Form: 4-2

(7)

Jackhammer^b³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 70| CD

11/2

C&D winner last May has ran well in defeat at this track twice since. Not disgraced when making up ground from the rear of the field to finish fourth at Hamilton (1m; soft) on reappearance so has a chance if able to take a small step forward.

Form: 31121-4

(11)

Dawry¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: H Main| OR: 68

22/1

Displayed evident promise in this sphere at the start of the year. However he has been well below-par in two starts since returning to the track in June. Tailed off over this trip at Newbury (1m; good) recently. Readily opposed.

Form: 422-300

(6)

Magic Voice¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

10/1

Took another minor step forward to finish fourth at Haydock (7f; good to soft) in a decent race when 25-1. Likely to progress in this sphere given the fair level of ability he has displayed in a trio of novice events.

Form: 744

(5)

Lamorna³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 70

80/1

Makes handicap/stable debut after finishing last of 10 at Lingfield (7f; good) for William Haggas when last seen. Showed ability on penultimate start when fifth on sole AW start, but now needs to bounce back.

Form: 050

(8)

Remmy D^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55| D

40/1

Ruled out with confidence given he has only beaten the one rival home in a pair of slightly lower grade events since returning to action this season. Sent off at big prices on each occasion and a similar story expected again.

Form: 4130-00

Forecasts

Lola Showgirl (5/6), Jackhammer (11/2), Algaffaal (8/1), Business (8/1), Dubai Acclaim (9/1), Magic Voice (10/1), Mountain Rescue (12/1), Copper And Five (18/1), Black Friday (18/1), Dawry (22/1), Equidae (25/1), Remmy D (40/1), Ours Puissant (80/1), Lamorna (80/1)

The toughest race of the day in the finale with preference for LOLA SHOWGIRL as she bids to follow-up her handicap debut success when a comfortable winner at Chepstow. The yard are in rude form after they had a Group Three winner on Sunday and this Night Of Thunder filly should be tough to stop under a penalty. Given his solid record at this track, Jackhammer is worth a mention, as are the handicap newcomers Copper And Five as well as Magic Voice. At a slightly bigger price, Black Friday showed good form when fifth two weeks ago, and Algaffaal has solid place claims once more despite looking vulnerable for win purposes.
