(12)

Bartat⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 57| D

13/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 6/1) 5 days ago, kept up to work. Merits respect under a penalty in this hat-trick bid.

Form: 026911

(8)

The Warrior³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: L Carter| OR: 60| C

13/2

Course winner. 10/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 38 days ago, nearest finish. More than capable off this sort of mark but not the easiest to catch right.

Form: 547543

(11)

Chocco Star^p1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 60| C

10/1

Course winner. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 55 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and it'd be no surprise were she to go close.

Form: 33-1374

(5)

The Lacemaker^p⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 60| C

40/1

Course winner. 6/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 70 days ago. Back up in trip and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 0-04425

(14)

Gilt Edge¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 59

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 8/1) 18 days ago. Yard also saddles Glamorous Crescent.

Form: 323827

(3)

Qaseeda⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

16/1

Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 44 days ago, doing too much too soon. Should run her race, albeit without being quite good enough.

Form: 53-5058

(4)

Prince Rock⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: S Dow| OR: 58| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (5/1) at this course (8f, AW) 76 days ago. Good each-way shout with De Sousa doing the steering.

Form: 200233

(9)

Violet's Lads¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: B R Johnson| OR: 58| BF| D

12/1

One win from 27 Flat runs. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, soft, 13/2) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 263760

(10)

Jack Ryan^p1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: J Ryan| OR: 60

16/1

8/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 54 days ago, finding little. Cheekpieces on 1st time and opposable from a win point of view.

Form: 69-5020

(7)

Passing Nod⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 59| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 14/1, respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 10 to Bartat in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 5 days ago, not ideally placed. This demands a clear career-best.

Form: 116805

(13)

Dreamboat Annie^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 57| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 314417

(1)

Glamorous Crescent¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 54| BF| D

18/1

13/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. 1 lb lower now and she's not without each-way claims.

Form: 076155

(6)

Mrs Benson¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 49| D

11/2

One win from 28 Flat runs. Winner at Kempton in September. 3/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 19 days ago. Probably worth taking on.

Form: 625218

(2)

Mr Kodi²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: P D Evans| OR: 46| D

33/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in June. 12/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 25 days ago. Needs to raise his game in order to emerge on top here.

Form: 471585

Forecasts

Passing Nod (11/2), Mrs Benson (11/2), Prince Rock (13/2), The Warrior (13/2), Bartat (13/2), Gilt Edge (8/1), Chocco Star (10/1), Violet's Lads (12/1), Qaseeda (16/1), Jack Ryan (16/1), Glamorous Crescent (18/1), Dreamboat Annie (33/1), Mr Kodi (33/1), The Lacemaker (40/1)

Stall 11 isn't ideal but CHOCCO STAR is appealing otherwise with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. She opened her account over 6f here in January and shaped as though well worth another crack at this trip when fourth back from a 6-month break at Wolverhampton. The hat-trick seeking Bartat is feared most, though Prince Rock also has claims with De Sousa aboard.
