Blackheath^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 75| D

7/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 32 days ago. Potentially well treated now and not ruled out.

Form: 530053

International Girl³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

9/1

Got back on the up to win a handicap for the first time at Hamilton (6f) in September. Left poorly placed at York next time, so is better judged on her Hamilton success.

Form: 235515

Run This Way²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| D

11/1

Proved a different proposition when winning 17-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 40/1) 22 days ago, easing clear. Not long with this yard so another bold bid anticapted.

Form: 456941

Stalingrad^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 71

11/2

Ran respectably when fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago, short of room over 1f out. Can go close if building on that.

7/1

Forecasts

Spartan Fighter (4/1), Another Dawn (4/1), Stalingrad (11/2), Gowanlad (7/1), Blackheath (7/1), True Mason (15/2), International Girl (9/1), Nearly A Gonna (10/1), Run This Way (11/1), Next Victory (14/1), Excessable (14/1), East Street Revue (18/1), Ubahha (66/1), Gold Zabeel (125/1)

A competitive sprint handicap and the suggestion is EAST STREET REVUE, who showed he hasn't gone off the boil when third at Nottingham last month. Another Dawn remains unexposed after just 5 starts, while Run This Way isn't long with his current yard so should remain competitive following a 7 lb rise for Pontefract.
