Impeach^b,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Dwyer| T: C Allen| OR: 71| D

17/2

Blinkers refitted when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago, always holding on. Must enter calculations raised just 2 lb.

Form: 62450-1

Patsy Fagan²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| D

7/4

Bagged fourth win of 2021 in 14-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 26 days ago, getting on top late on. That form has worked out well, so he holds very good claims once more.

Form: 016621-

(5)

Seas Of Elzaam⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 70| D

11/1

Had looked to be coming to the boil but he came in last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 46 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 748658-

(1)

Tributo^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| CD

12/1

C&D winner but only eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 22/1) 38 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: U52210-

(6)

Water Of Leith¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Menzies| OR: 68| CD

6/1

C&D winner but he comes here on back of last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 115 days, and it's now fifteen runs since his last win in 2020.

Form: 003590-

(4)

Portelet Bay^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 63| D

8/1

Three-time winner last year, but he could never land a blow back at 5f when sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell 16 days ago. Not discounted now back up in trip.

Form: 64326-6

(2)

Creek Harbour¹³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| CD

16/1

C&D winner in July. Off 130 days since below-form fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f), so he needs to hit the ground running on his return.

Form: 215324-

(3)

Secret Potion^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Harris| OR: 60| C| D

100/1

Course winner but he arrives out of sorts, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 1580-80

(9)

Desert Lime^p,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 60| D

4/1

Winner at Lingfield in November who posted good second in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 10 days ago. Still has few miles on the clock, and merits serious consideration off the same mark.

Form: 31626-2

Forecasts

Patsy Fagan (7/4), Desert Lime (4/1), Water Of Leith (6/1), Portelet Bay (8/1), Impeach (17/2), Seas Of Elzaam (11/1), Tributo (12/1), Creek Harbour (16/1), Secret Potion (100/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which PATSY FAGAN gets the nod given he still looks attractively weighted despite a 5 lb rise for his latest success at Southwell. Low-mileage Desert Lime is feared most on the back of her good C&D second with Portelet Bay and Impeach firmly in the mix too.
