10/3

C&D winner. 20/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D. Off 112 days. Hasn't been firing this season, but worth a market check returning from a break.

Morty^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽⁷⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55| D

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 23 days ago, slowly away. Hood back on. Well treated but needs to bounce back.

The Tron^v¹¹

7/2

5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago. Arrives in good form and this is a weak event, so it looks a good opportunity for him.

5/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, last of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, doing too much too soon. Hard to predict.

Forecasts

Toplight (10/3), The Tron (7/2), For Peat's Sake (5/1), Enchanted Night (5/1), Morty (11/2), Amalfi Gem (9/1), Shamilla (20/1), Privilege (25/1), Miss Shirley (25/1), Chanson D'Amour (40/1), Littlemissattitude (66/1), Swooper (66/1)

THE TRON is the only one who arrives in form and he's the obvious choice in a thin race. Most of the others have questions to answer, but Amalfi Gem and For Peat's Sake have at least run well fairly recently, so they're worthy of consideration.
