Stormingin^b²⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Georgina Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54| D

33/1

Unreliable individual. Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. Beaten only narrowly at Lingfield on penultimate outing but again was outbattled and his weakness in a finish means he remains a risky proposition.

Form: 50-2626

Red Evelyn²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Stephanie Dorey⁽⁷⁾| T: S Pearce| OR: 51

11/2

Twenty one runs since her sole win in January 2021. Another respectable effort when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 26 days ago and she looks competitive on form.

Form: 533644

(3)

Villalobos^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 51| BF

Fellowship⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: George Eddery⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 48| D

40/1

Winner at Yarmouth in June. Showed temperament when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 70 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving William Knight. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 916038

Revolut¹³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 45

22/1

No sign of ability in bumper or on the Flat. Has since left Martin Keighley. Lots more needed on handicap debut.

Form: 945

(6)

Turn Of Phrase¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham⁽⁵⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Something to find on form.

Form: 755367

Forecasts

Villalobos (7/4), Engrave (5/2), Red Evelyn (11/2), Graffiti (15/2), Quoteline Direct (14/1), Faithless Insomnia (20/1), Revolut (22/1), Stormingin (33/1), Fellowship (40/1), Turn Of Phrase (50/1)

VILLALOBOS rates as an obvious selection in this company, having gone close from his mark at Lingfield last month and still having had less racing in handicaps than most he meets here. Red Evelyn and Graffiti ran respectably on their latest outings and should be in the shake up if in similar form.
