Bobby Joe Leg^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61| CD

17/2

C&D winner who has thrived in refitted blinkers of late, landing quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton (7f) last month. Noted finishing with running left having been badly hampered over 1f out at Newcastle (7f) last week and he's not discounted here.

Form: 781119

Autumn Angel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60

11/2

Maiden who ran best race to date when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 0-28302

(2)

Cotai Class¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 59

6/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 7/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, switched over 1f out and late headway. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 592545

(8)

Six Strings²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 57| D

25/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford (6f) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals on back of a very slow start.

Form: 988009

(13)

Kodebreaker²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 56| D

11/1

First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Not out of things from this sort of mark.

Form: 893826

(12)

Hilary's Boy^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 55| C

9/1

4/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (6.1f) 23 days ago. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 278381

(10)

Hanoverian King¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 53| D

20/1

Gelded and off the mark at Chelmsford (7f) in September of last year. Seen only 3 times since, ninth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) in July. Market support would look significant back from another break.

Form: 9716-09

(11)

Desert Dream^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 53| D

18/1

Latest win at Catterick in September. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 41 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration.

Form: 525133

(5)

Martin's Brig^b³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: D Thompson| OR: 52| D

5/2

One win from 26 Flat runs. 5/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy) 38 days ago, driven 3f out and unable to land a blow. Still, he's no forlorn hope in an open-looking affair.

Form: 132288

(9)

Bobby Shaftoe^b⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46| D

14/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 46 days ago, switched over 1f out and late headway. Significantly back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 1U0676

(4)

Independent Beauty^h³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: L Williamson| OR: 46

50/1

Maiden who had little chance at the weights and ultimately never figured when last of 5 in novice event (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Others make greater appeal returned to handicap company.

Form: 459085

(1)

Brazen Arrow^v³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

7/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Good second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 10/1) 34 days ago, no match for an improving 3-y-o. Each-way possibilities with a repeat from his basement mark.

Form: 656052

(7)

Furniture Factors⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: G Lee| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 45

28/1

11/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 41 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 907559

Forecasts

Martin's Brig (5/2), Autumn Angel (11/2), Cotai Class (6/1), Brazen Arrow (7/1), Bobby Joe Leg (17/2), Hilary's Boy (9/1), Kodebreaker (11/1), Bond Boy (12/1), Bobby Shaftoe (14/1), Desert Dream (18/1), Hanoverian King (20/1), Six Strings (25/1), Furniture Factors (28/1), Independent Beauty (50/1)

AUTUMN ANGEL remains a maiden but she arrives having run her best race yet when runner-up over this trip at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and, having gone well on her sole previous start here, she could be the answer. Bobby Joe Leg, Desert Dream and recent course scorer Hilary's Boy head up the dangers.
