Axel Jacklin^b¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 48| D

17/2

Doesn't hold his form for long and whilst below best on AW during the summer, he's often gone well fresh previously. No surprise to see him thereabouts on the back of a 179 day break with usual blinkers fitted.

Form: 125900-

Chloellie^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 44| CD

11/1

5-time course winner. Thirty three runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, not at best when second of 9 in minor event at this course (1m) 21 days ago. Less-than-ideal draw to contend with here.

Form: 2570-42

(10)

Christines Angel⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

12/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 50 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 0/87526-

(4)

Eastern Star⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

7/1

Ungenuine type. 5/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 50 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 636579-

(3)

Elegant Ellen^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 47

9/2

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Hooded for 1st time, below form sixth of 10 in minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago, hampered. No forlorn hope on balance.

Form: 8835-66

(13)

Fact Or Fable^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: J S Moore| OR: 44| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form fifth of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Chelmsford (7f) 23 days ago, weakening final 100 yds. ANother with a tricky draw to navigate.

Form: 02659-5

Fast Flo^b1,h1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 42

100/1

Visored for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap (125/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time, hooded for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 6/099-00

(11)

Naadyaa^v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: J Parr| OR: 50

18/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 85660-9

(9)

No Diggity^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: J Butler| OR: 47| C| D

16/1

Course winner. Again ran some way below his best when seventh of 13 in minor event at Chelmsford (1m) 14 days ago. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 9508-77

(12)

River Chorus³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 50| D

5/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 11/1) 30 days ago, weakening final 1f. Form is a little up and down and wider draw than ideal to contend with here.

Form: 531437-

Secret Tryst^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Knight| OR: 48

5/1

18/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at this course (8f) 21 days ago, very slowly away and never landing a blow. Work to do if she's to figure here.

Form: 90800-5

(2)

Shamshon¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 48| BF

9/1

Veteran campaigner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 15/8) 16 days ago, outpaced home turn and keeping on. One to consider trying 7f for the first time.

Form: 2475-33

(5)

Six O'clock Swill^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 50

22/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time,typically proved too free when last of 11 in handicap (50/1) at this course (8f) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 54660-0

Forecasts

Divine Messenger (4/1), Elegant Ellen (9/2), River Chorus (5/1), Secret Tryst (5/1), Eastern Star (7/1), Axel Jacklin (17/2), Shamshon (9/1), Chloellie (11/1), Christines Angel (12/1), Fact Or Fable (14/1), No Diggity (16/1), Naadyaa (18/1), Six O'clock Swill (22/1), Fast Flo (100/1)

AXEL JACKLIN isn't one to hold his form for long, yet he's often gone well fresh previously, so could be the way to go on the back of a 179-day break with his usual blinkers refitted. Divine Messenger went agonisingly close to ending a losing run at Lingfield 7 days ago and is feared along with veteran Shamshon. No Diggity is one to monitor in the betting returned to this venue.
