Hot Chesnut¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 72| D

7/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford (7f) 16 days ago. Hit with a 6 lb rise but should figure if in similar form.

Form: 290-761

(3)

Magical Max^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: I Furtado| OR: 71

10/3

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 50/1, creditable eighth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago, finishing well. This is a bit less competitive.

Form: 0-20368

(5)

Cubanista^b²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 68| D

4/1

10/1 and blinkered first time, good second of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago, hanging left and headed close home. Form has been boosted by the winner going in again.

Form: 640-302

(2)

Masterclass²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 68

16/1

Just a small-field maiden win to name and towards the back of the field in 2 handicap runs this year.

Form: 2123-67

(6)

Dion Baker^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 67

10/1

Arrives on the back of 2 creditable runner-up efforts at Yarmouth but his overall record is now 0-14. May find the odd one too strong again.

Form: 096-522

(7)

Danzart^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 66| D

15/2

On a roll since refitted with a hood, completing hat-trick in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 19 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 625111

(8)

Alibaba³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 65

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020 but shaped well when third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good) 39 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 324/053

Sir Titan⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

10/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 6/1) 53 days ago.

Form: 95-5944

Forecasts

Magical Max (10/3), Hot Chesnut (7/2), Cubanista (4/1), Alibaba (5/1), Danzart (15/2), Dion Baker (10/1), Sir Titan (10/1), Masterclass (16/1)

The well-handicapped ALIBABA is worth a chance to build on an encouraging run at Beverley last time. Cubanista has had the form of his latest Yarmouth second boosted by the winner going in and he'll be a threat if the blinkers work as well a second time. The thriving Danzart should also be on the premises.
