Havagomecca^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 73| D

6/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 32 days ago. Becoming well treated (now 3 lb below last winning mark) and would be a threat if on-song.

Papa Don't Preach¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Frost| OR: 72| D

9/2

12/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) 11 days ago. Down to a dangerous mark but it's hard to ignore the fact that he's 0-17 on turf.

Murbih³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 68| D

4/1

4/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 3 days ago, well positioned. Runner-up over C&D on penultimate start and while he remains winless following 13 attempts on turf, this 4-y-o has to enter calculations.

Texas Man²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 68| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in July. 9/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Jojo Rabbit^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68| D

6/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, not clear run. Looks vulnerable.

Albegone^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner in August. 9/4, below form fifth of 9 in handicap back here (good) 13 days ago. Remains on a workable mark but he's not the easiest to win with.

Forecasts

Albegone (3/1), Birkenhead (3/1), Murbih (4/1), Texas Man (4/1), Papa Don't Preach (9/2), Jojo Rabbit (6/1), Havagomecca (6/1), Castan (7/1), Vadamiah (8/1)

VADAMIAH has followed her encouraging reappearance spin with a couple of low-key efforts, but she's 3-5 at this course and this represents a significant drop in class compared to the valuable handicap she contested at the York Ebor meeting last month. Paul Midgley's charge is taken to bounce back and enhance her good record here. Birkenhead is next on the list, though a back-to-form Havagomecca would be a live danger and Murbih also enters calculations.
