Mick's Spirit^v³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 64| D

13/8

Eased in weights and confirmed return to form when finishing very good second of 7 in a C&D handicap 37 days ago, quickening to lead over 1f out and collared line. Of interest again now he's back in the groove.

Form: 754732

So Sleepy^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 63| CD

5/2

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (11/10) 16 days ago, leading final 100 yds and ultimately winning comfortably. Sound claims from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 980321

(6)

Josies Kid^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62| D

10/3

Latest win at Wolverhampton in June. Good second of 10 in handicap back at that venue (5.1f, 7/2) 7 days ago, headed last ½f. Another holding claims with cheekpieces back on.

Due Date^t1,v1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Wallis| OR: 60

40/1

Offered little both starts upon joining present stable in recent weeks and application of first-time visor/tongue tie needs to have serious effect if he's to figure.

Form: 428800

(5)

Conquest Of Power^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 59| D

17/2

28/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 10 days ago, racing off the pace and never dangerous. Again had soft ground as a possible excuse then and switch back to an artificial surface may help now from tumbling mark.

Form: 1563-90

(7)

Jacquelina¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| D

8/1

Winner at Chepstow (5f) in June. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) in July, no extra final 100 yds. No forlorn hope returning from 114 days off.

SO SLEEPY gained deserved compensation for her unlucky defeat previously when running out a comfortable winner of a C&D handicap 16 days ago and a repeat here should see her make another bold bid from a 6 lb higher mark. Fellow in-form pair Mick's Spirit and Josies Kid head up the dangers.
