Algheed¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 76| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 40/1) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Continues to edge down the weights and she's not taken lightly.

Form: 360656

One Night Stand²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 76| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 10/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 26 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 550000

Muscika^v⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| CD

17/2

3 wins from 15 runs this year. 9/4, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) just under 11 weeks ago, having run of race. 6 lb higher now and one to consider back on the all-weather.

Form: 504021

Digital⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 76| D

6/4

7/4, capitalised on the drop into claiming company when winning 7-runner event at Kempton (6f) 8 days ago, readily. Shortlist material back in a handicap.

Form: 066661

Yesterday's Hero²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

25/1

Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in January but proved to be a disappointment when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (6f). Makes handicap debut after 8 months off and interesting to see how he fares in the market having been gelded.

Form: 17

(12)

Mersea¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 74| D

33/1

Latest win at Carlisle in August. Last of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and a wide stall may complicate things a little.

Form: 134569

Surprise Picture^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 74| BF| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year, latest here in September. Ran one of this season's lesser races when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 5/1) 9 days ago. Must bounce back.

Form: 344129

Absolutelyflawless⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 4/1, wasn't seen to best effect after a further 9 weeks off when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, never nearer after hampered start.

Form: 266604

(9)

Minnesota Lad⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74

7/1

12/1, never involved after another slow start when tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 63 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more persuasive.

Form: 954240

(7)

Kensington Agent¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 9 runs this year. 6/1, run of good form halted when fourth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 5 months ago. Has done her winning on all-weather this year so warrants respect.

Form: 133154

(11)

Mokaatil^v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65| D

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Not one to be writing off just yet from a mark that continues to fall but has a tricky draw to overcome here.

Form: 906558

Hawajes¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63

150/1

Soon detached and never asked for an effort at any stage when last of 8 on handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 16/1) in July. Back on the all-weather and worth a second look in the market.

Form: 4048

Forecasts

Digital (6/4), Surprise Picture (6/1), Algheed (13/2), Minnesota Lad (7/1), Muscika (17/2), One Night Stand (11/1), Absolutelyflawless (12/1), Kensington Agent (14/1), Yesterday's Hero (25/1), Mersea (33/1), Mokaatil (40/1), Hawajes (150/1)

DIGITAL capitalised on the drop into claiming company with an authoritative display at Kempton last week and returning to a handicap from a career-low mark, Karl Burke's 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Muscika, who won at Epsom in August and can continue his good work back from a break. Algheed and Mokaatil can do battle for minor honours.
