Enough Already⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L Carter| OR: 77| D

10/3

Latest win at Lingfield in November. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (15/2) there (10f, AW) 6 days ago. Found only a progressive youngster too good last time and he should be in the mix again.

Wadacre Gomez¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| BF| CD

7/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Good length third of 11 to Enough Already in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 3/1) 16 days ago. Attitude not fully convincing on that occasion but he can't be ruled out from same mark.

Boasty^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: I Furtado| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Three-time C&D winner. 7/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Carbis Bay^p1⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: M Botti| OR: 74

6/1

Fairly useful form in novice company but yet to land a blow in handicaps and shaped as if he may not be entirely straightforward when fifth at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces applied.

Phantasy Mac^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 71| D

6/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on. Remains on workable mark.

Form: 085733

Pistoletto³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Gilligan| T: J Ryan| OR: 68| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in July. 18/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others preferred.

Form: 468160

Clipsham Gold²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 67

16/1

Step back in right direction when second of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) last month and wasn't seen to best effect over C&D 20 days ago, not getting a clear run from off the pace. Worth another try at this trip.

Forecasts

Wadacre Gomez (7/4), Rogue Soldier (9/4), Enough Already (10/3), Carbis Bay (6/1), Phantasy Mac (6/1), Boasty (8/1), Pistoletto (14/1), Clipsham Gold (16/1)

ROGUE SOLDIER wasn't beaten far on his only prior outing in handicap company, and having landed a Wolverhampton maiden last time, he's taken to follow up, with his mark still looking workable despite a 4 lb rise. Enough Already arrives at the top of his game and can't be discounted, with Boasty taken to complete the placings.
