Placated³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 58| C

6/1

Course winner who has returned to form on her last 2 starts, running up to her best behind a progressive rival when second of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 7/2) 32 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 4/5582-2

(12)

Louisiana Bay²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Jack Jones| OR: 56

9/2

Run best excused when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Had been proving consistent before last time, but needs a bit extra if she's to open her account.

Form: 6532-25

(5)

Destinado^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 56| C

6/1

Continued his fine start for his current trainer when winning 11-runner minor event at this course (10f, evens) 12 days ago, readily. Can add to his tally as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 66-1311

(10)

Taxiing^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 57

10/1

Has been going the right way in 3 starts for her current yard, getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (14f) 20 days ago. Can give another good account with the visor back on.

Form: 4005-21

(8)

Alghazaal³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

14/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Has run well last 2 starts, making effort earlier than ideal when third of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 5/1) 32 days ago. Can give his running but may just be vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 83372-3

Black Smoke^b,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54

28/1

Continued in good heart when length fourth of 10 to the reopposing Taxiing in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 2/1) 20 days ago. More required as he makes the switch to polytrack.

Form: 6653-24

(7)

Largo Bay¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: M Madgwick| OR: 54| C

13/2

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: M R Hoad| OR: 53

25/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Madgwick| OR: 55

11/2

(11)

Tortured Soul²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

5/1

Made it back-to-back wins since joining his current yard when landing 10-runner handicap (6/5) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly as he goes further up in trip on his polytrack debut.

Form: 94381-1

Hiccups⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: John Berry| OR: 54

66/1

(9)

Merry Minister¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: B R Johnson| OR: 53

22/1

Well supported (4/1) but fared no better than of late when fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but he has something to find upped in distance.

Form: 7676-75

Forecasts

Louisiana Bay (9/2), Tortured Soul (5/1), Fullforward (11/2), Placated (6/1), Destinado (6/1), Largo Bay (13/2), Taxiing (10/1), Alghazaal (14/1), Merry Minister (22/1), Crazy Maisie (25/1), Black Smoke (28/1), Hiccups (66/1)

DESTINADO made it three wins from 4 starts since joining James Owen when successful at this course 12 days ago, doing well in the circumstances having had to come from a long way back, and he can score again in his current form. Heading the list of dangers is Tortured Soul, who also arrives bidding for a hat-trick, with Placated completing the shortlist.
