Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ethan Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70| D

40/1

Now 5 lb below his last winning mark but he ended time for Ed Walker in pretty tame fashion, not looking an easy ride at Lingfield in February. Hopes rest on change of scenery.

11/1

Change of headgear worked the oracle when off the mark for the season at Carlisle in June. Blinkers failed to work as well both starts since and she'll need to a good pace to aim at over this trip.

Soames Forsyte^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁵⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 69| D

10/1

Bounced back to form when narrowly taking 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) last month. Brushed aside at Doncaster since and claimer now takes over.

Kalama Sunrise^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Archie Young| T: J Channon| OR: 68| BF| D

85/40

Most progressive in 2024, completing the 4-timer at Leicester in July. Conceded first run to the winner second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 7 days ago and she remains of serious interest.

Love Your Work²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Sam Feilden| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 67| D

15/2

Finally cashed in on a falling mark in 8-runner handicap at Leicester last month Had to work a lot harder to land the odds at Yarmouth last time and he's up a further 4 lb here. Commands respect, still.

Young Fire^v⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63| CD

6/5

Kept busy and hard to knock his consistency despite lengthy losing sequence. Caught further back than ideal when third at Ayr on Monday and he's likely to give it another good shot.

Captain Corelli²⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 56| D

28/1

Now 9 lb below his last winning mark but that's indicative of a below-par 2023 campaign and he returns from nearly 7 months off.

Forecasts

Young Fire (6/5), Kalama Sunrise (85/40), Local Bay (4/1), Love Your Work (15/2), Soames Forsyte (10/1), Golden Melody (11/1), Captain Corelli (28/1), Monopolise (40/1)

KALAMA SUNRISE hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces, completing the 4-timer at Leicester and losing very little in defeat against a well-ridden rival at Chepstow last week. She looks the way to go here, with Young Fire and Local Bay probably the main threats.
