Looking For Lynda¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| D

9/2

Won a big-field York handicap (5f) last summer and plenty of solid efforts this season, back on track when third at Hamilton 12 days ago. Can give a good account.

Form: 323773

(5)

Alligator Alley^t,v¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

12/1

Capitalised on a drop in grade under a shrewd ride at Thirsk 5 days ago. Still fairly treated on his best form but this is a much more competitive environment than last time.

Form: 993861

(8)

Acklam Express²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: C G Cox| OR: 82| D

14/1

Formerly a smart sprinter and, having tumbled down the weights, he capitalised to make his fourth start for Clive Cox a winning one at Salisbury (5f) in June. Didn't quite fire at Yarmouth next time but can't be written off.

Form: 00-6015

Grace Angel^b,t⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 77| D

12/1

Confirmed promise of previous effort when scoring at Brighton 8 days ago and has already run well here this season, so deserves plenty of respect despite the penalty.

Form: 682041

Lil Guff²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 81| BF| D

11/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Sandown in July and did just about enough to think she's still in form when sixth at Ascot next time. One to consider.

Form: 037216

(3)

Nazron¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Varian| OR: 81| D

5/1

Completed a simple task in a Lingfield maiden on final start last year and has produced creditable efforts when placed so far this season, never nearer when third at Chester last time. Can get involved if things drop right.

Form: 321-223

(6)

Good Earth²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: M Herrington| OR: 77| D

7/1

Has been given a big chance by the handicapper and has been better than recent form figures suggest, travelling well but poorly drawn when ninth in a competitive event at York last time. One to consider.

Form: 006569

(11)

Spring Is Sprung¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 76| CD

16/1

Already a dual winner this term and showed he's still in good order at Musselburgh last time. Has track experience and could be involved.

Form: 741173

(4)

Etoile d'Alexandre^h,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 77

11/2

Switched yards and showed improved form on return/handicap debut when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in July and back on track when third at Chepstow a week ago. Probably still has more to offer for this yard and is worth taking a chance on.

Form: 435-123

(7)

Balmoral Lady¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 73| D

6/1

Invincible Army filly. Finished runner-up first 3 starts in novice/maidens and step forward when winning 10-runner handicap at Haydock in July. Only sixth at Goodwood next time but she's still unexposed.

Form: 22216

(12)

Showhound²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

80/1

Lightly-raced winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 21 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 312-96

Forecasts

Looking For Lynda (9/2), Nazron (5/1), Lil Guff (11/2), Etoile d'Alexandre (11/2), Balmoral Lady (6/1), Good Earth (7/1), Faro De San Juan (10/1), Grace Angel (12/1), Alligator Alley (12/1), Acklam Express (14/1), Spring Is Sprung (16/1), Showhound (80/1)

ETOILE D'ALEXANDRE is still low mileage for a shrewd stable and ran well at Chepstow last time so, despite a quick turnaround, she could be worth chancing in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out winners Alligator Alley and Grace Angel are obvious dangers.
