Macari¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: Miss S West

Modest hurdle winner. Fifth in 2 Flat runs over longer trips in recent weeks. Drops to 1m for third start. Best watched.

Form: 55

Al Deebil²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

25/1

25/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Southwell (1m) on debut 28 days ago. Fox Avatar probably the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Fox Avatar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

9/2

Frankel gelding. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Noteworthy newcomer for leading connections.

Monsieur Fudge³⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: George Scott

6/4

Promising third on 7f Newmarket debut last August for Richard Hannon. It's taken a while for his new stable to get him back to the track but he's potentially useful.

Form: 3-

(4)

Pursuit Of Truth³⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Owen Burrows

11/1

Well held in 2 runs over 7f last summer. Gelded and best watched on belated return unless the betting suggests improvement is likely.

Form: 78-

Shamran²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 79

13/8

Fairly useful form when second in 1m Windsor novice in July. Only a well-held fourth of 14 in maiden at Southwell (1m again) since but it was a warm race. Good claims in this company.

Form: 424

Treasure Bay¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark Gillard

200/1

801/, last of 10 in novice at this course (7f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago.

Forecasts

Monsieur Fudge (6/4), Shamran (13/8), Fox Avatar (9/2), Pursuit Of Truth (11/1), Al Deebil (25/1), Macari (50/1), Treasure Bay (200/1)

MONSIEUR FUDGE appeals as one who could be capable of making up for lost time and can provide in-form George Scott with another winner. Shamran is the main threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Roger Varian newcomer Fox Avatar.
