Shamardia⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed| OR: 58| C

9/2

Two wins from 5 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago. Another personal best needed under a penalty but that's by no means beyond the realms of possibility.

Form: 9-65121

(2)

A Pint Of Bear^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. 2¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Shamardia in handicap at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win perspective.

Form: 396504

Split Elevens¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: J Butler| OR: 57| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 15 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in September. Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Probably a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 131147

Bossy Parker¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Elliott| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 56| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 14 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark and he's one to consider in an open-looking race.

Form: 004065

Stella Hogan^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 56| D

5/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form third of 6 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 32 days ago. Remains with just one win to her name from 15 career starts but she's often thereabouts. Each-way player.

Form: 250243

(5)

Till It Shines^b1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 58

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 5 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 46 days ago. Blinkers enlisted for this handicap/tapeta debut and she needs to take a sizeable step forward.

Form: 3545

(11)

Bits And Bobs^v³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Walford| OR: 57

20/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 626370

(4)

Bear To Dream²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 54| D

28/1

Latest win at Brighton in August. Last of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 20 days ago. In good form prior to that and she could have a part to play if able to bounce back now returned to the AW.

Form: 134149

(1)

Interestnpenalties²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 4/1) 20 days ago. Remains on a fair mark and he should be on the premises once more.

Form: 462223

(3)

Saffredi²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 56

5/1

First run since leaving Gavin Cromwell when fifth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Down another 2 lb and drop back to 7f could work in his favour, so he could get competitive here if taking to this surface.

Form: 236495

(9)

Badosa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: P Morris| OR: 55

125/1

100/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago and this filly is probably best watched for now.

Form: 467000

(6)

Sea The Buckthorn^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: M D I Usher| OR: 47| CD

18/1

C&D winner off this mark in January, which is his sole success from 24 career starts. Tongue strap on for 1st time (omitted here) when tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 16/1) 27 days ago. Back down in trip and looks vulnerable.

Form: 344800

Forecasts

Split Elevens (4/1), Shamardia (9/2), Saffredi (5/1), Stella Hogan (5/1), Interestnpenalties (7/1), Bossy Parker (15/2), A Pint Of Bear (8/1), Sea The Buckthorn (18/1), Bits And Bobs (20/1), Bear To Dream (28/1), Till It Shines (100/1), Badosa (125/1)

Several to consider in this competitive handicap. SAFFREDI is 0-11 but he posted several decent efforts in Irish handicaps for Gavin Cromwell and shaped well starting out for new connections at Bath last month. The return to this trip looks a good move and he could be the answer. Bossy Parker wasn't beaten far here recently and is feared most ahead of recent course winner Shamardia and Stella Hogan.
