Airshow^p,h¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in August. 6½ lengths eighth of 11 to Embarked in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 18 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Likely type to bounce back.

Form: 643128

Rob's Umberella¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 7 months/gelded, offered little when last of 11 in handicap (125/1) at Catterick (7f, soft) 15 days ago. Return to tapeta needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 4450

Bicep¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68| D

13/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago, seemingly stretched by the trip returned to a stiffer track. No surprise to see a better showing returned to 7f.

Bella Taslina^p⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: C G Cox| OR: 69| D

11/2

33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Drop back down in grade likely in her favour.

Heretic^t⁶³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 66WS

50/1

Lightly raced 5-y-o who made final start for Hugo Palmer a winning one at Newcastle (1m) in January 2023. Changed hands for 10,000 gns a month later and the betting can prove an informative guide on belated return/following wind surgery.

Form: 4206/1-

Embarked^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 66| CD

9/1

Won 11-runner handicap (13/2) at this C&D 18 days ago, value for extra having been the only one at the finish who had raced up with the strong pace. Shortlisted in follow-up bid from 3 lb higher mark.

Highland Olly³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| BF| D

5/1

Winner at Musselburgh in August. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft, 3/1) 37 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Can give another good account returned to AW.

Form: 638713

Only In Jakarta^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 66| D

17/2

Last of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) 37 days ago, weakening when hampered over 1f out. Needs to bounce back.

Makalu¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| C| D

20/1

Course winner. 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Seventh of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Enters calculations.

Form: 342287

Snash^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| C

10/3

Course winner. 9/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Return to class 5 company looks in his favour and the assessor continues to relinquish his grip.

Form: 004454

Forever A Diamond^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 63| D

22/1

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago, forced wide home turn and running on. Comes here operating 3 lb below last winning mark and she's one to consider.

Form: 545336

King Of York^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 28/1) 18 days ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Embarked.

Form: 777087

Forecasts

Snash (10/3), Highland Olly (5/1), Bella Taslina (11/2), Bicep (13/2), Only In Jakarta (17/2), Embarked (9/1), Airshow (10/1), King Of York (10/1), Makalu (20/1), Forever A Diamond (22/1), Heretic (50/1), Rob's Umberella (50/1)

EMBARKED did best of those who had raced up with the strong pace when successful over C&D 18 days ago and a 3 lb rise should see him competitive again. Forever A Diamond and Grant Tuer's pair Bicep and Highland Olly are others to consider. Heretic on belated return for his new yard also commands a market check for positive vibes.
