Faro De San Juan^b,t³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 75| D

5/1

Back on the scoresheet at Windsor (5.1f) in July and he comes here in good nick, second of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, heavy, 8/1) 3 days ago. Can go well again back at the minimum trip.

Abate¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 74| CD

7/1

C&D winner who had a productive 2023, winning 4 times. Yet to get his head in front this time around but his mark has fallen plenty and best not judged too harshly on his latest thirteenth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, soft) 13 days ago having been poorly drawn. This rates less demanding.

Form: 073780

Last Outlaw⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Wigham| OR: 73| D

12/1

Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in 5f novice at Leicester in July. Creditable third despite refusing to settle when third of 5 on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since and he may yet have more to offer. Yet to encounter ground this slow, however.

Form: 513

Knicks^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72| C| D

8/1

Course winner who opened his account for this yard at Chester (5f) in May. Struggled in handful of starts thereafter but right back to form when third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f) 23 days ago, finishing fastest of all. Conditions will hold no fears and he's one to consider.

Form: 100803

Huddle Up²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Hector Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 72| D

15/8

Losing run stretches back to 2021 but knocking firmly on the door of late, the only one to make an impact from off the pace when third of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 29 days ago. Respected back at 5f.

Four Adaay¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| CD

7/1

Eased in weights and gained reward for her consistency when taking 7-runner Sandown handicap (5f, soft) in September. Creditable third from revised mark at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 10 days ago and live each-way claims again.

Form: 424213

So Smart^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: G Harris| OR: 68| D

11/1

Latest win at Chepstow in August. 16/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Can give a good account again.

Form: 341343

Object^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

17/2

Made a winning return at Catterick (5f, soft) in April. Largely held his form in defeat since and had little chance given where he raced when last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft, 10/1) 6 days ago. Lines up here on a competitive mark.

Form: 355440

Forecasts

Huddle Up (15/8), Faro De San Juan (5/1), Abate (7/1), Four Adaay (7/1), Knicks (8/1), Object (17/2), So Smart (11/1), Last Outlaw (12/1)

Previous course winner KNICKS produced easily his best effort since the spring when a fast-finishing third at Ayr 23 days ago and, with the drop back in trip/underfoot conditions holding no fears, he could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. Huddle Up and Abate head up the dangers.
