Havana Pursuit¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

5/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 13 days ago. This is a drop in class but leap of faith required.

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not taken lightly.

Anif^p¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 55| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Pair of wins at Yarmouth this summer. 12/1, below par when sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (1m, soft) 13 days ago. Returns to AW in a bid to bounce back to form.

8/1

C&D winner. 17/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago. The return to 7f should suit. Needs considering.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 53

33/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (1m) when last seen in May but had been runner-up on his 2 outings prior to that, including AW. First run for yard after leaving Brian Ellison. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

14/1

Forecasts

Havana Pursuit (5/2), Ajrad (10/3), Reputation (6/1), Laura's Breeze (8/1), Anif (17/2), Available Angel (12/1), Honrado (14/1), Tenyatta (16/1), Morning Suit (16/1), Red Scotch (20/1), Northern Cracksman (33/1), Gimcrack Warrior (50/1)

REPUTATION arrives on the back of a few good efforts on Wolverhampton's tapeta and might prove the answer to the second division of this handicap. The return to 7f will suit Laura's Breeze and she's second choice ahead of Tenyatta, who is back on a winning mark if a break has had a reviving effect.
