11/4

King Of Stars^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| D

20/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago. Has dropped a long way in the weights and he needs a close look back in 0-85 company for the first time since April 2021.

Form: 3459/37

First run since leaving Archie Watson when coming home nineteenth of 22 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 79 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do.

Almarada Prince⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 83| D

Very good third of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 15/2) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Should give another good account.

Form: 078703

(9)

Acklam Express²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| D

11/1

Unreliable individual. Latest win at Salisbury in June. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 601503

(7)

Dashing Harry¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: James Horton| OR: 78| D

9/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/8) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and record stands at 2-4 on the AW. One to consider.

Form: 481421

(5)

Twilight Fun^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 75| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 10/11, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 32 days ago. Up 5 lb and now pitched into a higher-grade but he's clearly at the top of his game. Merits respect.

Form: 616011

(6)

Ecclesiastical¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: T Davidson| OR: 73| CD

40/1

C&D winner in September. 17/2, 3¾ lengths seventh of 10 to One Night Stand in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Again likely to find a few too strong.

Forecasts

One Night Stand (11/4), Dashing Harry (9/2), Rhythm N Hooves (5/1), Twilight Fun (13/2), Diomed Spirit (7/1), Almarada Prince (8/1), Acklam Express (11/1), King Of Stars (20/1), Ecclesiastical (40/1)

Having slipped to a dangerous mark, KING OF STARS could be worth chancing on his third run since returning from a lengthy absence in September. He failed to build on his encouraging comeback run when nearer last than first at Newcastle last month, but he was probably still short of match-fitness that day and this ease in grade could be just what the doctor ordered. Acklam Express will be a big threat if on a going day, while in-form pair Dashing Harry and Twilight Fun also command respect.
