Advindi^t1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 46

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 30 days ago, beaten 2f out. Application of a first-time tongue strap needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 80/0069-

C'mon Pompey¹³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 40

200/1

Study Of Man filly who hasn't yet offered much, rearing leaving stalls and always behind when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) in August. Off since and major improvement required.

Form: 095070-

(9)

Dandy Lichious^p,t⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 50| D

6/1

Landed a 7f claimer on final start for Paul W. Flynn at Dundalk in March. Struggled to get near that level in handful of turf starts for new yard during the summer so hopes pinned on return to all weather having a positive effect now. Betting may prove a useful guide.

Evoluir⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 47| C

17/2

Shed maiden tag on final start for Roger Fell over 6f here in October. Mixed bag for new yard subsequently, eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (6f) 43 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 421658-

Fact Or Fable^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 50| D

15/2

Dual 1m winner on turf during the summer and best effort for a while when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 735084-

Miss Billie⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: M Wigham| OR: 44

33/1

Poor mare. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 25/1) 60 days ago, driven under 3f out and weakening. More required.

Form: 467578-

(4)

Monsieur Fantaisie^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: P D Niven| OR: 50| CD

5/2

C&D winner who returned to form when staying-on third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 18/1) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back down at this level.

Form: 531073-

(10)

Platinum Jubilee^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: D Donovan| OR: 50

17/2

Fallen in weights following several indifferent efforts but produced one of her better efforts when fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 31 days ago. Claims with a repeat.

Form: 580805-

(8)

Star Of Atlantis¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 47

10/3

Modest filly. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 15 days ago, no extra final 1f. Not long with her present yard and she may yet have more to offer at a low level.

Form: 009697-

(1)

Tathmeen^p⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 45| C

20/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 28/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 60 days ago, headway final 1f and keeping on. Each-way possibilities back from 2 months off.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: I W McInnes| OR: 44

125/1

40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Shaun Harris.

Form: 0676/09-

Wedgewood Sapphire¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

12/1

Winner at Lingfield (7.6f, turf) in June. 40/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in July, weakening from 3f out. Still needs to prove herself as effective on synthetics now returning from 5 months off.

Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (5/2), Star Of Atlantis (10/3), Dandy Lichious (6/1), Fact Or Fable (15/2), Evoluir (17/2), Platinum Jubilee (17/2), Wedgewood Sapphire (12/1), Tathmeen (20/1), Advindi (25/1), Miss Billie (33/1), The Muffin Man (125/1), C'mon Pompey (200/1)

C&D winner MONSIEUR FANTAISIE showed the benefit of a pair of recent runs when third at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago and he's a definite player with a repeat back down at this level. Fact or Fable also ran well when just behind the selection latest and rates a threat with a repeat. Market confidence behind Dandy Lichious and Advindi would also need to be viewed positively, whilst Star of Atlantis isn't dismissed lightly, either.
