Close Of Play^t1¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 43

100/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) in August. Tongue strap on for 1st time and she has it to prove back from an absence.

Dash Gordon^t1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Appleby| OR: 50| BF| D

4/6

4-y-o who was successful on final start for Alex French at Newcastle (5f) in October. Failed to justify support for new connections/after 3 months off when third of 11 in minor event back there 4 days ago but he may come on for that. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth another chance.

Form: 03571-3

Enchanted Night^p⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: C Wallis| OR: 43| D

50/1

Unreliable sort. One win from 58 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 40/1) 55 days ago. Others make greater appeal starting out for new yard.

Hi Hoh Tonto⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Wintle| OR: 47| BF

16/1

Unreliable sort. Seventh of 10 in handicap (2/1) at this course (6.1f) 63 days ago, weakening final 1f. Another to have switched yards ahead of this but pick of previous form for former stable gives him a shout.

Form: 034237-

Liv Lucky¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 48| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Below form seventh of 12 in minor event at this course (6.1f, 10/1) 12 days ago, weakening final 1f. Pick of last year's efforts gives her claims, however.

Form: 85010-7

(4)

Magic Fluke¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 12 in minor event (14/1) at this course (6.1f) 12 days ago, no extra when headed 1f out. Task is to build on that run now.

Form: 80067-5

May Remain^p,t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 46| C| D

12/1

Modest gelding. Not seen to best effect after 4 days off when sixth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 8 days ago, hampered. Cheekpieces back on and he's not out of things.

Form: 8444-86

(1)

Rajwaan^p1,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 47| CD

33/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 16 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 960599-

Stroxx^b⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 46| D

16/1

One win from 55 Flat runs. 33/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Likely to come up short again on balance of recent efforts. Usual blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 53595-6

Trulie Good^t,v¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: S R Bowring| OR: 47| CD

14/1

Modest mare. C&D winner. 28/1, below form after 10 months off when sixth of 12 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 12 days ago. That ought to have blown the cobwebs away and she wouldn't have to step up a great deal to play a part here. Respected.

Form: 24176-6

(7)

Ustath⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: Roger Fell| OR: 47| CD

25/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. However, not at best in recent months coming in last of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1) 8 days ago. Reverts back to the minimum trip now.

Form: 1876-60

Forecasts

Dash Gordon (4/6), Magic Fluke (5/1), Liv Lucky (10/1), May Remain (12/1), Trulie Good (14/1), Stroxx (16/1), Hi Hoh Tonto (16/1), Ustath (25/1), Rajwaan (33/1), Enchanted Night (50/1), Close Of Play (100/1)

DASH GORDON failed to justify support when third on debut for Mick Appleby at Newcastle 4 days ago, yet that was still a respectable effort on the back of a 4-month break, and he's worth another chance equipped with a tongue tie for the first time. Trulie Good, Hi Hoh Tonto and Liv Lucky may emerge as the lead threats.
