Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 96

18/1

Bagged 3m2f chases at Sedgefield in the spring. Off 11 weeks before a fading fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, good to firm) 63 days ago. Can build on it here.

Form: 24211-4

La Quarite^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 94| D

9/4

Much improved with tongue strap refitted when winning 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot in July. A fair third back hurdling at Uttoxeter since but weighted to go well back in this sphere.

Form: 2-43213

Jelski^p³³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 90| CD

11/4

Ended a long losing run in 10-runner handicap chase over C&D 33 days ago by short head from Judicial Review, battling well. Up 4 lb but this veteran is not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 90-3631

El Fabienne⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Todhunter| OR: 88

10/1

Fair maiden hurdler. First run since leaving Alastair Ralph when only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle (50/1) here (17.2f, heavy) 57 days ago. Much more needed now going chasing.

Form: 27862-8

Judicial Review^b,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: James Moffatt| OR: 87| CD

11/4

Has proved unreliable but he took this 12 months ago and posted a good short-head second of 10 to Jelski in handicap chase at this C&D 33 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 1-961P2

My Virtue^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 82

15/2

Modest 2m hurdles winner but yet to score in this sphere, only fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 12-2425

Fast Deal⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 65

40/1

It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2024 and he came in last of 8 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) 7 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere from 7 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Forecasts

La Quarite (9/4), Judicial Review (11/4), Jelski (11/4), My Virtue (15/2), El Fabienne (10/1), Heaven Smart (10/1), Ingennio (12/1), Old Page (18/1), Fast Deal (40/1)

LA QUARITE took a big step forward for Mickey Bowen when going in at Newton Abbot last month and can add to that success now reverting back to fences off a still handy-looking mark. Veteran Jelski could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent C&D success with the rejuvenated Judicial Review also in the mix.
