Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52| D

13/2

Seventh of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 34 days ago. Now 7 lb lower than when finishing third in a Wolverhampton handicap in February and he's an each-way player.

Form: 5-57307

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 51| C| D

12/1

Course winner. First run since leaving Denis Quinn when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 11 days ago. Visor back on and he's one to consider.

Form: 5-94754

Kodi Red²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 51| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 11/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 24 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Form: 469648

Pinjarra^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 50| CD

16/5

C&D winner. Winner here in August. Bit below form third of 7 in minor event at this course (5f, 10/3) 12 days ago, but he needs taking seriously back in handicap company.

Form: 254913

Sarabi^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: Michael Keady| OR: 51| D

12/1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 48| BF

Wrath Of Hector^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 46| D

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Good 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Pinjarra in minor event at this C&D (11/2) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 583473

Almavillalobas^v1⁴⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Best| OR: 45

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 9 in minor event at this C&D, very slowly away. Off 13 months ahead of this handicap/stable debut and first-time visor enlisted.

Form: 007/59-

(8)

Twilight Poppy⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Davies| T: K Frost| OR: 45

25/1

50/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere once more.

Form: 0459-85

(1)

Mishy's Star²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 45

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut and she's probably worth taking on.

Form: 9-60

Forecasts

Sam's Hope (3/1), Pinjarra (16/5), Kodi Red (11/2), Wrath Of Hector (11/2), Thismydream (13/2), Bernard Spierpoint (12/1), Sarabi (12/1), Lady Of The Champ (16/1), Almavillalobas (18/1), Twilight Poppy (25/1), Mishy's Star (66/1)

Having taken a step back in the right direction at Brighton recently, BERNARD SPIERPOINT could be the answer. He is on a good mark on that evidence and perhaps the refitted visor will aid his cause. Pinjarra had Wrath of Hector back in third when scoring over this C&D last month and they rate the main dangers, though Sam's Hope could also have a part to play.
