Lord Capulet¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60

7/2

Fair maiden. 5/1, bit below form when fourth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 13 days ago. This longer trip is worth a go. Respected.

Form: 240764

Echo Of Glory²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 60| BF

7/2

3/1, disappointed when sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago but possible the softish ground didn't suit. Close third off 3 lb higher on the previous occasion he was partnered by Billy Loughnane.

Form: 374256

Suzuka¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 60| BF

9/4

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford (1m) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Big player on her placed efforts at Lingfield and Kempton prior to that.

Form: 843325

(9)

Simba's Gift²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: C G Cox| OR: 60

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 12 on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 23 days ago, running on. Improvement needed.

Form: 7575

(10)

Moonlight Bomb²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 58

14/1

Tenth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Bath (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 362640

(5)

El Fox²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: M Botti| OR: 58

9/1

Modest maiden. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this course (9.5f) 28 days ago, having run of race.

Form: 7-05354

(4)

Nakatomi²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: A D Brown| OR: 58

28/1

First run since leaving Adrian Murray when eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 666988

(8)

Blue Point Express^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A Wintle| OR: 50

33/1

Winner at Chepstow in September. 15/2, last of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) 22 days ago, possibly amiss. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 046168

(3)

Keep Talking¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox| T: J S Moore| OR: 49

22/1

Maiden but has shown she's on a competitive mark when reaching the frame in course handicaps on last 2 outings. Should be in the shake-up again.

Form: 665744

(7)

Captain Pickles¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 47

20/1

11/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 505406

Forecasts

Suzuka (9/4), Echo Of Glory (7/2), Lord Capulet (7/2), Simba's Gift (7/1), El Fox (9/1), Moonlight Bomb (14/1), Captain Pickles (20/1), Keep Talking (22/1), Nakatomi (28/1), Blue Point Express (33/1)

SUZUKA has had a few chances but might be worth one more as she did have an excuse last time. It's possible Lord Capulet will benefit from this step up in trip and he's next on the list ahead of Stan Moore's Keep Talking.
