Archipentura¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: T Hamilton| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 50

11/1

Modest maiden who has yet to run on this surface and comes back here after a break and more will be needed even at this basement level.

Form: 9707-07

Autumn Tonic^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron| OR: 50

7/2

Modest handicapper with just one win to his name on the AW at Chelmsford over 6f. Yet to win a handicap and his last two efforts (both at Southwell) don't really suggest that he is winner waiting to happen.

Form: 727510

Hadley⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 50

8/1

Still a maiden after 10 starts (two over hurdles) and showed first form in a handicap when second over 6f here on penultimate start although didn't back that up last time out.

Form: 733342

Pull The Pin^b,t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby⁽³⁾| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 50

14/1

Has been around the block in terms of trainers and hasn't won since 2013. Three-time winner on this surface though and shaped as though the run would do him good last time out (first run for this yard) but not one to rely on overall.

Form: 2068-00

Zebelini^t,v1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: R Winston| T: S R Bowring| OR: 48

16/1

Had three tries at Southwell now (last three runs here) over 5-6f and made little impression each time.

Form: 807470

Bedazzling Lady⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Eddery| OR: 47

16/1

Modest maiden with a couple of bits of placed form on turf and AW to her name. Last two runs have been poor and a newcomer to the fibresand.

Form: 03309-6

(2)

Cadeaux Pearl⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 46

12/1

Should be capable at this level having won off much higher marks in the past. Handles this surface (won here three times) and should be able to take advantage of the rapid fall in the weights soon if not ridden too aggressively here.

Form: 547290

Kopassus^p⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 46

14/1

Still a maiden after 21 attempts and recent efforts have been poor. Needs to take a step forward to make his mark here especially from this draw.

Form: 704560

Saxony³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Lucy K Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 45

33/1

Showed first glimmers of form when fourth in a poor handicap last time out at Southwell over 6f. That piece of form would give her a chance here off a basement mark.

Form: 0090/06

(8)

Desert Chief¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

15/2

Starting to look a very difficult customer and hard to trust after nearly refusing to race time at Southwell over a mile. Despite coming from a respected yard one to be very wary of.

Form: 9475-09

(7)

Cerulean Silk¹²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

16/1

A couple of placed efforts, one at this track are the best that she can offer. Very much below form last time out and back from a break here.

Form: 430045

(5)

Wimboldsley¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

9/2

Has at least won here over 7f (2014) off a mark of 50 and showed a little bit of form last time over C&D when running a reasonable fifth. In the context of this race that form doesn't read badly and with his stable having looked to have turned the corner of late he has a chance here.

Form: 357460

Lily Cliff⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 45

14/1

Three runs so far all in maidens where she has shown very little and goes handicapping for the first time on a new surface.

Form: 009-

Forecasts

Autumn Tonic (7/2), Wimboldsley (9/2), Vocalisation (7/1), Desert Chief (15/2), Hadley (8/1), Archipentura (11/1), Cadeaux Pearl (12/1), Kopassus (14/1), Lily Cliff (14/1), Pull The Pin (14/1), Bedazzling Lady (16/1), Zebelini (16/1), Cerulean Silk (16/1), Saxony (33/1)

Both Wimboldsley and Cadeaux Pearl will have their supporters and rightly so as the pair have both shown the form to win in this grade in the past. Luke Morris is an interesting jockey booking for the handicap debutante Lily Cliff and Hadley can be given a chance if you base his chance on his penultimate run. Backing horses with no form on this surface is always risky but VOCALISATION has shown some ability of late and is worth risking here in a weak contest. 1. Vocalisation 2. Wimboldsley 3. Hadley
