Our Man In Havana¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 72| D

6/4

Takes a big drop in class after some poor efforts at Chester and The Curragh (hugely outclassed) and on the form of his win at Haydock in JUly he holds a first-rate chance here. Has form on the surface and looks a major player.

Form: 241290

Bodybuilder¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T J Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

14/1

Recent form nothing to write home about, and was well beaten in a similar seller at Leicester last time out. Stiff task at the weights and others hold far stronger claims.

Form: 530275

(7)

Mirek⁹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 49

50/1

Has done nothing in four runs to suggest he's up to troubling the principals here and looks an unlikely winner.

Form: 7696

(10)

The Love Doctor¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 67

15/2

There's a couple of runs in the summer that give him some hope here, close seconds at both York (in a decent race) and Pontefract but he seems to have gone off the boil a little. Drop back to sprinting should help and not ruled out.

Form: 622556

Auntie Pam^p²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 64

5/2

She's run to a fairly consistent level this season without ever looking like a winner in waiting and her latest effort needs improving on if she's to take a hand here. Did run okay here in July though, which offers some hope.

Form: 236444

Highland Mary^v¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

9/1

The promise she showed in the summer looks a distant memory based on her last couple of efforts and she already seems to be going backwards. At the weights, one with a chance, but she needs this drop in grade to halt the slide.

Form: 652557

Pauvre Moi

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

33/1

Newcomer from a yard that know the time of day, so at the very least warrants a market check, but breeding suggests she'll want further than this.

Ruby Sound⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Steph Hollinshead

100/1

Has shown very little in two starts so far and certainly nothing to suggest she's up to wininng this.

Form: 97

(6)

Shesgotthelot^p1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Jones| T: J S Moore| OR: 65

11/1

No win in nine starts and has been mainly campaigned in France. There's one run at Deauville in July that offers some hope she can get involved, but recent efforts less encouraging and she's best watched here.

Form: 437756

(12)

Violet Beauregarde^h¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Ryan Powell| T: H J L Dunlop

28/1

Had clearly learnt a bit from her debut when a staying-on fifth here a fortnight ago, and extra furlong may help. Needs plenty more to score but is at least open to a little improvement and not ruled out on that alone.

Form: 95

(13)

Western Dynamisme²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: William Carson| T: H J L Dunlop

100/1

Not beaten a horse home in two starts and looks of very limited ability. Can't possibly be entertained as the winner.

Form: 88

Iconic Code¹⁰

Weight: 8-9| Age: 2

Inuk⁶

T: R Hughes J: Nicola Currie

Forecasts

Our Man In Havana (6/4), Auntie Pam (5/2), The Love Doctor (15/2), Iconic Code (8/1), Highland Mary (9/1), Shesgotthelot (11/1), Inuk (12/1), Bodybuilder (14/1), Violet Beauregarde (28/1), Pauvre Moi (33/1), Mirek (50/1), Ruby Sound (100/1), Western Dynamisme (100/1)

This race looks a bit more suitable than a few that THE LOVE DOCTOR has been taking in and he can get back to winning ways. Similar can be said for Our Man In Havana too and he should go a bit better back in calmer waters. Violet Beauregarde may improve to take bronze.
