Off time: 15:05 | Winning time: 5m 32.0s

Undisputed^h⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 107WS

11/2

Had the run of the race when collecting a Newton Abbot maiden in June. Not disgraced behind a useful sort next time and has undergone wind surgery since a poor effort on Boxing Day.

Form: 23-7127

Goodgirlteresa^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: M G Nolan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105

14/1

Form has a mixed look about it and due a good run having underperformed last time. Stable have been in decent form and a market move would be worth heeding.

Form: 5937-20

Your Wan⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Killian Moore⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 103

7/1

Half-sister to Synchronised who ought to do better for this longer trip on handicap debut. Stable's horses have been performing better and this initial mark allows her to be competitive.

Form: 4803

Neetside^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 102

7/1

Showed some improvement on handicap debut at Wincanton last time. If maintaining that progress she has every chance of going close in a weak race.

Form: 25F544

Tangley¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: N P Madden| T: H Fry| OR: 102

20/1

Form of last year's Wincanton victory amounts to little and she has more than her fair share of weight judged on that effort. On the plus side her trainer is in form and does well here.

Form: 801-569

Chandos Belle^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 99

7/2

Capable on the Flat in Germany for Christian Von Der Recke and ran well enough from this mark last time. This is hardly competitive and she has sound each-way claims having gone well in this grade previously.

Form: 25-0483

Flow With Eve^p,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: David England| T: O Murphy| OR: 98| BF

10/1

Shaped well on stable debut before a dismal effort last time. As the cheekpieces are retained it is likely the run may have come come too soon. Has been given a break since so worth checking if the market signals are more positive.

Form: 4277-26

Kaddys Dream^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 97

9/1

Has gone well on her last two starts here over different trips. Back to the longer distance of the two and hard to discount in a race as weak as this.

Form: 57/2-643

Georgian Firebird³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Leavy| OR: 97

50/1

Made all to the 125-rated Go West Young Man two years ago and would be well-handicapped on that run. Two efforts back from a layoff do not raise optimism that she is near to that standard.

Form: 28U1/F6

Sixties Idol^b,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 94| D

11/1

Opened her account at the 25th time of asking when appreciating the return to quicker ground. This is hardly more competitive, but the slower conditions are a worry off a 10lb higher mark.

Form: 725351

The Lady Rules⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 102

40/1

Has not made any progress in her last couple of starts and she was flattered last time. Handicapper raised her 5lb for that so she needs to improve considerably.

Form: 54333

Keep To The Beat¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: James Best| T: P Phelan| OR: 92

25/1

Has 11L to find with Sixties Idol and is 11lb better off, but the slower forecast conditions have to be a concern for her also.

Form: 1472/U3

Versifier⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 92WS

15/2

Has shown signs of ability in bumpers. Has sunk in the weights after her latest run which also prompted wind surgery. Bred to stay and less exposed than many of these.

Form: 724-P78

Am I Appropriate²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Alex Ferguson⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 92

33/1

Runner-up in a weak summer bumper and none of her starts over hurdles have shown enough to suggest she is ready to win soon.

Form: 26P08

Forecasts

Chandos Belle (7/2), Undisputed (11/2), Your Wan (7/1), Neetside (7/1), Versifier (15/2), Kaddys Dream (9/1), Flow With Eve (10/1), Sixties Idol (11/1), Goodgirlteresa (14/1), Tangley (20/1), Keep To The Beat (25/1), Am I Appropriate (33/1), The Lady Rules (40/1), Georgian Firebird (50/1)

A few of these have been entered here in the hope of getting better ground than is forecast to be the case. The conditions will make this harder for Sixties Idol who bids to follow up an impressive Plumpton success. Flow With Eve was disappointing last time when the market signals were negative, but she would have claims on her previous effort. Goodgirlteresa is inconsistent but her yard are going well, whilst Chandos Belle has each-way claims. YOUR WAN is well related and makes her handicap debut over a trip that her pedigree suggests will yield significant improvement.
