Bogart^p³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss H T Lees⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77| D

8/1

110-rated sprinter in his pomp. Well beaten when weakening over Southwell's 5f last month. Not the force of old but worth a market check running in this company. First run since wind-op.

Form: 22609-7

Art Obsession¹⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

7/1

Won a Class 4 handicap over 6f in July at Doncaster but has generally struggled since. Well beaten on Newcastle's Tapeta last time out and may struggle here.

Form: 510800-

(2)

Toriano^v³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Danny Kerr⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 74

4/1

First-time visor brought about no improvement last time out when finishing ninth of 12 at Lingfield last month. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 807-169

(5)

Impart¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

7/2

Looked in need of the run when ridden by a 7lb claimer on his return to action before finishing last of seven at Wolverhampton last month when never troubling the leaders. Others preferred.

Form: 9822-67

(4)

Pulsating^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: A Watson| OR: 70| BF| D

3/1

Distance winner who has been generally solid and consistent since the turn of the year including a win at Kempton in February off a 3lb lower mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 321626

(7)

Maazel^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 69

5/1

One from 17 under rules bot without a win in seven starts on the AW. First time cheekpieces appeared to help last time out at Southwell and with headgear retained capable of a big say.

Form: 2-74863

(3)

It Must Be Faith^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| D

14/1

Racked up four wins quite early on in his career but its now over three years since he last had his head in front and disappointed over C&D last time out. Yard usually do well here around this time of year here.

Form: 2704-57

(6)

Arcanista^p⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr M S Harris⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 58| D

20/1

Has shown glimpses of returning to her best form in three promising starts at the end of the year. Worth a market check on return to the track.

Form: 410256-

Forecasts

Pulsating (3/1), Impart (7/2), Toriano (4/1), Maazel (5/1), Art Obsession (7/1), Bogart (8/1), It Must Be Faith (14/1), Arcanista (20/1)

The early speed of Toriano could take him to the front from stall 2 with the veteran Bogart, Impart and It Must Be Faith close behind. The pace throughout the race could be advantageous to PULSATING from the in form Archie Watson yard. The filly has been solid and consistent of late and deserves a change of luck.
