Biotic¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| D

5/2

Back-to-back victories before finishing last of four, albeit beaten only ½L, over C&D a fortnight ago. Runs off the same mark and seems sure to give a good account.

Form: 0-64114

Warmhearted⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: A Watson| OR: 71| D

7/4

Firmly on the upgrade as she confirmed when winning in decisive fashion at Hamilton last time. First run in a handicap and has one of the country's top amateurs in the saddle.

Form: 5721

(6)

War Of Succession³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr James King| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 62| D

10/1

Winner of only one of his 14 starts, but has shaped really well on his last two outings. Up 1lb after being touched off over 7f at Brighton last time and this return to a longer trip is not an issue.

Form: 068-632

Misu Pete^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr C A Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62| D

15/2

Back to winning ways at Yarmouth in May and his second off 2lb lower at Newbury last time was an equally-sound effort. In good heart and is another to consider.

Form: 483102

Groundnut^p⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J Harding⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 69

9/2

Wore cheekpieces for the first time when winning a maiden at Brighton in September. Not so good in two starts when last seen in May, but has dropped down the weights.

Form: 2713-57

(7)

Aye Aye Skipper^b³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 54| D

14/1

Winner of five races who has shaped well to be second on his last two starts at Bath. Inching back up the handicap without winning, which is a slight concern.

Form: 264522

(3)

Enforcement¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr A Hark⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 55

50/1

Maiden after seven starts on the Flat and over hurdles. Well beaten in his only handicap on the level and has plenty to prove off 4lb lower.

Form: 688-0

Forecasts

Warmhearted (7/4), Biotic (5/2), Groundnut (9/2), Misu Pete (15/2), War Of Succession (10/1), Aye Aye Skipper (14/1), Enforcement (50/1)

Quite a competitive race for its type with the likes of Biotic, War Of Succession, Misu Pete and Groundnut afforded plenty of respect with a few things in their favour. However, handicap debutant WARMHEARTED may have their measure given she is improving, unexposed and the mount of one of the country's leading amateurs. Aye Aye Skipper is not out of it following two good runs at Bath.
