Cadeau Magnifique^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| D

6/1

Hasn't won for t along time but seems to have struck up a good partnership with this rider having finished second on his last two starts. Leading player once gain if able to back that up now dropped back to a mile.

Form: 463922

Pendo¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Dayverson De Barros| T: J R Best| OR: 70| CD

8/1

Best from tends to come on the AW and is a C&D winner. Has now dropped 7lb below his last winning mark which makes him very attractively handicapped here. Market check essential and interesting if money comes.

Form: 267-938

Coverham^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 70

10/3

Finished a close second in a rough finish over C&D last time. Races here off the same mark today and likely to be in the thick of the action once more having won three times already this year.

Form: 171582

Tripartite⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: T E Whelan| T: P W Middleton| OR: 67

10/1

Mark is dropping all the time as from has dropped off somewhat of late. First-time visor showed no benefit at Yarmouth four days ago and that is no disposed of and drops back in trip. Needs to bounce back.

Agar's Plough⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71| BF

7/1

Ran well at Newbury two starts back when finishing a close-up third. Failed to back that up when sent off favourite at Newcastle next time and needs to do more.

Form: 5-76630

Mutanaasib²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: G Peckham| OR: 70

16/1

Best effort in three starts came here on debut over 7f. two weak efforts followed however and now makes handicap debut off what looks a stiff mark. Early days and improved possible but will need to.

Form: 585

(4)

Pickett's Charge^p⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Yuga Kawada| T: B Ellison| OR: 63| D

7/1

Winning for the third time in his career when well backed at Newcastle last time. Up 5lb for that but still more than capable off this higher mark on old form. Leading contender once more.

Form: 4-53781

Plentyinthetanksir^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 66| CD

5/2

C&D winner three starts back. Didn't look to stay 1m2f next time then ran with credit back over a mile here last time. Only 4lb higher than for his win and solid claims of going well again.

Form: 898152

Thunderhooves³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B Doyle| T: J Ryan| OR: 58

40/1

Unplaced all five starts so far showing very little ability. Mystery how he has received his current mark, although has been eased 4lb since latest tailed off effort.

Form: 80-855

Forecasts

Plentyinthetanksir (5/2), Coverham (10/3), Cadeau Magnifique (6/1), Pickett's Charge (7/1), Agar's Plough (7/1), Pendo (8/1), Tripartite (10/1), Mutanaasib (16/1), Thunderhooves (40/1)

Pendo is lurking on a dangerous mark and would become of real interest should the market speak positively about his chances. Pickett's Charge is respected having won well at Newcastle last time and is capable off this higher mark. COVERHAM is the selection having gone close here last time in a rough finish, hopefully things will be smoother this time and he can record his fourth victory of the year.
