Narrowly beaten over 5f on firm ground here on his penultimate start. Fair sixth subsequently and step up to this distance no issue.

Disappointing in two starts since finishing a head second over 6f at Chepstow (good-to-soft) in August. Needs to return to form.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Scott McCullagh| T: J Gallagher| OR: 69

Victorious by a head in a 6f handicap at Chepstow (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off a 2lb higher mark in this contest.

Form: 557461

Ignight^p⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 45

100/1

15 race maiden and well held in two starts since wind surgery. Probably best watched dropping back in distance in this event.

Form: 6800/77

Forecasts

Kasbah (9/2), Look Surprised (9/2), Little Palaver (5/1), Kinglami (6/1), Field of Vision (7/1), Belledesert (15/2), Major Valentine (10/1), Andalusite (10/1), Powerful Dream (12/1), Ignight (100/1)

MAJOR VALENTINE was a winner last time out and he is taken to defy a 2lb rise in the weights to take this competitive handicap contest. Kasbah who carries top weight here ran well at this venue on his penultimate start and he can finish runner-up ahead of Look Surprised who can put a disappointing latest start behind her.
