Glens Wobbly²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 64| D

16/1

Veteran performer who has struggled on his last few starts. Still capable on a going day but may need some of today's rivals to falter.

Form: 443480

Ban Shoof^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| BF| C| D

5/1

Well held on his last two starts despite being towards the top of the market. Needs to up his game if he is to win this competitive heat.

Form: 323426

Henry Croft¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

9/4

Finally off the mark off a reduced AW mark at Chelmsford last time. Races off 7lb higher on turf but that win should have done his confidence some good and can be involved again here.

Form: 9-88521

Miss Inga Sock^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 63| CD

20/1

Five-time winner on turf, most recently at Epsom in August (1m2f, good to soft); has been beaten a long way on last two starts however and this previous C&D winner needs to do much more. Yard won this race in 2016.

Form: 614-500

Sing A Rainbow^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 66| C

5/1

Frankel filly who won well here over 1m4f two starts back. Never really happy at Chelmsford last time and a return to this venue should suit.

Form: 08817

Nyala^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 65| C

7/1

The application of a hood has made the difference. Having run well at Chepstow two starts back she pulled away for a comfortable success at over 1m here last time. Up 3lb but going the right way and sound claims once again.

Form: 434531

Couldn't Could She¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 65| D

25/1

has looked in the grip of the handicapper since her win at Windsor earlier in the summer. Goes well for this young claimer though and a return to form here would not be a big surprise.

Form: 134270

Widnes^t,v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 61

7/1

Has fallen below his last winning mark and there were signs at Yarmouth last time that a return to form is on the cards. Player if building on that now.

Form: 134674

(9)

Sarstedt¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 62

14/1

Yet to win in nine starts and he is starting to become difficult to place. Struggled over 7f at Wolverhampton last time and now goes significantly up in trip.

Form: 05-4670

(11)

Katabatika^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 57

12/1

Bounced back to form in second-time blinkers at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time. Nudged up 3lb for not winning which makes life tougher here.

Form: 37-5662

(3)

Spring Dixie²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss N L-Beavis| OR: 45

66/1

Winner in the Channel Islands on firm ground in July last year. Struggled in two starts there in August and tailed here latest. best watched for now.

Form: 214-050

Carolyn's Voice^t1¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 48

20/1

Struggled on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last time. Drops in trip now with the tongue-tie added and Silvestre De Sousa on board. Market check needed.

Forecasts

Henry Croft (9/4), Ban Shoof (5/1), Sing A Rainbow (5/1), Nyala (7/1), Widnes (7/1), Amitie Waltz (8/1), Katabatika (12/1), Sarstedt (14/1), Glens Wobbly (16/1), Carolyn's Voice (20/1), Miss Inga Sock (20/1), Couldn't Could She (25/1), Spring Dixie (66/1)

Last time out winners Henry Croft and Nyala should both be capable of further progress and are respected here, especially the latter who shapes like this longer trip will suit. A chance is taken that CAROLYN'S VOICE can show some improvement now from a basement mark dropped in trip with Silvestre De Sousa on board.
