Broadhaven Honey^b²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: R Harris| OR: 68| D

6/1

Winner over 5f on good ground at Chepstow in August, and excuses next time. Took form to a new level when scoring at Brighton last time by 1L from Toni's A Star under this apprentice. Essentially 7lb higher now, as rider has lost his useful claim.

Form: 225151

Sky Gypsy⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: D H Brown| OR: 67| CD

8/1

Scored off 7lb lower over C&D in April, and couple of solid efforts subsequently. Not at her best on last two turf starts., however, and needs to bounce back returned to Tapeta.

Danehill Desert^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65| D

13/2

Runner-up four times this season, and easy enough to forgive latest soft-ground flop in isolation. Handicap record reads 0-12, though, and he doesn't look the heartiest at times, so opposable with cheekpieces retained.

Form: 622720

Swendab^b,h⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 63| CD

20/1

Scored over C&D on three of last four 2017 outings, and back to winning ways at Ffos Las in August. Lower in weights than for last course success, but needs to be forgiven a poor effort here on his most recent outing.

Another Angel⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 56| D

5/4

Shed maiden tag by making all to win a 5f handicap on this surface at Newcastle, and proved that was no fluke by scoring again over same C&D last time. Hat-trick looks very much on the cards assuming he's as effective around a bend.

Astrophysics²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: P Aspell| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 58| D

25/1

Ran well at Mussleburgh two starts back but took a backward step in a weaker contest than this at Newcastle last time, and he's proving more hit than miss at present.

Form: 0-95837

Teepee Time^b⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 53| CD

33/1

Sprung a 25/1 shock in amateur riders' event at Leicester in June, and bounced back from a couple of poor runs when a respectable fourth at Haydock last time. No telling if she will build on that,

Form: 166704

Carlovian^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: M Walford| OR: 52

13/2

Won at Ayr (7f, firm) in June, and back on track when placed on last couple of starts, most recently when 2L third of 13 to Supaulette at Newcastle last time. Should remain competitive, although drop to 5f a worry given he stays 1m well.

Form: 559533

Red Stripes^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| D

7/1

Has won twice for current yard, but still expensive to follow, and needs to have everything in his favour. Running well enough to figure, but more likely to finish second than he is to win.

ANOTHER ANGEL has taken off recently, and was value for extra when winning cosily at Newcastle last time. This track might suit even better, and he can land a rapid-fire hat-trick. Broadhaven Honey has chances after winning at Brighton, for all her rider has since ridden out his useful claim, and Red Stripes can make the frame once more, albeit making limited appeal for win purposes given his overall record.
