Inspireus²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 100

11/4

Fair 24L fourth over an extended 2m5f on good ground at Newton Abbot earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the run and interesting back in handicap company.

Form: 445-744

Sea's Aria¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: M R Hoad| OR: 100

4/1

Finished a decent third in a 2m3f contest at Fontwell (good) last month. Below that form at Worcester subsequently and interesting with a promising jockey booked to ride.

Form: 364239

Rasasee^v1⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 92

9/4

Handicap mark is plummeting following some heavy defeats during the summer. Market support would be notable with a visor applied for the first time racing off a career low mark.

Form: 25-5769

Dowhatudodobest²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: J E Moore| T: P W Middleton| OR: 83

7/1

Placed twice in point-to-points in Ireland in the spring but has struggled since going under Rules. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 3-2664

Mount Vesuvius^t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 79

9/1

Well beaten in two starts since returning from a break. Drop in trip should suit having finished 24L eighth over 3m2f last time out.

Form: 234P-68

Elusive Cowboy^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss M P Bryant| OR: 70

25/1

Pulled up at Huntingdon (2m, good) at the end of May and well held over 2m here on his return to action a month ago. Others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap.

Form: 89P-7P9

Chasing Headlights^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 69

9/1

Maiden after ten starts and beaten 22L in a 3m handicap chase at Southwell (good) last time out. Plenty to prove racing from out of the handicap.

Form: 957-457

Forecasts

Rasasee (9/4), Inspireus (11/4), Sea's Aria (4/1), Dowhatudodobest (7/1), Mount Vesuvius (9/1), Chasing Headlights (9/1), Elusive Cowboy (25/1)

INSPIREUS can defy top weight and make a winning return to handicap company in the final race on the card. The selection ran a decent race in novice company last time out and can get the better of handicap debutant Dowhatudodobest who should appreciate this switch to handicap company. Third place can go to Rasasee who is sporting a visor for the first time following some moderate efforts.
