The Groove³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 68| BF| D

9/4

Consistent performer this season and got his head in front at Chepstow in August. Handles soft ground and looks a contender under his talented claimer.

Form: 214224

Duke Of North²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 67| D

20/1

Dual winner at Epsom in the summer, but both those wins were achieved on good to firm. Inching back down the weights and drying of the ground would be ideal.

Form: 115635

(14)

Pacific Salt¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 67| D

7/1

Nowhere near his best in three runs this season. Sliding down the handicap and perhaps the return to a softer surface may spark a revival.

Form: 639-786

(7)

Livvys Dream^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 70| D

6/1

Back to winning ways when scoring on the AW at Kempton last month. Has to cope with a 5lb rise back on turf, but underfoot conditions should be fine.

Form: 5-91561

(11)

Gerry The Glover^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 67| D

10/1

Good second of 12 at Epsom at the end of last month. Competes off the same mark and has winning form on soft going.

Form: 925572

Lothario⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 67

14/1

Three ordinary runs in novice company, two of them at this track. May do better switched to handicap company, but opening mark is not lenient.

Form: 660

(9)

Misu Pete^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 66| D

8/1

Newbury winner in August and decent efforts to be placed on last two starts off this mark. Should give it his best shot, but one or two of his rivals may be better treated.

Form: 321733

(13)

Hawridge Glory^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 65| D

16/1

Fair effort to finish second in a claimer over 1m2f at this venue earlier this month. Has winning form at this distance, but it is quite a long time since he got his head in front.

Form: 397502

(6)

Hedging^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 65| D

7/1

Fair efforts and not beaten far on last two starts. Handles cut in the ground and should not be too far away.

Form: 486734

Sheriff²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 68| D

50/1

Well held on recent outings and handicapper has dropped him in the weights. Needs to show more before becoming a betting proposition.

Form: 784096

(2)

Zapateado^h,t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George| OR: 67| D

9/1

Chepstow winner on good going in August, but went up 6lb to this mark and could finish only fourth of 11 at Ffos Las. Looks to have a bit to find, but jockey's allowance should help.

Form: 265214

(4)

Aegean Legend¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 65

33/1

Returning from a lengthy break when a distant last of 12 over 6f at this venue a fortnight ago. Steps up in trip and is best watched.

Form: 35-0

(5)

Collate^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 65

25/1

Two runs for this stable since undergoing wind surgery have been disappointing. Handicapper has been lenient and first-time cheekpieces may help.

Form: 45-0999

(3)

Gloweth¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Keniry| T: W S Kittow| OR: 65| BF

16/1

Clear signs of ability in novice/maiden/handicap company and has scope for improvement after only five outings. Not without hope off this lower mark, but 2f rise in distance poses a big question.

Form: 64294

Forecasts

The Groove (9/4), Livvys Dream (6/1), Hedging (7/1), Pacific Salt (7/1), Misu Pete (8/1), Zapateado (9/1), Gerry The Glover (10/1), Lothario (14/1), Gloweth (16/1), Hawridge Glory (16/1), Duke Of North (20/1), Collate (25/1), Aegean Legend (33/1), Sheriff (50/1)

Collate looks the better of her stable's two runners, but bigger threats may be posed by Livvys Dream and Gerry The Glover. Misu Pete should run his usual solid race, but the vote goes to HEDGING, who has not been beaten far on his last two starts and handles cut in the ground. Top-weight The Groove also enters calculations.
