Karam Albaari^v⁸⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 54| C

20/1

Was in good nick earlier on in the year but form tailed off a little when last seen in July. Returns from a break here and would have decent claims off this sort of mark if raring to go with Adam Kirby booked.

Tyrsal¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: C Lines| OR: 52| C

16/1

Kept on well over slightly further at Yarmouth last time and is more than capable of getting involved off this sort of mark. Has won here over shorter in the past and not easily dismissed.

Ember's Glow²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51

11/2

Longstanding maiden who ran above himself when second from out of the handicap over 1m4f here last time. Slight drop in trip today and races off correct mark so every chance if able to reproduce that effort from last time.

Form: 070742

Celtik Secret²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Fran Berry| T: H Morrison| OR: 50

33/1

Has looked very one-paced at times and having had three starts in handicaps her mark is falling. Stopped very quickly over this C&D last time and now has plenty of questions to answer on second run since a wind operation.

Arlecchino's Arc^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54

7/2

Best effort so far when closing all the way to the line here over 1m4f last time. Slight drop in trip not ideal and nudged up 2lb but that was a step in the right direction and claims again with leading rider on board.

Good Impression^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR: 54

9/1

Seemed to improve for the step up in trip when not beaten all that far over 1m4f last time. Behind Arlecchino's Arc that day and has a 4lb pull with that rival so they should be closely matched.

Royal King^t⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 54

50/1

Big prices and well held on all three starts in novice events. Handicap debut today but needs plenty more to be involved.

Form: 798

Clearance¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48

7/2

Made a promising debut for this yard at Chlemsford (1m2f, AW) which is a trip that is short of his best. Extra yardage will help here and will be a leading player if able to build on that now.

Form: 475373

D'waterside⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: D Loughnane| OR: 48

7/1

Yet to trouble the judge in 11 starts on the AW and still a maiden under all codes. Hard to fancy and others preferred.

Form: 5-65757

(9)

Murhib³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 48

8/1

Gelded son of Sea The Stars who cost 550,000 gns as yearling but showed little in three starts in France in 2016. Two UK starts have been disappointing and he pulled too hard at Chelmsford last time. Could be dangerous if putting it all together.

Form: 358/06

(5)

True Destiny^b⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 52

12/1

Only managed three runs so far this year and was tailed off on return to action at Lingfield when last seen in July. Best watched again here.

Form: 00-780

(10)

Embankment³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46| C

66/1

No doubt he is well-handicapped but well held on two runs back from a summer break and now goes up in trip having been well held here on Tuesday.

Form: 090700

Shamonix^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

50/1

Won at Wolverhampton off 1lb lower earlier in the year but has been very in-and-out since. Capable on a going day but hard to predict.

Forecasts

Arlecchino's Arc (7/2), Clearance (7/2), Ember's Glow (11/2), D'waterside (7/1), Murhib (8/1), Good Impression (9/1), True Destiny (12/1), Tyrsal (16/1), Time To Perfection (16/1), Karam Albaari (20/1), Celtik Secret (33/1), Shamonix (50/1), Royal King (50/1), Embankment (66/1)

Karam Albaari is lurking on a good mark and could be dangerous with Adam Kirby booked. Arlecchino's Arc shaped well here last time and will be a big player if able to back that up now. Preference is for CLEARANCE who shaped nicely on debut for Gary Moore at Chelmsford last time and this extra yardage should be right up his street.
