Edge^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 57| D

3/1

No wins in 2018, but went very close when just touched off at Wolverhampton last time. Up 2lb, but is in form and should be thereabouts.

Form: 246632

Mr Andros^b,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: B G Powell| OR: 55| C

14/1

Runner-up twice during the summer, but last two efforts have been disappointing. Only 1lb higher than when last successful, however.

Form: 652209

Hidden Stash^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 52| C| D

20/1

Successive placings at Brighton before flopping over C&D on latest outing. Capable of going well off this mark, but needs to bounce back.

Form: 150320

Mans Not Trot^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 55

5/2

First run in a handicap when a good third at Kempton six days ago. Runs off the same rating and could go close if finding a little more improvement.

Form: 5283

Sukhovey¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 53

8/1

Still looking for her first win after 10 attempts, latterly over 1m2f. Hopes are pinned on drop in trip and reduced handicap rating.

Form: 247495

Cristal Pallas Cat^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 52

6/1

Kempton winner last December, but recent displays, including at this track, have not suggested a repeat success is imminent. Handicapper has given him a chance, however.

Form: 804555

(6)

Song Of Summer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 51

12/1

Although she has failed to hit the frame on recent starts, she has run with credit. Down to a lenient mark and is capable of a bold show.

Form: 850545

Galloping Hogan^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: S Kirk| OR: 51| BF| D

8/1

Fair effort at Kempton last time and has been given hope by a 2lb drop in the weights. First-time blinkers may eke out some improvement so he is one to bear in mind.

Form: 079455

Percy Toplis^p⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45| D

33/1

Yarmouth winner off this rating in July, but last two runs have been disappointing. AW record is ordinary so he has quite a bit to prove.

Form: 518400

Pam's Angel⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak| OR: 45

14/1

Unplaced in six starts on turf and the AW. Plenty to do despite being dropped 6lb since her last run.

Forecasts

Mans Not Trot (5/2), Edge (3/1), Cristal Pallas Cat (6/1), Galloping Hogan (8/1), Sukhovey (8/1), Song Of Summer (12/1), Mr Andros (14/1), Pam's Angel (14/1), Three C's (14/1), Hidden Stash (20/1), Percy Toplis (33/1)

The handicapper has given quite a few of these a chance, but there is a reason for that and it may pay to side with a horse on the up in the shape of MANS NOT TROT, who is lightly raced and shaped much better last time. Edge is in form and may chase him home, while others to consider are Mr Andros, Song Of Summer and Galloping Hogan.
