Almunther^p,t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 61| D

14/1

Benefitted from a track bias when winning at Pontefract in a 0-70 handicap back in July over 1m2f (made all). Has shown nothing in two starts since pulled up once and finishing last on his final start; now dropped markedly in grade.

Form: 2-241P0

Caramuru^v1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: J Santos| OR: 65

20/1

Wolverhampton 1m1f winner earlier in the year on his second start for this yard showing improved form in first-time cheekpieces (seen to maximum effect). Failed to show anything like that until last time; now dropped in grade and switches to turf.

Form: 009907

Warrior's Spirit^v²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: A D Brown| OR: 60

10/1

Ended long losing run on just his second start for this yard cashing in on a falling mark in a Carlisle handicap over 1m. Failed to follow up but was back on track last time in a C&D seller; fared best of those from off the pace.

Form: 667183

King Of Naples³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| C

14/1

Course winner and the highest rated in this field on official marks it's hard to see if he can still run to that rating. Well beaten in an AW claimer on his first run for this yard he was pulled up in a 1m seller here last time; questions to answer.

Form: 083-79P

(5)

Vincent's Forever⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: E De Giles| OR: 67

9/4

Fair handicapper at his best and ran a little better than for some while on his second run back from a wind op at Leicester over 1m4f. Ran poorly last time and now drops in grade over a shorter trip; can be given a chance at the weights at his best.

Form: 740538

(8)

I'm Yer Man^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 58

9/1

Has run some fair races in handicaps this year (below form last time) with his best performance coming in a C&D seller on his penultimate outing. Well positioned in that a repeat would see him go close if he bounces back.

Form: 505028

Sunhill Lad^b⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 50

20/1

Tried at a variety of trips this year without any real success including when well beaten in a C&D seller (two of today's rivals finished in front of him); wore first-time blinkers. Back to form last time in low-grade AW handicap over 1m; quirky sort

Form: 657964

Acadian Angel¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 59

11/4

On a long losing run which now stretches back 17 runs now but has run some fair races in handicaps and now drops to this grade for the first time. Not seen to best effect here over 7f last time but there must be a question mark over this trip.

Form: 423838

(7)

My Cherokee^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 40

66/1

Had just the one run for the Michael Dods yard last year before joining this stable but has shown very little for them in a variety of races. Only had one try at a trip further than 1m and hard to construct a solid case even dropped in grade.

Form: 7-88986

(6)

Newgate Duchess³⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 28

100/1

Not seen since last year her four runs in maidens/sellers have failed to show anything and she looks of little or no account.

Form: 6766-

(9)

Kirbec^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 57

4/1

15 starts and despite the some fair outings her maiden status remains intact and overall her profile is an inconsistent one. Tried in various headgear she failed to fire over 1m4f last time in a handicap and others make more appeal.

Form: 757885

Forecasts

Vincent's Forever (9/4), Acadian Angel (11/4), Kirbec (4/1), I'm Yer Man (9/1), Warrior's Spirit (10/1), King Of Naples (14/1), Almunther (14/1), Barnay (14/1), Sunhill Lad (20/1), Caramuru (20/1), Little Pippin (20/1), My Cherokee (66/1), Newgate Duchess (100/1)

Not an event that you would want to be placing the mortgage on with several of these having profiles that can only be described as inconsistent. The highest rated horse in this King Of Naples is very hard to trust whilst Acadian Angel who has a leading chance on form may struggle to stay this trip. Therefore it may pay to rely on the form of a C&D seller here where I’M YER MAN finished just in front of Warrior’s Spirit, the former will need to bounce back from a poor outing last time but his course form tips the balance in his favour. Vincent’s Forever and Almunther are two others with handicap form that would be good enough to win this if they are on their game.
