Gentlemen^h⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Ended a long losing sequence in winning a tight finish over this C&D in a stronger grade. Change to more prominent tactics suited and every chance under 6lb penalty.

Form: 444971

Glenn Coco^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 77| C| D

16/1

Better suited by the AW but had no chance after saddle slipped early here last start. Could bounce back but does look a touch high in the weights.

Form: 823280

Wilbury Twist⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R Varian| OR: 76| D

7/4

Caught the eye from a poor position despite being beaten at odds-on and made short work of her opening mark on handicap debut subsequently. Only up 4lb and likely to go close.

Form: 36321

Young John⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 75| BF| D

7/2

Narrowly beaten when aiming for a third win in 12 days. Quick reappearance again and although 4lb rise shouldn't be an issue it is a big ask.

Form: 624114

Kadrizzi¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 75| C

10/1

On a long losing run but an eye-catching run returning from a 261-day absence when caught wide over this C&D. Has dropped to a low mark and could go well.

Form: 8-07805

Gabrial The Tiger¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

33/1

Failed to build on Musselburgh win back at Kempton and now unplaced in all seven AW starts which rates a clear concern.

Form: 100019

(9)

Wazin^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S Crisford| OR: 74

16/1

Ran up to the level of her Wolverhampton win when returning at Newcastle and remains lightly-raced with improvement possible up to this distance. Rates a leading hope.

Form: 4-43174

(4)

The Lamplighter^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: George Baker| OR: 71

8/1

13-race maiden had been threatening to breakthrough before a disappointing effort latest. More required to win at this level and others preferred.

Form: 468220

(3)

Enzo¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 70

66/1

Two wins for Ed Walker and nearly gained a first handicap success when second in final two starts for him. However well beaten on stable debut and best watched.

Form: 085220

(7)

Dashing Poet¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Main| OR: 65| C| D

10/1

On a competitive mark at present and goes well on this surface. Drop in trip isn't an issue and can go well off the back of two close seconds.

Forecasts

Wilbury Twist (7/4), Young John (7/2), Gentlemen (6/1), The Lamplighter (8/1), Kadrizzi (10/1), Dashing Poet (10/1), Glenn Coco (16/1), Wazin (16/1), Highland Acclaim (16/1), Gabrial The Tiger (33/1), Enzo (66/1)

Young John is in flying form and remains on a workable mark but the main question will be whether a fourth quickfire run will catch up with him. A repeat of his latest tactics would see Gentleman go close again while Wazin has presumably been kept back for a winter campaign and should have more to offer for an in-form stable. WILBURY TWIST should have plenty more improvement to come for her trainer and is likely ahead of the handicapper.
