Mr Tyrrell¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 80| D

5/1

Gained his first win on his 20th start last time out at Windsor but flattered by being held up off a strong pace that day and not guaranteed to back that up here from a 3lb higher mark.

Form: 23243-1

(7)

Kenstone^p¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 80| D

14/1

A winner at Chepstow in August and declared a non-runner four times since due to soft ground. Ought to get his conditions here and back on a workable mark if ready to go on his return.

Form: 602170-

Confrontational^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: J Candlish| OR: 80| D

7/1

Hasn't won on turf since his maiden success in 2016. In good form around Dundalk earlier in the year but has lost his way since and looks vulnerable on his return to turf.

Form: 7-11736

(5)

Kharbetation¹⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79| D

5/1

Lost his form towards the back end of last year but only 2lb above his last winning handicap mark as a result. The ground has come in his favour and he's an interesting contender if ready to go on his return.

Form: 225499-

(2)

Lady Of Aran⁵²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79| BF

7/2

Getting better with every start when last seen as a juvenile but entitled to need this run on her return from a lengthy absence here.

Form: 4212/

(6)

Mutarakez²³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| D

20/1

A four-time winner on turf but hasn't been seen since the end of the summer and all his best form has come with a bit of cut in the ground. Can be slow to break and looks opposable on his return here.

Form: 660400-

Juanito Chico^h,t²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| D

2/1

Starting to look very well handicapped on his form from 2017 and bounced back with a much better effort at Chelmsford on Friday. Fascinating contender if he takes his chance here.

Form: 833872

Forecasts

Juanito Chico (2/1), Lady Of Aran (7/2), Kharbetation (5/1), Mr Tyrrell (5/1), Confrontational (7/1), Kenstone (14/1), Mutarakez (20/1)

KENSTONE will relish this ground and he finds himself on a nice handicap mark on seasonal bow here. Juanito Chico is a danger to all if making a speedy reappearance after a return to form at Chelmsford on Friday. Kharbetation is another who will appreciate conditions and warrants respect.
