Off time: 17:41 | Winning time: 1m 37.87s

Kachumba¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: A Kirby| T: Rae Guest| OR: 72

13/2

Scored in fine style when fancied (5-2f) at her beloved Brighton (7f; good to firm) last time and does have a fair chance. Returns to 1m now off 5lb higher and has never won over the trip. Due to run 7.20pm Doncaster on Thursday.

Form: 7-43381

Duchess Of Avon⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62| D

7/2

More exposed than most but is in a good vein of form after she backed up her Brighton (1m; good to firm) win with a solid placed effort at Nottingham (1m; good) when third. Possibilities off the same mark.

Form: 4-50913

(6)

Universal Effect³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 68| BF

6/1

Drops back to 1m after making an okay handicap debut over slightly further at Haydock Park (1m2f; good to soft). Does need to improve slightly, but she has had just four starts, and unlikely that we've seen the best of her.

Form: 7224

Song of The Isles¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 66| D

11/4

Put disappointing Lingfield (7f; good to firm) performance behind her with a narrow second at Chepstow (1m; good to firm) last time. That was her first go at 1m, which offers plenty of encouragement and she is still fairly lightly raced.

Form: 60-7172

(4)

Trulee Scrumptious^v⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: P Charalambous| OR: 56| CD

9/2

Been a little bit quiet of late but has won this race twice in the past (last year off a 14lb higher mark). Likely to appreciate the drop back to 1m and isn't one to dismiss lightly. Watch the betting.

Form: 4-76356

(3)

Cape Cyclone²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 55| D

11/2

Broke her maiden duck at the fifth attempt on her second handicap start at Leicester (1m; good to firm). Been hit with a 6lb rise in the weights for that victory, but she is still lightly raced and should have more to offer.

Form: 0-0281

(2)

Plissken^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: Tom Clover| OR: 58

25/1

Low-key efforts in maidens was followed up by a vastly underwhelming handicap debut where she failed to beat a single rival at Lingfield (1m3f; good to firm). Drops back to 1m now, and is still unexposed but needs to show a great deal more.

Form: 5780

(9)

Margaret J^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

33/1

Still winless after 17 starts. Finished last in a seven-runner affair at Yarmouth (1m; good to firm) when last seen, and has largely been out of form throughout this year. Major revival required, and others are more readily preferred.

Form: 436067

Forecasts

Song of The Isles (11/4), Duchess Of Avon (7/2), Trulee Scrumptious (9/2), Cape Cyclone (11/2), Universal Effect (6/1), Kachumba (13/2), Fleeting Freedom (12/1), Red Armour (14/1), Plissken (25/1), The Special One (25/1), Margaret J (33/1)

A tricky looking handicap to start the night, with a couple in this race still to show how good they could really be. She had decent form to her name in a couple of maidens and after making an underwhelming handicap debut at Haydock, the lightly raced Universal Effect should be given another chance returned to 1m. Song Of The Isles is also worth a mention after she bounced back to form at Chepstow recently. Preference is for the class dropper in the form of RED ARMOUR who found the demands of a Class 2 all too much on her seasonal return and should fare better dropped back into Class 5 company. She looked a filly who could win plenty of races at this level last season.
