Pickett's Charge^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: B Ellison| OR: 67| D

4/1

Back on a winning mark and hinted that he's running into form with a solid effort over C&D last time out. Notable that he hasn't won on turf since the grass course was still in place at Newcastle in 2015 though.

Form: 44-0074

(8)

Kentuckyconnection²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 67| D

8/1

Capable over this intermediate trip and reasonably well handicapped on the pick of his turf form; needs a strong pace and goes well for today's 7lb claimer; but often leaves himself with a lot to do by starting slowly.

Form: 471756

(7)

Muatadel²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 66| CD

25/1

Swapped hands for £6,500 after he won a seller for Roger Fell here earlier in the month and respected from 7lb below his highest previous winning mark; worth monitoring in the betting at least.

Form: 216341

(3)

Bibbidibobbidiboo²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 63| D

7/1

Run well in her last two starts but didn't figure when tried at this course prior to those efforts. The filly is close to a winning mark but has been expensive to follow this season and comes with risk attached. Yard is quiet just now.

Form: 5-76032

(9)

Red Seeker^t⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Danny Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| CD

9/2

Posted a gutsy win over C&D last week and not ruled out after that return to form. However, the gelding faces stiffer company here and the 5lb penalty does him no favours.

Form: 9-26291

(11)

Christmas Night^p1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55| CD

16/1

Wears cheekpieces for the first time after several modest displays since his return in March; others are more consistent and hold stronger profiles. He's well handicapped but is just 1-16 on turf (a C&D win) and never seems to run two races alike.

Form: 763566

(14)

Barbarosa¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Herrington| OR: 62

12/1

Still a maiden and only made the frame once from eight previous starts. Latest outing was better than market expectations but hardly a strong hint that he can fully exploit his current lenient mark.

Form: 5-89584

(2)

Wensley^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 53

12/1

Fifth behind Red Seeker here last week and hard to see where the immediate improvement will come from if he's going to reverse the form. Another with a stern test in front of him.

Form: 770065

(6)

Make On Madam²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 52| CD

16/1

Likes this course and the distance is not an issue for the mare. Latest start was a step backwards though and even a 3lb lower mark isn't enough to tempt a recommendation.

Form: 908-058

(5)

Chaplin Bay²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52| D

15/2

Much higher rated on the AW and risky to assume he's able to repeat the effort of his close up fifth on the AW from last time our; this season's turf form is poor.

Form: 380875

(15)

Queen Of Kalahari^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 49

22/1

Looks the slightly better option from the stable's two intended runners on recent form but this trip will extend the filly into unknown territory on turf; the betting can guide but others more convincing. Also has a poor draw to cope with.

Form: 822214

(12)

Destination Aim²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 8-9| J: S A Gray| T: F Watson| OR: 46| D

66/1

Veteran who hasn't won since 2017; set to race from 2lb out of the weights and not hard to overlook on recent form; would be a surprise winner on these terms.

Form: 8290-70

(4)

Prince Consort^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 46

80/1

Finished third behind Mutadel (at odds of 200/1) in a C&D seller at the start of this month and hard to recommend on the bare evidence of that run.

Form: 830903

(10)

Puchita^p⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 45

33/1

0-21 so far and never yet posed a serious threat when tried on turf; little to recommend her as one to follow despite seemingly improved form figures on the AW when last seen (been off since April.)

Form: 903553

(13)

Dreamseller²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| BF

15/2

Ran well when fourth of 14 over C&D earlier this month (Make On Madam and Destination Aim held on that outing); and also ran with credit when second at Ayr latest. Dangerous on these terms now he's hit form in what is a poor race.

Form: 568-642

Forecasts

Pickett's Charge (4/1), Red Seeker (9/2), Bibbidibobbidiboo (7/1), Dreamseller (15/2), Chaplin Bay (15/2), Kentuckyconnection (8/1), Barbarosa (12/1), Wensley (12/1), Carlovian (12/1), Make On Madam (16/1), Christmas Night (16/1), Queen Of Kalahari (22/1), Muatadel (25/1), Puchita (33/1), Destination Aim (66/1), Prince Consort (80/1)

DREAMSELLER has a good bit going for him as he gets weight as a three-year-old against older horses and, as his stable has hit form with a vengeance in the last fortnight, he looks worth a shot in this modest company. Bibbidibobbidiboo has run well the last twice but comes with the caveat that she was never a factor the last time she raced here. Muatadel debuts for a new yard after winning a seller last time and is also respected at this level. Kentuckyconnection can be slowly away but there's no 'speed-balls' in opposition today and is another to bear in mind.
