Javelin⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: W R Muir| OR: 70| CD

11/4

Yet to win on turf but 3-11 on artificial surfaces, including C&D success in April from 5lb lower mark. Has been out form since Chelmsford success later that month, but chance if putting best foot forward back on the AW.

Form: 413749

Zoraya²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 70| D

4/1

Impressive 7L winner of a 7f seller at Leicester (good-to-soft) in August; she may have had some excuses (hampered) when disappointing last of seven (beaten 4¼L) next time over same trip on turf course here. On a fair mark relative to best form.

Form: 473217

Bint Dandy^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: C Wallis| OR: 69| CD

7/1

Eight-years-old now, she last tasted success at Yarmouth (1m, good) in August 2018, rated 80 at the time. Yet to score for this trainer but better signs recently and on a workable mark.

Rapture¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 70

8/1

Some promise as a novice, including over a mile at Chelmsford; but disappointed when supported for last month's handicap bow at Ffos Las (1m, good) and has something to prove for now as a result. Still very early days and in good hands.

Form: 5358

(4)

Devils Roc¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 70

20/1

Easy winner over 5½f at Bath last month (not as good either run since), has shown form on AW here before and booking of Jason Watson a positive. One to pay close attention.

Form: 339150

Seprani^h⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 67| C

9/2

Never yet won beyond 6f but has been placed over this trip on four occasions, including neck-second last time out at Chelmsford five days ago. Races from unchanged mark and of interest once more.

Form: 422262

Black Medick²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 69| CD

14/1

Shock 33-1 winner of 1m Windsor handicap (good to firm) in July, that run an isolated beacon of positivity in an otherwise frustrating time since joining this trainer. C&D winner in January for Richard Hannon from 5lb higher mark.

Form: 515944

(12)

Plumette^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 68| D

8/1

Made winner debut over 7f at Chepstow (good) in May, though hasn't added to tally in seven runs since. Showed promise as a novice on the AW, on a handy weight with 5lb claimer up.

Form: 485526

(7)

Burning Topic¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Keniry| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 68

11/1

Just the four starts in novice/maiden company and has shown promise, including on Chelmsford's Polytrack. Possible improver now sent handicapping first time.

Form: 3-264

(9)

Shoyd¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 52| D

33/1

Won a 7f Brighton handicap in good style from this rating in August 2018, though hasn't come close to matching that form in four runs since; including 18½L defeat over this C&D on seasonal return in August. Poor again since, best watched now.

Forecasts

Javelin (11/4), Zoraya (4/1), Seprani (9/2), Bint Dandy (7/1), Rapture (8/1), Plumette (8/1), Flaunt It (10/1), Burning Topic (11/1), Black Medick (14/1), Here's Two (14/1), Devils Roc (20/1), Shoyd (33/1)

Tricky fare, but it might be worth siding with JAVELIN to get back to form now returned to the AW (3-11 in this sphere). Her recent turf form is forgiven, as she just doesn't seem as effective on grass, and she's now back on the mark from which she won a Class 4 at Chelmsford over this trip in the spring. She's a C&D winner and has gone well fresh in the past. Seprani was just denied over this trip five days ago and goes from an unchanged mark, while any of Devils Roc, Black Medick and possible improver Burning Topic could be in the shake-up.
