Maid In Manhattan^h⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 74| CD

11/8

Has been in great form this autumn and made it three wins from her last four starts with victory in heavy ground at Haydock last time. Penalty to carry for that but proven under the conditions and must go close once more.

Form: 221151

Double Reflection²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 70

25/1

Has fallen to a dangerous looking mark but that's down to a series of pretty moderate efforts this year, and she showed no signs of turning things around at Ayr last time. Needs to show more before supporting her.

Form: 847479

All My Love¹⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 69

16/1

Useful dual-purpose mare that last won over hurdles at Lingfield back in February (soft ground), not seen out since April and likely to need this after an absence, but will try her best.

Form: 05355-5

Well Funded¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: J D Bethell| OR: 75| D

11/8

Improving 3yo filly that has won back-to-back handicaps on her last two starts, showing she stays well and acts on soft ground in the process. Gets the allowances here and must have a solid chance of landing the hat-trick.

Form: 122511

Methag¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 65

14/1

Has some form over C&D with some cut, but that came last year and her earlier efforts have left plenty to be desired. Well handicapped if she can bounce back, but that's a big if, and she has an absence to overcome too.

Form: 12345-0

(3)

Donnachies Girl¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 62| D

11/1

Acted well on heavy ground when successful at Hamilton two starts back, and has won over this trip too, so has some plus points, but they have come in a lower grade and she now needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time out.

Forecasts

Maid In Manhattan (11/8), Well Funded (11/8), Miss Latin (5/1), Donnachies Girl (11/1), Methag (14/1), All My Love (16/1), Double Reflection (25/1)

Donnachies Girl is likely to get an easy lead on the front here, but that may not be enough against some fast improving sorts. MAID IN MANHATTAN goes from strength to strength and as she is proven under the conditions, is taken to come out on top again. Well Funded has a similar profile and gets a bit of weight from the selection, and looks the danger. Methag is risky but not discounted, and Miss Latin will have her chance if she handles the ground.
