Mabo^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Harris| OR: 55| D

5/1

Good winner at Ffos Las (7f) two starts ago and ran well enough off 1lb lower mark to suggest he is still in form when runner-up at Bath last time out. Has another rise to contend with which is a concern.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 56

9/1

Still a maiden after five starts but looked to be getting the hang of things when second in 7f Brighton maiden on latest start. Pitched back into handicap company off 1lb less mark so is of interest.

Rock In Society^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 53| D

16/1

Has been inconsistent this season, finishing good third over C&D two starts ago before distant 11th over 6f here a week ago. Place claims if replicating best form.

Global Acclamation^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 53

13/2

Best performance of the season came when third at Yarmouth in July but well-held since, including 7L ninth in 1m Wolverhampton handicap last month. Something to prove now.

Seafaring Girl^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51| D

20/1

Winner of similar Chepstow handicap in the summer but not in the best form since and latest 10th in 7f Catterick handicap leaves a bit to be desired. Others preferred at the moment.

Maisie Moo⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 50

10/3

Hasn't really threatened to break her maiden tag recently but was denied a clear run when fourth in 1m handicap here in August. 4lb drop in the weights could help her progress however and can't be discounted.

Amberine³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: M S Saunders| OR: 45

25/1

Last win came back in July 2018 but looks regressive of sort this season. More required on latest eighth in 5f Bath handicap and takes a drastic step up in trip in this.

Form: 67-3488

Cottingham^p1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: K Frost| OR: 45

8/1

Looked to be a horse out of sorts but got major improvement when finishing second at Leicester (7f) from out of the weights eight days ago. Well in for this contest and must be considered.

Form: 8-36402

Reshaan^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45

20/1

Not pulling up trees recently and tongue-tie didn't seem to work when seventh at Southwell (6f) in late September. Best watched on current run of form.

Dalness Express^b,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 45| C

4/1

Record stands at 1-33 and not firing since switching to new yard. Eased out of contention when 12th at Southwell (7f) in September and very hard to make a case for.

Form: 898670

Sixth Of June²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Simon Earle| OR: 45

33/1

Wasn't firing at all in 2017 but returned from mammoth absence when third at Chelmsford (7f) last month. Need to be wary of the bounce factor however and is 1lb wrong at the weights.

Form: 00760/3

Iris's Spirit⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

Sent off an outsider in every start to date and not threatening to turn her form around yet. More required on basis of latest ninth of 10 in 1m Brighton handicap.

A weak-looking handicap to end proceedings and it may be worth taking a chance on COTTINGHAM, who ran a fine race when wrong at the weights when second at Leicester last time out. If that run hasn't taken any significant toll on him then he looks well treated off his current mark. Mabo sets the form standard on his recent efforts but looks to be in the grip of the handicapper at the moment while the step back up to 7f could see Rock In Society rekindle the form that saw him finish a good third over C&D two starts ago.
