Magic Mirror^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 69| C

25/1

Seven-time course winner but way below best form recently, including when last of 11 here earlier this month. Below last winning mark now but more needed at this trip.

Form: 639680

Dangerous Ends^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 68| C

7/1

Fair form at both this track and level and took a step in the right direction when close third in C&D handicap last month. On a workable mark now and no shock if he goes close.

Form: 447393

He's Our Star²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR: 67

25/1

Failed to win on the AW as of yet and form hasn't been up to this level so far, including when midfield in 1m2 Wolverhampton handicap last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0-15087

Peckinpah²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: A King| OR: 70

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton but failed to build on that when eighth at Goodwood in May. Not seen since. Best watched at present.

Form: 649-38

Slade King⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70

7/2

Has yet to get his head in front but is beginning to knock at the door, including staying on third in 1m2f Sandown handicap in September. On a likeable mark and would be dangerous to discount.

Form: 4-85323

Guroor³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 69

2/1

Had proven to be a frustrating sort but turned that around with easy success in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap last month. Penalised for that but no reason why he cannot progress once again.

Margie's Choice^b,h,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: M Madgwick| OR: 65| C

25/1

Now thirteen runs since his last win in 2018 and was only ninth in C&D handicap just over two weeks ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 080049

(12)

Pempie^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

16/1

Has some ability but below form recently, including when tenth in 1m handicap here earlier this month. Looks like wind surgery hasn't improved her and big ask on her hands.

Rail Dancer^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 64| CD

25/1

Four-time course winner but not thriving of current marks recently , including when sixth in 1m4f handicap here last month. Makes limited appeal on paper.

Form: 116076

Topology¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 64| BF| CD

10/1

Last win came over C&D in September and generally running to his mark since then, including excellent C&D seconds here the last twice. Entitled to be thereabouts once again.

Form: 351822

(7)

Bug Boy^p⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George| OR: 68

20/1

Latest win came at Chepstow in September. Wasn't at his best when seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) at the start of October and will need to bounce back from that.

Form: 217137

(8)

Cheeky Rascal^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 64

16/1

Remains a maiden but offering some hope this season, finishing third at Bath three starts ago before filling that same spot over C&D at the start of the month. Good claims from a light weight.

Forecasts

Guroor (2/1), Slade King (7/2), Peckinpah (13/2), Dangerous Ends (7/1), Topology (10/1), Gawdawpalin (14/1), Cheeky Rascal (16/1), Pempie (16/1), Bug Boy (20/1), Eesha My Flower (20/1), Margie's Choice (25/1), Magic Mirror (25/1), He's Our Star (25/1), Rail Dancer (25/1)

A tightly-contested handicap to end proceedings with little between top and bottom weight, preference is for the Marco Botti-trained GUROOR, who bolted up recently at Wolverhampton and despite a hefty hike in the handicap could go well as long as he has got his act together. Topology looks likely to be the main danger given his recent seconds at this track and still looks weighted to go well, while the likes of Slade King and Cheeky Rascal have been hitting the crossbar lately but have slipped to dangerous marks.
