Alfie's Angel²⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 43| D

50/1

Poor gelding. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.7f, heavy), pulling hard and beaten quickly back straight. Hadn't looked a winner on Flat previously and other stronger on return.

Brother Bentley^p²⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 49| CD

20/1

Modest C&D winner who was never involved when last seen on AW back in December. Subsequent absence a concern but fact he's gone well here in the past is a plus.

Form: 060659-

(7)

Champagne Bob^v²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 48| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 4/1, fifth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago, effort flattening out. Still, no forlorn hope in this field.

Form: 909-445

Crimson Princess¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 42

28/1

Modest mare. 20/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Remains a maiden and bounce back called for.

Form: 06-7450

(6)

Jaganory^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 44| C| D

10/1

Modest gelding. Course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm, 17/2) 8 days ago. Return to this less demanding affair rates a plus.

Form: 4-58336

(9)

Sovereign State³¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 50| C

11/1

Modest course winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) last October, making little impression. Sole success to date came on the back of a break so not ruled out in a trappy affair.

Form: 7/61978-

(11)

Tawaafoq^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 50| D

4/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 3/1) 23 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 843244

(12)

We've Got The Love^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Bowen| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 38

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 32 days ago. Needs to step up to figure.

Form: 0-7057

(4)

Num Num¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 35

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Has offered very little to date but this rates a more suitable assignment than she has faced to date.

Form: 900

(5)

Some Nightmare^p1⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 46| BF

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 45 days ago, finishing well. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 090-43

Forecasts

Champagne Bob (9/4), Some Nightmare (9/4), Tawaafoq (4/1), Velvet Vista (6/1), Jaganory (10/1), Sovereign State (11/1), We've Got The Love (16/1), Illustrious Spirit (16/1), Brother Bentley (20/1), Crimson Princess (28/1), Alfie's Angel (50/1), Num Num (125/1)

SOME NIGHTMARE has made a good start at a low level for his new yard, going like the best horse at the weights when third at Doncaster in June, his positional switch early in the race costing him several lengths. He's worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run, with Tawaafoq and Sovereign State next best, ahead of Champagne Bob.
