Bold Decision²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| BF| CD

3/1

Winner over C&D in July and backed that up with a good third at Yarmouth (6f) 28 days ago, not clear run. Remains of interest at this level.

Form: 258713

Big Time Maybe^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56

16/1

Last of 13 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 17 days ago. Visor back on and has eased another 2 lb, so not one to completely dismiss.

Form: 450350

Toolatetodelegate^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 53| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 12/1) 15 days ago. Holding her form well at present.

Form: 80-2323

Wiff Waff⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 48| D

7/2

Ended a losing run that stretched back just over 2 years at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not an obvious type to follow up but is respected under a penalty all the same.

Form: 08-6721

Gherkin²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: W S Kittow| OR: 54| BF

15/2

Strong in betting but proved a disappointment in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, evens) 28 days ago.

Form: 985226

Indian Pursuit^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Leonard| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 50| D

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 12/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. More needed even from this much-reduced mark.

Form: 460-006

(7)

Fact Or Fable^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 51

18/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but is threatening to come good, second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 4/1) 18 days ago. Drop back in trip may not suit, though.

Form: 456642

Tomahawk Ridge³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: J Gallagher| OR: 48

25/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 36 days ago. Currently out of sorts.

Form: 400-090

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: D Flood| OR: 45

28/1

Form: 765439

Frow⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 45

9/2

Gambled on and shaped better than the result on first run since leaving Des Donovan when fifth of 12 in minor event at Beverley (5f, firm) 7 days ago, not ideally placed.

Form: 996-005

Forecasts

Bold Decision (3/1), Wiff Waff (7/2), Delagate The Lady (4/1), Frow (9/2), Toolatetodelegate (11/2), Gherkin (15/2), Indian Pursuit (14/1), Heartstar (14/1), Big Time Maybe (16/1), Fact Or Fable (18/1), Tomahawk Ridge (25/1), Dahik (25/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (28/1)

C&D winner BOLD DECISION was unlucky not to finish closer when third at Yarmouth 4 weeks ago, so he remains of interest, particularly at this lowly level. Delegate The Lady is likely to continue in form, with Frow another to bear in mind having been well supported in the betting on his yard debut at Beverley last week.
