Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 9/2) 10 days ago, well positioned. Good chance of following up under a penalty.

Raadea¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 5 in minor event (25/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago. Step forward needed on this handicap debut.

Form: 8-52

(7)

Zulu Zander²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: P D Evans| OR: 68| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 18/5, bit below form third of 7 in handicap at this course (5.7f, firm) 27 days ago. 2 lb lower now and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 722443

Veleta²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 66| D

3/1

11/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 22 days ago. Down another 1 lb and she needs considering.

Form: 631-373

Port Winston^h⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 66| D

150/1

125/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 063-088

(13)

Knight's Gate^b1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: B R Millman| OR: 65| CD

10/1

C&D winner in July. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 31 days ago, slowly away. Hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a return to form.

Form: 770177

(10)

Spreadsheet^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 62

20/1

Last of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 23 days ago, weakening quickly. Readily passed over.

Form: 34-3809

(9)

We're Reunited^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 59

7/1

Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft, 15/2) 16 days ago. Now 0-13 but could be a factor off this career-low mark if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.

Form: 7-07556

(5)

Blue Venture²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

10/1

15/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Should give another good account but she's vulnerable from a win perspective.

Form: 32-6224

(6)

Twelve Diamonds⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Gallagher| OR: 54

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Down in trip now and improvement is certainly needed.

Form: 66-79

(3)

Lili Wen Fach¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 53| D

66/1

66/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 6 months and she's probably best watched.

Form: 638-388

(12)

La Chica Lobo^h²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 47

50/1

66/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 7 months and she's 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Form: 658-657

Forecasts

Veleta (3/1), Zulu Zander (10/3), Capla Spirit (5/1), We're Reunited (7/1), Raadea (15/2), Blue Venture (10/1), Knight's Gate (10/1), Secret Identity (14/1), Spreadsheet (20/1), Twelve Diamonds (33/1), La Chica Lobo (50/1), Lili Wen Fach (66/1), Port Winston (150/1)

CAPLA SPIRIT duly bounced back when scoring under Tyler Heard at Wolverhampton recently and looks capable of defying a penalty back on turf. Veleta seemingly has her quirks but there's ability there, too, and she will be a threat if building on her latest effort at Haydock. Zulu Zander and We're Reunited are others with claims.
