Abel Handy⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

11/4

Followed an excellent fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon with success in a 15-runner event at the same course 7 days ago. Thriving now and still well treated on old form, so leading claims.

Form: 262341

Dream Today^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86| D

3/1

Plenty of solid efforts in 6f handicaps, including good second off a strong pace over C&D 38 days ago, but losing run does stretch back to Meydan in January 2019.

Form: 883042

Beyond Equal⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 86| D

17/2

Inconsistent sort who often races freely. Again did too much too soon at this course (7f) last time, so drop back in trip should help after a break.

Form: 925-250

(3)

Little Boy Blue^h³¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 86| D

20/1

Has good as ever and quite consistent last term but it's hard to imagine he'll be sharp enough to take this following a 10-month absence.

Form: 524354-

Quick Breath¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Portman| OR: 82| D

4/1

Scored at Kempton in July, then seemed undone by a rise when only midfield at Chelmsford last time, so he's vulnerable to better-treated rivals.

Form: 76-5616

(9)

Glenamoy Lad^p1,t⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 82| D

25/1

Didn't look in much form when last seen 56 days ago so hard to make a case for despite first-time cheekpieces and a sliding mark.

Form: 09-2306

(6)

Rock Boy Grey^t,v1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 80| D

10/1

Steady improver on AW over the winter and has continued the good work on turf, back on track when fourth at Newmarket 24 days ago. One to consider in a first-time visor.

Form: 324284

Delagate This Lord⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 79| D

22/1

Successful at Bath in June but down the field there next time and has never scored from a mark this high, so up against it back from 56 days off.

Form: 315-017

Pettochside¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J J Bridger| OR: 73| BF| CD

7/1

Six-time course winner (including in the mud) who scored at Windsor in July and was just touched off back here 11 days ago. Another bold showing is expected.

Form: 576132

Forecasts

Abel Handy (11/4), Dream Today (3/1), Quick Breath (4/1), Pettochside (7/1), Beyond Equal (17/2), Rock Boy Grey (10/1), Little Boy Blue (20/1), Delagate This Lord (22/1), Glenamoy Lad (25/1)

ABEL HANDY was only kept up to his work to make all at Ripon 7 days ago and this thriving 5-y-o is fancied to follow up under a penalty under another positive ride. Course-specialist Pettochside could prove the main danger having been beaten in a photo over here recently, while Dream Today's chance can't be ignored.
