33/1

C&D winner. 125/1, last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but not threatening to capitalise.

25/1

Below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 40/1) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could build on that.

Esspeegee^v⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Parr| OR: 64| BF| D

9/1

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Bath (13f, good, 10/3) 66 days ago, doing too much too soon. Visor back on. Should remain competitive.

Form: 40-9815

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: George Baker| OR: 60| D

11/2

1 win from 2 runs this year. 8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 9-runner handicap on turf here (11.6f, good) 19 days ago. Still well treated if he can back that up.

Form: 3008-71

Hammy End^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 59| BF

9/2

Unreliable sort. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 3/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good) 31 days ago. One to consider.

12/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in August. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Windsor (10f, good) 7 days ago. Should be suited by return to this trip.

5/1

A'shamardi^v1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 59

3/1

Promising individual. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip with visor on for handicap debut, so should improve.

Form: 964

16/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 18/1) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

A'shamardi (3/1), Hammy End (9/2), Bealach (5/1), Azor Ahai (11/2), Esspeegee (9/1), Janus (11/1), Famous Dynasty (12/1), Cottonopolis (16/1), Becky Sharp (16/1), Gravity Wave (25/1), Ivaquestion (33/1), French Mix (33/1), Smiley Bagel (66/1), Into Debt (150/1)

A'SHAMARDI is bred to be much better than a mark of 59 and has shaped with more promise than the bare results suggest to date, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning handicap debut up against more exposed sorts. Azhor Ahai, who scored here (turf) on just his second outing for George Baker, looks a danger if he can back that up.
