Twin Appeal²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 77| CD

11/1

Won this 12 months ago and knocking on the door of late, third of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 858223

(3)

Redemptive⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: G Boughey| OR: 75| D

9/1

Impressed for new yard with back-to-back 7f wins at Yarmouth and Lingfield but only seventh back at 6f in handicap at Kempton 9 days ago. Can race off 5 lb lower now so interesting returned to 7f.

Form: 234117

(6)

Plunger⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: J Butler| OR: 73| D

10/3

Arrives in good form, fourth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) 57 days ago. Much respected off unchanged mark.

Form: 498-624

(10)

La Voix Magique¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 71| BF

13/2

Winless since the restart but largely in good form, sixth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft, 11/4) 13 days ago. Can make her presence felt.

Form: 0-03526

Rum Runner²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: G A Harker| OR: 70| D

18/1

Yet to make the frame since resumption, and only fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 877080

(12)

Zylan¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| D

22/1

In excellent form at Southwell through the winter but ran poorly there after 6 months off 14 days ago. Bit to prove now.

Form: 342330

(14)

Sommer Katze¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 68

20/1

Dual winner in 2019 but below form since the restart, eighth of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Redcar (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Has it to prove now.

Form: 211-08

(1)

Upstaging^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

11/1

Twenty eight runs since last win in 2017, but recorded respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 550026

(13)

My Boy Lewis¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66| D

22/1

Unreliable sort but ran one of his much better races when scoring in 7f handicap at Redcar on heavy 16 days ago. Up 4 lb and far from certain to back it up.

Form: 522001

(9)

Kingson¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

40/1

Has failed to beat a rival on his last three runs, last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 16 days ago. Down in trip but very hard to make a case for.

Form: 318-000

(8)

Forever A Lady⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 63| CD

40/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 8 days ago, badly hampered. Not dismissed.

Form: 8321-78

(5)

Dawn Breaking^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 63| CD

17/2

Latest win at Beverley in July but not at best when eighth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on so C&D winner is considered.

Form: 6-11568

(7)

Bibbidibobbidiboo^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 62| BF| D

10/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2018 but (cheekpieces on) best run of season when second of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, heavy) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material.

Form: 0-52822

(11)

Moretti¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 58| CD

9/2

C&D winner in July who has continued in good form, fourth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 821544

Forecasts

Plunger (10/3), Moretti (9/2), La Voix Magique (13/2), Dawn Breaking (17/2), Redemptive (9/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (10/1), Upstaging (11/1), Twin Appeal (11/1), Rum Runner (18/1), Sommer Katze (20/1), Zylan (22/1), My Boy Lewis (22/1), Forever A Lady (40/1), Kingson (40/1)

Lots with chances here but it could pay to side with REDEMPTIVE who had looked a filly seriously on the up when scoring twice over 7f and is worth forgiving her latest run back in trip at Kempton off a 5 lb higher mark. Bibbidibobbidiboo has slipped to a good mark so is feared most, while last year's winner Twin Appeal is worth a second look too.
