(2)

Melburnian³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 76

22/1

Much improved when off the mark in 8-runner novice event at Chelmsford City (10f) 38 days ago, keeping on well. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Form: 765-001

(8)

The Throstles²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: K Frost| OR: 76| CD

8/1

Locked N' Loaded^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Barry McHugh| T: T J FitzGerald| OR: 80| BF| CD

4/1

Good second over C&D in August. Below form at Pontefract (8f, good) 12 days ago, barely adequate test. Has to be taken seriously back at this venue.

Form: 1-20426

(10)

Lover's Moon^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 79| BF

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 8 in maiden at Kempton (8f, evens) 14 days ago. Wears first-time visor for handicap debut and ought to remain competitive.

Form: 6732

(6)

Maiden Castle⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 74

12/1

Has quickly gone the wrong way this year and can only be watched for now.

Form: 4/25-270

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 74| C

(9)

Bavardages²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78| CD

4/1

Produced a career best when winning over C&D in August. Easy to back and not in same form at Chelmsford but was left poorly placed and his mark still looks fair.

Form: U05316

Forecasts

Locked N' Loaded (4/1), Bavardages (4/1), Lover's Moon (11/2), High Commissioner (8/1), The Throstles (8/1), Maiden Castle (12/1), Toro Dorado (12/1), Blame Culture (14/1), Secratario (14/1), Louis Treize (22/1), Melburnian (22/1), Candelisa (33/1), Repaupo (150/1)

LOCKED 'N' LOADED boasts a positive profile and had excuses at Pontefract last time, so he's well worth another chance now returning to the scene of his best efforts. Bavardages was left poorly placed at Chelmsford and still looks on a fair mark, while handicap-debutante Lover's Moon ought to remain competitive.
