Divine Consent^p,t1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 62

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1 and cheekpieces on, very good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on now and holds good claims if proving as adept on soft ground.

Form: 6063

Son Of Red²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: A King| OR: 59

7/2

Modest juvenile maiden who belied 10-month absence with excellent third of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) on return. Likely to do better still but soft ground is an unknown.

Form: 6965-3

(8)

Bad Rabbit⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 59

5/1

Still a maiden but (33/1) improved form in the mud when second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f) 9 days ago. Merits serious consideration despite being nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 45-8592

Volcano Bay¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: I Mohammed| OR: 59| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner in August who has largely run well since, runner-up in 1m handicap at Bath (firm) 14 days ago. Back up in trip but yet to prove she goes on soft.

Form: 221932

Robert Frost¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: T Kent| OR: 56

40/1

Modest juvenile maiden for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has offered little both runs for new yard, hooded when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 100 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 436-00

(10)

Poetica¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 56

12/1

Holds good claims on form shown when fourth in 10f Chelmsford City handicap but (13/2) last of 8 at Newcastle (12.4f) 17 days ago. Handily weighted if bouncing back.

Form: 93448

(14)

Enchantee¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 55

66/1

Yet to make the frame in three runs, fifth of 8 in maiden (150/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 123 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut but has plenty to find.

Form: 98-5

(13)

Vitellio Scarpia^b1⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Jarvis| OR: 54

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, only eleventh of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (11.4f) 77 days ago. Blinkers tried now but hard to enthuse over.

Form: 0600

(1)

Folie D'Amour^p1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 54

40/1

Modest maiden who raced wide when only fifth of 7 in claimer (12/1) at Lingfield (9f, good) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on now but others more persuasive.

Form: 00-6385

(5)

Valletta Sunset^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 52

66/1

Has offered little since third in 1m Leicester maiden in July, beating only one in handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now but easily opposed.

Form: 7-6380

(9)

Whitehaven¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: H Morrison| OR: 50| D

9/2

Opened his account over 10f at Lingfield in August and not disgraced when fading sixth of 13 in 12f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago. Sure to be in the mix back in trip if he handles soft going.

Form: 9-58016

(4)

Lily Beach^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: S C Williams| OR: 50

40/1

Yet to make the frame in five starts, tongue strap on when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Significantly back up in trip but others preferred.

Form: 98065

(3)

Princess Siyouni³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: M Quinn| OR: 48

8/1

Still to open her account but she arrives in good form, fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Yet to go on soft ground but she's considered.

Form: 600-434

Forecasts

Son Of Red (7/2), Whitehaven (9/2), Bad Rabbit (5/1), Volcano Bay (11/2), Divine Consent (11/2), Critique (7/1), Princess Siyouni (8/1), Poetica (12/1), Robert Frost (40/1), Lily Beach (40/1), Folie D'Amour (40/1), Vitellio Scarpia (50/1), Enchantee (66/1), Valletta Sunset (66/1)

Most of these encounter soft ground for the first time but BAD RABBIT showed his liking for the mud when an improved second at Redcar last time so is taken to open his account here under similar conditions. Both Divine Consent and Son of Red have to prove themselves on the ground but look to have better days ahead of them.
