Brentford Hope¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hughes| OR: 91| BF

9/4

Yet to kick on since last autumn's debut success but has shown useful form over 1¼m/1½m this year. Travels strongly so it's possible this much shorter trip will suit him. Still unexposed. Considered.

Form: 1-533

(2)

Joyful Mission⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 87| D

40/1

Clear-cut winner of 1m Pontefract maiden last summer but has proved rather disappointing in his 3 handicaps since, leaving Sir Michael Stoute since last seen in July.

Form: 4314-45

(6)

Sagauteur²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

11/1

Useful operator in France who may have needed the run when eighth in C&D handicap for new stable 3 weeks ago. Entitled to be sharper now and he's the mount of Tudhope from yard's 3 runners.

Form: 1557-38

(5)

Just Hiss^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

18/1

Cashed in on reduced mark at Ripon (1m) in August. Fair fourth efforts on his next 2 starts but his latest run here wasn't one of his best.

Form: 061488

(3)

Give It Some Teddy^t⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 84| D

11/1

Back-to-back winner at Redcar last autumn for Tim Easterby. Last of 11 on return for new yard but much better signs with a tongue tie added when fourth of 15 at Newbury last time. One to consider.

Form: 3411-04

(1)

Markazi^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

15/2

Arrives on the back of placed efforts on his last 2 starts, including on heavy ground at Redcar latterly. Every chance he'll be in the shake-up again.

Form: 590832

(9)

Mascat²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R M Beckett| OR: 86| D

3/1

1m maiden winner last year. Drawn blank since but arrives on the back of a couple of creditable thirds over 1¼m and he merits respect now dropping back to 1m for the first time since that win.

Form: 1-74733

(10)

Fred²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| C

10/1

Dual winner as a juvenile. Showed he retains his ability when second at Musselburgh (1m) last month and not seen to best effect at Beverley since.

Form: 116-028

(8)

So Beloved¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| C| D

9/1

Veteran who is on a very long losing run but there have been plenty of respectable efforts this term. Hard to fancy for the win, though.

Form: 476474

(7)

Mikmak^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| CD

14/1

Essentially hasn't fired this year but he's starting to look dangerously well treated and is a former C&D winner on heavy. Wouldn't be a shock to see him go well.

Form: 903005

Forecasts

Brentford Hope (9/4), Mascat (3/1), Markazi (15/2), So Beloved (9/1), Fred (10/1), Sagauteur (11/1), Give It Some Teddy (11/1), Mikmak (14/1), Just Hiss (18/1), Joyful Mission (40/1)

It may pay to give BRENTFORD HOPE another chance to confirm the promise of his easy debut win a year ago. His last 2 outings have been at 1½m but he certainly travels well enough in his races to suggest this shorter trip might suit and most of today's opposition is much more exposed than him. Fellow 3-y-o Mascat rates a threat, while there were also better signs from Give It Some Teddy last time.
