Pledge Of Honour³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: L P Keniry| T: D K Ivory| OR: 80| D

9/2

13/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 31 days ago, bit in hand. 5 lb rise by no means draconian and should give another good account if handling conditions.

Form: 33-23U1

Water's Edge^p⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 75| CD

4/1

10/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 7 days ago by head from Twpsyn. Carries penalty and more on his plate this time.

Coolongolook^t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M F Harris| OR: 79| D

125/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, good, 14/1) 46 days ago. Probably best watched back in this sphere on debut for new yard.

Form: 1051/0-9

(6)

Tenfold⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 80| BF

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 4 in maiden (11/10) at Bath (10.2f, good). Off 97 days and improvement needed back in a handicap.

Form: 5-523

(7)

Taameen²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 76

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Charles Hills when second of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 6/1) 27 days ago, well positioned. May well improve now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 32

(2)

Molinari¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 72| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Winner here in July. Last of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back and unproven on ground this slow.

Form: 125258

(1)

Fannie By Gaslight^p1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 68| D

12/1

3/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 6 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and she's more than capable of a bold show off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Form: 473-078

(3)

Sky Power¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 12 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 10/3) 14 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he's open to improvement.

Form: 3-3

(9)

Twpsyn^b,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 68| D

16/5

Good head second of 15 to Water's Edge in handicap at this C&D (soft, 11/1) 7 days ago. Can make presence felt, perhaps without being quite good enough.

Form: 523472

Forecasts

Twpsyn (16/5), Water's Edge (4/1), Sky Power (4/1), Pledge Of Honour (9/2), Taameen (10/1), Molinari (12/1), Fannie By Gaslight (12/1), Tenfold (12/1), Coolongolook (125/1)

Having shaped with promise on debut for Charles Hills in July, TAAMEEN chased home a Gosden-trained hotpot on debut for new yard at Lingfield and should have more to offer now handicapping off what looks a fair opening mark. He gets the nod ahead of another lightly-raced handicap debutant, Sky Power, and top-weight Pledge of Honour, who looked better than ever when scoring at Newbury last month.
