Nefarious³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: H Candy| OR: 85| D

12/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 8-runner handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 31 days ago, keeping on gamely. 9lb higher mark to contend with back on AW but he's consistent on artificial surfaces.

Form: 324-601

Saluti²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| D

22/1

Latest win at Beverley in August. 40/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago, never involved from a high draw. No surprise to see him back to form here.

Form: 315100

Buhturi¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| OR: 84| D

Street Parade¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 83

66/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, first run since leaving Stuart Williams when ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. One to keep an eye on.

Wiley Post^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: A W Carroll| OR: 83| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 27 days ago. That ought to have blown the cobwebs away and he's lightly raced on AW.

Form: 352-124

(3)

Little Boy Blue¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 82| D

9/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Yet to fully fire this term but mark is slowly easing and return to 6f a likely plus.

Form: 354-444

(11)

Phuket Power^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 81| CD

7/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 26 days ago, making all and just holding on. Record on artificial surfaces' is a solid one and possibilities from 2 lb higher.

Form: 226381

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J L Spearing| OR: 80| C| D

Strong Power^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Louis Steward| T: George Scott| OR: 81| CD

13/2

7/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, value for extra having hand his run halted 2f out. 6 lb higher mark to contend with but he's respected nevertheless.

Form: 48-0021

(5)

Saaheq⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 80

14/1

Last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (6f, soft) 8 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Record has been ditinctly mixed this year and others make greater appeal.

Form: 024030

Triggered⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 79| D

12/1

15/2, respectable tenth of 19 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 46 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 0-44800

Juan Les Pins¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| OR: 80| BF| CD

15/8

C&D winner in September. 5/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 13 days ago, produced to lead last ½f and only collared late on. A well-run 6f may suit even better on that evidence.

Form: 2-48152

Forecasts

Juan Les Pins (15/8), Buhturi (5/1), Strong Power (13/2), Phuket Power (7/1), Little Boy Blue (9/1), Triggered (12/1), Nefarious (12/1), Saaheq (14/1), Wiley Post (20/1), Saluti (22/1), Street Parade (66/1), A Sure Welcome (100/1)

JUAN LES PINS boasts a positive profile at this venue, running his best race to date despite finding one too good over 7f 2 weeks ago. His sole career success to date came in a well-run race over C&D, and with that scenario on the cards here, all looks set fair for another big run from a handy draw. Fellow C&D winner Strong Power, Buhturi and Phuket Power head up the dangers.
