Kattani^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| BF

13/2

Bit below form third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 3/1) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip and may again find one or two too good.

Form: 69-9223

(5)

Durrell¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 83| D

13/8

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 10/3) 14 days ago, keeping on well. 4 lb rise looks very fair indeed and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 5-65521

Berrahri²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR: 81| C| D

50/1

Course winner. Latest win at Newmarket in August. 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, good) 23 days ago. Opposable on balance.

Form: 065410

Mandarin^p1¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 80| D

16/1

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at York (10.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and will be a danger to all off this reduced mark if the headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 879050

Matewan^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79| D

8/1

15/2, good second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 18 days ago. Should again have a part to play in the finish off this untouched mark.

Form: 252862

Zuba⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 79| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 15/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 49 days ago. That certainly wasn't one of his better efforts but solid each-way chance if bouncing back.

Form: 533270

(1)

Arabian King^h1,t²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Ferguson| OR: 78| D

12/1

Three wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap (1/4) at Southwell (11.1f) in February. Resumes on 8 lb higher mark but he may not be done improving yet. Hood applied.

Form: 65-2111

(10)

Dubai Welcome^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 83| BF

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 5/2) 39 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to get back on track.

Form: 220

(8)

Alpin King^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| OR: 77

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in maiden at Chepstow (12f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Makes polytrack/handicap debut and a step forward is required.

Form: 4436

(6)

Island Storm^p1¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: H Main| OR: 74

50/1

Last of 6 in handicap (66/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm). Off 120 days and now tried in cheekpieces. Has work to do.

Form: 31816-6

Forecasts

Durrell (13/8), Dubai Welcome (3/1), Kattani (13/2), Matewan (8/1), Zuba (11/1), Arabian King (12/1), Mandarin (16/1), Alpin King (20/1), Berrahri (50/1), Island Storm (50/1)

Preference is for DURRELL, who looked better than ever when striking at Southwell a fortnight ago and the handicapper hasn't gone overboard in handing James Fanshawe's charge a 4 lb rise. Arabian King won 3 on the bounce on fibresand last winter and this low-mileage 4-y-o will be a big danger if proving equally effective back on this surface following an 8-month break. Matewan is best of the rest.
