The Jean Genie⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: W Stone| OR: 72| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f) 44 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has fallen to a handy mark and not one to write off.

Form: 0-76457

Nawar^t²⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Bosley| OR: 72| C

25/1

Course winner. 16/1, sixth of 8 in handicap over C&D in January, not ideally placed and not given a hard time. Remains unexposed over this trip and worth noting in the betting on return.

Form: 01586-6

(2)

Agent Of Fortune^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: R L Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 72| C

12/1

Course winner. 4 wins from 15 runs this year. 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 14 days ago, not clear run. Back up in trip. Has good chance on pick of form.

Form: 789809

Secret Art^p²²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 69| D

50/1

Not seen to best effect when ninth of 16 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 22 days ago, finishing with running left. Worth noting in the betting with yard also saddling Agent Of Fortune.

Form: 777009

Rotherwick^p⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 65| D

20/1

Twenty eight runs since last win in 2018. Ninth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Others make greater appeal on balance despite sliding mark.

Form: 520359

Voice Of Calm¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 65| CD

11/1

Fame N Fortune^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: George Baker| OR: 64| CD

5/4

First run since leaving Joseph Tuite when visored for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, forging clear. Still quite low mileage and respected.

Form: 92129-1

Couldn't Could She¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A West| OR: 64| D

50/1

Latest win at Windsor in September. 20/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 16 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when ninth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 22 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form.

Form: 6459

Gonna Dancealot^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 66

11/1

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Back up in trip but may need further respite from the assessor to shed maiden tag here.

Form: 227434

Narjes^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| BF| CD

5/1

Forecasts

Fame N Fortune (5/4), Narjes (5/1), The Jean Genie (10/1), Gonna Dancealot (11/1), Voice Of Calm (11/1), Agent Of Fortune (12/1), Marion's Boy (16/1), Rotherwick (20/1), Zefferino (25/1), Nawar (25/1), Utopian Lad (28/1), Secret Art (50/1), Couldn't Could She (50/1), Tawtheef (125/1)

FAME N FORTUNE attracted support and was impressive in making a winning return from 13 months off over C&D 2 weeks ago, forging clear 1f out. 6 lb higher now, he's fancied to go well again, this time partnered by William Buick. Nawar is interesting on return under Tom Marquand, whilst Agent of Fortune and The Jean Genie are others worth a second look.
