The Defiant^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 61| D

13/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Hooded first time, took well to fibresand when close second over C&D 19 days ago. Very much a player if in similar form.

Form: 732002

(9)

A Go Go^b⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: P D Evans| OR: 60| D

9/1

In good form at Wolverhampton this autumn, winning twice over 5f. Creditable second of 11 in 6f handicap there 4 days ago. Acts on fibresand. Merits respect.

Form: 914122

(7)

Dandizette¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| D

66/1

First run since leaving Adrian Nicholls when twelfth of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Newcastle (5f) 18 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Needs to recapture her best form.

Form: 6-89000

(6)

Ustath²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| CD

15/8

Taken well to fibresand with 2 wins here under Tyler Heard this month, latterly shade comfortably over 6f on Sunday. 5 lb penalty unlikely to prevent another bold bid if coping with quick turnaround.

Form: 549711

(4)

Qaaraat²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| D

5/1

Form: 122475

(5)

Dark Side Prince^p,h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 51

10/3

No show for Charlie Wallis but much better when placed twice over C&D in recent weeks, moving powerfully for a long way when second in handicap latterly. Can win off this mark.

Form: 889-032

(8)

Catapult¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: C Allen| OR: 49| CD

12/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Shaun Keightley when below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) on reappearance 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs to have come on a lot.

Form: 57145-7

Blackcurrent^p¹³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 46

16/1

Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 18/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, good to firm). Off 134 days. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 320679

(10)

Dylan's Lad^b³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J Quinn| T: S R Bowring| OR: 45

200/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 33 days ago. Plenty of improvement required.

Form: 08009

(2)

Awake In Asia^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: C Wallis| OR: 45

33/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Blinkered first time, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 14 days ago.

Form: 45-6575

Forecasts

Ustath (15/8), Dark Side Prince (10/3), Qaaraat (5/1), The Defiant (13/2), A Go Go (9/1), Catapult (12/1), Blackcurrent (16/1), Awake In Asia (33/1), Dandizette (66/1), Dylan's Lad (200/1)

The unexposed DARK SIDE PRINCE has made a positive start to life with Jessica Macey and is selected to go one better than over C&D last time. The Defiant will be a big threat if reproducing the level of his latest C&D second, while the hat-trick seeking Ustath would also merit plenty of respect if turned out again quickly after his win on Sunday.
