Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 60

13/2

Excuses when sixth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 21 days ago. Visor on 1st time and has become well treated now.

Pallas Dancer^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 60| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 4/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 24 days ago, driven out. Going the right way, so makes most appeal in his search for the hat-trick.

Form: 54671-1

(7)

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: I Furtado| OR: 60

(9)

Hot Team²¹

9/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. 17/2, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 73756-9

French Minstrel²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Miss Abbie Pierce⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 59

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 70-6

(6)

Pilot Wings²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

11/2

Quirky sort. C&D winner. 8/1, won 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago, pushed out. Unlikely type for the follow up.

Form: 38485-1

My Brother Mike¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 58| CD

Quoteline Direct^h⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 56

15/2

Twenty five runs since last win in 2018. 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drop in trip should suit and he's on a good mark.

Form: 75227-3

(5)

Pallas Dancer (5/1), Pilot Wings (11/2), Corrida De Toros (6/1), Jack D'Or (13/2), Broken Rifle (15/2), Quoteline Direct (15/2), Star Ascending (9/1), Hot Team (9/1), My Brother Mike (11/1), French Minstrel (28/1), Final Attack (33/1)

PALLAS DANCER has only just edged it the last twice but he's going the right way and could prove the answer to this tricky handicap. Quoteline Direct and Corrida de Toros both shaped encouragingly last time , so they either could make a big impression if things drop right for their hold-up style.
