Wise Eagle²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: A Nicol| OR: 70

5/4

6/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 27 days ago, holding on gamely. Unexposed as a stayer on the Flat, so warrants strong consideration after a small rise.

Form: 17777-1

Severus Alexander^b,e/s,t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 67

22/1

28/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 25 days ago. Ticking over nicely on the AW, so not a forlorn hope with a fitness edge over most.

Form: 0-25853

I Can't Remember^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68

28/1

Moody sort. Visored for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 18/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Bit to prove.

Form: 3170-70

Justified¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 67

4/1

Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1). Off 142 days. Nicely treated and represents a stable who have made a positive start to the campaign, so worth chancing.

Elhafei⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Mackie| OR: 65| D

12/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 10/1) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 73-0756

Nataleena⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 65| D

33/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Last of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 91 days. Bit to prove.

Form: 10884-8

Single²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Edward Greatrex| T: M R Channon| OR: 64| D

3/1

9/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 25 days ago. Dropped another pound since then and this isn't a particularly strong affair, so she's not dismissed.

Form: 3247-34

(4)

Buyer Beware¹³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 61| C

100/1

Course winner. 20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good) 135 days ago. Off 135 days. Inconsistent.

Form: 720/629-

Low Profile^p²⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: M Walford| OR: 55| D

14/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good, 22/1). Off 8 months. Previously trained by Rebecca Bastiman. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Wise Eagle (5/4), Single (3/1), Justified (4/1), Inside Intel (10/1), Elhafei (12/1), Low Profile (14/1), Severus Alexander (22/1), I Can't Remember (28/1), Nataleena (33/1), Buyer Beware (100/1)

Although he's had plenty of racing, JUSTIFIED still appeals as the type to make a better 4-y-o and, with his stable amongst the winners, there's every chance he'll be ready to go making his reappearance from a lenient mark. As such, he's preferred to recent Newcastle scorer Wise Eagle, with the consistent Single expected to give her running again.
