Course winner who posted fair third of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 17/2) 17 days ago. Considered.
|
13/2, career best when completing a hat-trick in 19-runner handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, eased down. C&D winner too so he looks the one to beat in his bid for a four-timer.
|
Below form eighth of 18 in handicap (8/1) at York (7f, good) 37 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|
Latest win at Redcar in April and good second of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Enters calculations.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2019, but in good nick and poorly drawn when tenth of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Not ruled out.
|
C&D winner but not at his best when fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, soft) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
Progressive sort who readily landed 10-runner maiden (evens) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in September. Makes handicap debut and not taken lightly despite his 9-month absence.
|
Debut winner at Newcastle who returned with respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Possibilities.
|
Raced wide when last of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track now off an easing mark.
|
3-time C&D winner who posted a creditable third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Can give another good account.

Forecasts
Mr Wagyu (10/3), Music Society (7/2), Ghathanfar (11/2), Fortamour (13/2), Adaay Dream (7/1), True Mason (8/1), Abduction (17/2), Lezardrieux (11/1), Highly Sprung (14/1), Corinthia Knight (25/1), Penny Pot Lane (25/1), Melody King (33/1)
A case can be made for a few of these sprinters but MR WAGYU is in the form of his life and hard to side against in his bid for a four-timer after his impressive York victory. Richard Fahey's returning Abduction improved with each of his three runs as a juvenile and is worth a market check on his handicap bow, with in-form Ghathanfar worth a second look too.
