Monbaher^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| C

6/4

Muhaarar colt who really clicked when blinkered for his handicap debut at this course last time, powering through from rear before being eased down. Obvious claims despite hefty rise.

Form: 9-631

Mariegold^t⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 77

5/1

Well-bred filly who hasn't really kicked on from a positive debut, seeming amiss when tenth at Kempton 51 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut, but others make more appeal.

Form: 5-40

Doublethetrouble^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: L Wadham| OR: 75

9/1

Hasn't had much racing ang got back on track when runner-up at Nottingham last time, albeit firmly put in his place by the winner. Others have more potential.

Form: 5-2452

Prison Break¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

9/1

Off the mark in Redcar maiden handicap over this trip earlier in the month and did enough to suggest he's still in form at Haydock subsequently. Not discounted.

Form: 03-9513

Fleurman²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69

2/1

Left previous form behind when making a winning handicap debut upped to 12f at Salisbury last time, looking suited by the emphasis on stamina. More to come over further still, so looks a big player.

Form: 8-901

Forecasts

Monbaher (6/4), Fleurman (2/1), Mariegold (5/1), Prison Break (9/1), Doublethetrouble (9/1)

MONBAHER looked way ahead of his mark when scoring at this course on handicap debut last time and, provided the blinkers continue to have a positive effect, he's likely to take the beating. Fleurman also arrives on the back of an impressive success, so he's the obvious danger, although Prison Break isn't ruled out.
