Albegone^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

9/2

2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 35 days ago. Shaped well over C&D on previous outing, so worth another chance to prove himself well treated.

Form: 702326

Winner at Musselburgh in June. 11/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Going the right way, so very much respected if they go a true pace.

33/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Others make more appeal.

16/1

Remains a maiden after 104 Flat runs. Good third of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Obviously hard to have much confidence in for win purposes.

Form: 875073

Forecasts

Royal Jazz (3/1), Albegone (9/2), Newgate Angel (5/1), Hello Girl (11/2), Hard Solution (15/2), Jeans Maite (8/1), Amazing Anna (12/1), Joshua R (14/1), Celerity (16/1), Spirit Power (28/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (33/1)

ALBEGONE looked ahead of his mark when runner-up over C&D in June and, despite a lesser showing at Redcar since, he's worth another chance to open his account with improvement still likely. Fellow 3yo Royal Jazz also arrives in good order, so he could pose a threat, while the consistent Hard Solution is unlikely to be far away.
