9/4

Belatedly opened his account at Ripon in August. Evens, not in same form when second of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 9 days ago. Worth another chance in this company.

Form: 739-812

Bavardages²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Philip Lawrence⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| D

9/2

6/1, got back on track despite not being ideally placed when fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 28 days ago, late headway. Needs to build on that.

Form: 8-70494

Destroyer^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: T P Tate| OR: 58| D

4/1

33/1, possibly still needed the run and faced competition for the lead when sixth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 9 days ago, no extra final 1f. Others appeal more.

Form: 0279-66

Hildenley^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J Teal⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, not disgraced reverted to patient tactics when sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 47736

Forecasts

Wots The Wifi Code (9/4), Elusive Heights (10/3), Destroyer (4/1), Bavardages (9/2), Hildenley (11/2), Lucky Violet (15/2), Deconso (33/1)

This can go to Tony Coyle's WOTS THE WIFI CODE, who belatedly opened his account at Ripon earlier this month but was unable to get the job done under a penalty at Hamilton next time. He's worth another chance. Elusive Heights isn't one for maximum faith but gets the vote for second, ahead of Bavardages.
