Alternative Fact¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 84| D

11/2

Lost his way for Ed Dunlop but is a useful handicapper at his best and ran creditably on first outing for a new stable when fifth at Newbury (10f) 19 days ago. Chance if building on that.

5/1

C&D winner who proved better than ever when resuming winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 62 days ago, pushed out. Can give another good account.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 79| D

9/2

Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Is down to a handy mark judged on her early-season form.

7/1

Winner at Carlisle in July. Very good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) 7 days ago, clear of rest. May go one better with a repeat.

Forecasts

Moktasaab (4/1), Kaleidoscopic (9/2), Bad Company (5/1), Alternative Fact (11/2), Purple Ribbon (11/2), Rainbow Jet (6/1), Natchez Trace (7/1), Kattani (15/2), London Arch (14/1), Aweedram (25/1), Finoah (28/1), Enthused (40/1), Thistimenextyear (50/1)

NATCHEZ TRACE pulled clear of the rest when runner-up in a useful handicap over C&D last week and looks the most persuasive option turned out quickly from the same mark. Purple Ribbon has made a good start to her career and may have more to offer now handicapping up in trip, while Alternative Fact is well treated on old form and will be a factor if building on his stable debut.
