Cazoo Search Drive Smile Handicap

Off time: 15:16 | Winning time: 1m 39.88s

(7)

Precisely³⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 72| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (7/4) at Bath (8f, good), readily. 12-month absence to overcome, but she remains unexposed and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 3211-

(6)

Magnetised³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| D

6/1

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Brighton in August. Last of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 35 days ago, not looking keen. Looks risky.

Form: 547015

(8)

Goddess Of Fire²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 70| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (11.5f, good) 25 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and, in good form prior to that, she's an each-way player.

Form: 322128

Mumtaaz²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 68| D

10/3

7/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter if he's to get his head in front here.

Form: 934266

(5)

Arabic Welcome¹⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 66

14/1

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f), slowly away. Off 6 months and he was well beaten on his sole previous run on turf.

Form: 3-13655

(1)

My Target³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Wigham| OR: 66| D

66/1

Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 37 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form, but this 10-y-o looks vulnerable on balance.

Form: 38-2656

(4)

Fashion Free^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| D

6/1

Latest win at Nottingham in August. 22/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Should go well.

Form: 241665

(3)

Oud Metha Bridge^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 62| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 16/1, 4¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Goddess of Fire in handicap at this C&D (firm) 43 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once again.

Form: 374374

(9)

Stay Coul^p1⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: D Menuisier| OR: 63| BF| D

9/1

Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Windsor (10f, heavy) 63 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and hopes pinned on the new headgear helping to spark some improvement.

Form: 491-944

(10)

Janie Jones⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: M R Channon| OR: 60

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (150/1) at Kempton (8f) 68 days ago. Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap for the first time.

Form: 858

Forecasts

Mumtaaz (10/3), Precisely (9/2), Goddess Of Fire (11/2), Fashion Free (6/1), Magnetised (6/1), Stay Coul (9/1), Oud Metha Bridge (14/1), Arabic Welcome (14/1), Janie Jones (25/1), My Target (66/1)

Assuming all is well following a year off, PRECISELY should prove a tough nut to crack. Indeed, she looked one to follow when bagging a couple of Bath handicaps in the latter stages of last season and may well have more to offer this year and beyond. Eased slightly in class off a reduced mark, Fashion Free is expected to emerge as the main danger. Goddess of Fire is best of the rest.
