Just Jacob²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 71| D

7/1

Winner at Newbury in August. 4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 424135

(6)

Eton Blue^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 70

9/1

Winner at Brighton in August. 3¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Limited Edition in handicap at Kempton (11f, 11/1) 19 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 634138

Arsonist¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 70

150/1

Last of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 6/1). Off 109 days and raised significantly in trip on this debut for new yard (formerly in the care of Richard Hannon). Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 3148-67

Beowulf¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 70| D

10/1

Latest win at Ffos Las in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 13/2) 12 days ago. One suspects that he's just about in the handicapper's grip for now.

Form: 411336

Mummy's Boy²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 69

18/1

15/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 22 days ago. Remains winless following 7 attempts and he'll probably come up short once more.

Form: 24-3553

(5)

Limited Edition¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 69

9/2

8/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago, responding well. 3 lb rise fair enough and possibilities if able to build on that back on turf.

Form: 9-74351

(7)

Swinton Noon^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| D

33/1

Second of 4 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm, 8/1) 24 days ago. All 4 career wins have been gained on the AW, and more needed if he's to gain breakthrough success on turf here.

Form: 521902

(13)

Her Way^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Quinn| T: K Tutty| OR: 66| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. First run since leaving Roger Charlton when ninth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 521159

Meadram¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 65

5/1

Promising type. 5/6, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago, well positioned. 5 lb rise fair and big chance if able to continue his progression back on turf.

Form: 75011

(4)

Wholelotafun^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 64| CD

14/1

11/2, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago, always holding on. More needed up 2 lb in this stronger race.

Form: 833201

(12)

Night Eagle^p1,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 63| BF| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 4/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and each-way shout if the headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 633115

(14)

My Boy Charles²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Creditable 4 lengths third of 14 to Beryl Burton in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft, 10/1) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 302123

(8)

Lisdarragh²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 61| D

12/1

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 12/1) 23 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. This consistent type is likely to give another good account.

Form: 322221

(9)

Beryl Burton⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: John Berry| OR: 54| BF| D

6/1

Winner at Ffos Las in September. Good fourth of 16 in handicap (11/4) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Merits consideration.

Form: 7-03214

Forecasts

Limited Edition (9/2), Meadram (5/1), Beryl Burton (6/1), Just Jacob (7/1), Night Eagle (15/2), My Boy Charles (17/2), Eton Blue (9/1), Beowulf (10/1), Lisdarragh (12/1), Wholelotafun (14/1), Mummy's Boy (18/1), Swinton Noon (33/1), Her Way (40/1), Arsonist (150/1)

MEADRAM has improved markedly switched to handicaps at Wolverhampton the last twice, looking every inch a progressive type in the process. If he proves equally effective back on turf, a 5 lb rise for his latest success is highly unlikely to be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. Things didn't go entirely Beryl Burton's way last time and she is second choice ahead of Lisdarragh.
