Mafia Power³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| D

11/2

Placed 5 times this season, including when third at Lingfield (AW) last month, but his losing run continues to mount up.

Form: 423233

(7)

Rewired^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R L Moore| T: D Menuisier| OR: 77| D

5/1

Latest win at Sandown in August. Ridden too aggressively when fourth at Chester last time, so is betted judged on his previous form. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time.

Form: 751944

Amy Beach⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 76| D

14/1

Capitalised on a soft lead to regain winning thread at Epsom (10f) in July. Struggled to make an impact up in grade since but this return to calmer waters a plus at least.

Form: 142108

Maxine⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 75| D

17/2

Improved for the switch to turf when bagging 10f handicaps at Bath and Pontefract in May. Below par on the all-weather at Kempton last time, but could bounce back now returned to grass.

Form: 112348

Yulong Magicreef¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 71

80/1

Fairly useful maiden at best but little impact in maiden/handicap last 2 starts (fit from hurdling latest). Plenty to prove back from 133-day break.

Form: 63468-0

(12)

Rainbow Jet¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: J Mackie| OR: 68| D

8/1

Shed her maiden tag in good style when bagging a heavy-ground Haydock handicap (10.4f) in May. Performed with credit when third at Windsor next time but below par last 3 starts.

Form: 5-13068

(6)

Photograph^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 67

40/1

Opened his account at Redcar in June and good efforts next 2 starts. Not so good since, though a contested lead probably did him no favours last time.

Form: 213209

(3)

Kentucky Kitten¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

13/2

Showed improved form to resume winning ways back down in trip in 14-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 10 days ago, keeping on well under good ride. Respected under 6 lb penalty.

Form: 313431

(4)

Sunset Memory¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 69| D

15/2

Improved to get off the mark at Sandown in September, looking well suited by the step up in trip. Only sixth of 9 at Wolverhampton since, so needs to bounce back.

Form: 256616

(8)

Mikmak^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| D

28/1

Dual winner this season who wasn't totally disgraced when third in 1m handicap at Pontefract 18 days ago, though essentially owes his finishing position to others underperforming. Up in trip.

Form: 121803

(11)

Tommaso¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P A Kirby| OR: 65

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden who showed nothing on first run since leaving Stef Keniry when last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, soft) 15 days ago. Still very early days with new yard and top rider booked.

Form: 33458

(2)

The Nu Form Way¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 62| D

4/1

Built on the promise of his Beverley run to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 16 days ago, responding well. Remains unexposed so can do better again.

Form: 67-5761

Forecasts

The Nu Form Way (4/1), Rewired (5/1), Mafia Power (11/2), Kentucky Kitten (13/2), Sunset Memory (15/2), Rainbow Jet (8/1), Maxine (17/2), Amy Beach (14/1), Tommaso (18/1), Mikmak (28/1), Photograph (40/1), Yulong Magicreef (80/1)

THE NU FORM WAY opened his account in a pretty messy handicap at Nottingham, but the suspicion is that he can do better again when faced with a greater emphasis on stamina, so he gets the nod to follow up. Kentucky Kitten came in for a good ride at Leciester but is still respected under a 6-lb penalty, with Rewired not one to write off having been ridden too aggressively at Chester last time.
