Atty's Edge¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 70| D

Tricky customer. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 13 days ago, running on. Should go well if he handles the ground.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 68

12/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 27 days ago. Claims if he can get back on the up.

Tom Tulliver^b¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: J W Unett| OR: 66| D

66/1

150/1 and blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm), ridden too aggressively. Off 146 days. Hard to fancy.

(7)

Colombe^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: G Boughey| OR: 66| BF| D

4/1

Winner at Windsor in May. Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 7 to Atty's Edge in handicap (7/4) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 13 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 153393

(6)

Symbol of Hope¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 63| D

18/1

Winner at Beverley in August. 40/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 618950

(4)

Mehmo^v¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| D

9/1

Unreliable sort. One win from 24 Flat runs. Winner at Doncaster in July. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good, 15/2) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Hard to trust.

Form: 132645

Forecasts

Colombe (4/1), Atty's Edge (9/2), Saras Hope (11/2), Thrilla In Manila (6/1), Stake Acclaim (15/2), Mehmo (9/1), Astro Jakk (12/1), Berrtie (12/1), Grandfather Tom (14/1), Symbol of Hope (18/1), Tom Tulliver (66/1)

Having scored at Ayr in September, THRILLA IN MANILLA shaped well (first home in his group) when fourth at Redcar earlier this month, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways at the likely expense of the in-form Colombe. Berrtie is another one to consider in an open race.
