7/2

3 wins from 6 runs this year. 11½ lengths last of 6 to Toro Strike in Supreme Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm, 15/2) 88 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to rediscover his form after wind op.

Mums Tipple⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 102| D

11/2

Very classy at his peak. 66/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 54 days ago. Has won on the all-weather, can't be ruled out in this company.

Trumble¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D Loughnane| OR: 92| CD

10/11

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (6/4) 19 days ago, plenty in hand. Raised a further 7 lb but dangerous to oppose round here.

Form: 1-96511

8/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

11/1

Course winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in September. 7/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 14 days ago, running on. Should make an impact.

Forecasts

Trumble (10/11), Corvair (3/1), Mehmento (7/2), Mums Tipple (11/2), Alexander James (8/1), Papa Stour (11/1)

TRUMBLE has looked untouchable round here in three visits to date and should be able to maintain his unbeaten course record despite being raised a further 7 lb. Papa Stour looks the biggest threat having not been beaten far here a fortnight ago. Mums Tipple is next on the list.
