He's Our Star^v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| D

11/2

Ended long losing run at Brighton (1m) in August and finished runner-up spot six times thereafter at up to 1m. Below best at Lingfield (1m) 5 days ago but bounce back not ruled out in refitted visor.

Form: 22222-7

Think Trigger⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

11/4

Epaulette gelding who has shaped with some promise in a trio of maiden/minor events, keeping on gradually when midfield over 7f here in October. Likely there's better to come now handicapping.

Makambe^p³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 56| CD

5/2

C&D winner who ran well from his reduced mark when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 3 days ago. Can get involved with a repeat.

Form: 76346-2

Dynakite⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Brisland| OR: 56

7/1

18/1, first run since leaving Richard John O'Brien when excellent fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago, left with too much to do. Expected to be thereabouts.

Form: 333404-

Tenth Century²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Blake| OR: 55| CD

11/1

Fountain Of Youth gelding who shed maiden tag from much-reduced mark when landing a C&D handicap 24 days ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip if he can back that up now.

Form: 525581-

Mr Mac^v⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 55| C| D

10/1

Course winner. 14/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 5 days ago, ridden over 2f out and keeping on. Well treated if he's able to build on that now.

Form: 44099-3

My Boy Frankie¹⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: M Murphy| OR: 53

7/1

Modest form in a couple of AW minor/maiden events early last year but failed to progress thereafter in handicaps at up to 10f. Likely best watched now starting out for new yard.

Form: 708677-

Levendi³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 53

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Attracted support but not ideally placed when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 32 days ago. Remains early days, so not entirely dismissed.

Form: 79509-

Purple Paddy²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 46| CD

40/1

3-time C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable 4 lengths eighth of 14 to Tenth Century in a C&D handicap 24 days ago, never better than midfield.

Form: 3/84608-

Dylan's Ruby⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at this course (6f) 61 days ago. Made little impact so far but pedigree offers hope she can do better now tackling low-grade handicaps.

Form: 070-

Forecasts

Makambe (5/2), Think Trigger (11/4), Fact Or Fable (9/2), He's Our Star (11/2), Dynakite (7/1), My Boy Frankie (7/1), Mr Mac (10/1), Tenth Century (11/1), Purple Paddy (40/1), Levendi (50/1), Dylan's Ruby (125/1)

Competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of DYNAKITE. He remains a maiden but there was definite encouragement to glean from his yard debut fourth in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago, running on late having been set plenty to do. He looks on a workable mark and could be the answer. Think Trigger, on handicap debut, Makambe and Tenth Century are a trio of others to consider.
