Stopnsearch²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: B R Johnson| OR: 71| D

4/1

12/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 23 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and is on his last winning mark, so warrants strong consideration.

Form: 31748-4

Majestic Tejaan²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: T Ward| OR: 71

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago. Likely to be back on her game, but has a wide draw to contend with.

Form: 64224-7

Takeonefortheteam⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70| CD

6/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in August. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago, conceding first run. Merits consideration.

Form: 65142-2

Hold Fast^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 68| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 18 days ago. Not shaping as if ready to strike despite a sliding mark.

Form: 70377-4

(7)

Simulation Theory^t1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: George Scott| OR: 68

25/1

Unreliable type. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 551/50-7

(3)

King's Castle¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Reed⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 67| BF

40/1

3/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm), unable to sustain effort. Off 141 days. Returns on an appealing mark, so worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: 263425-

Universal Effect^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Philip Prince| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 67| D

66/1

Two wins from 2 runs last year. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 20/1) 16 days ago. Might strip fitter, but she has a bit to prove nonetheless.

Form: 942/11-9

(2)

Dark Esteem¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 65

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago. Could bounce back quickly, so not discounted from a handy draw.

Form: 61403-8

(1)

Admodum³²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 65| D

22/1

Good third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 14/1), not ideally placed. Off 10 months. Claims if tuned up, so worth a market check.

Form: 81878/3-

(9)

Gold Coast²⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: J Butler| OR: 63

50/1

9/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 9 months. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 0/78240-

(5)

Last Mission²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 61

7/2

7/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 28 days ago. Seems to be going the right way, so makes plenty of appeal in a race where most have something to prove.

Form: 746033-

Win Win Power^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 57| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hasn't been firing of late.

Form: 0768-57

Forecasts

Dark Esteem (10/3), Last Mission (7/2), Stopnsearch (4/1), Takeonefortheteam (6/1), Hold Fast (6/1), Win Win Power (14/1), Majestic Tejaan (22/1), Admodum (22/1), Simulation Theory (25/1), King's Castle (40/1), Gold Coast (50/1), Universal Effect (66/1)

LAST MISSION seemed to benefit from a more positive ride when third at Southwell 28 days ago and his profile is a generally progressive one, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of Stopnsearch, who arrives on the back of a positive reappearance at Lingfield. Takeonefortheteam also arrives in form, but he needs everything to drop right from stall 11.
