Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can make presence felt.

Tahonta^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sophie Reed⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 55| D

20/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Visored for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 14 days ago, running on. Not certain to back that up and has a wide draw to contend with.

1/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (13/8) at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Has to be taken seriously.

22/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 13/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Claims if he can back that up.

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. First run since leaving Simon Whitaker when tenth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this course (5.1f) 25 days ago. Tough to assess at present.

Form: 4550-90

25/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, second of 8 in minor event at this course (5.1f) 4 days ago, sticking to task. Uncertain to back that up.

Forecasts

Purple Power (1/1), Louis Treize (4/1), Ustath (6/1), Amazing Amaya (12/1), Symbol of Hope (16/1), Tahonta (20/1), Country Charm (22/1), Daysaq (22/1), Rockley Point (25/1), Mops Gem (33/1), Luckyangel (33/1)

PURPLE POWER has shaped well on both outings since joining George Boughey and looks well worth a chance to defy his reduced mark in this weak-looking affair. Ustath should put up another bold bid if he can get across from stall 9, and Amazing Maya shaped as if still in form last time, so she's another likely player.
