Le Forban¹³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 74

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in minor event (80/1) at Kempton (8f), not knocked about. Off 138 days/gelded. Makes handicap debut. Well worth a market check.

Form: 525-

Giewont^e/c,t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 74| C

10/3

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (6/1) at this course (7f, AW) 26 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Can make presence felt once more.

Form: 825-51

Fozzie Bear^h1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: B R Johnson| OR: 73| BF

10/1

9/4, respectable third of 8 in maiden at this course (10f, AW) 39 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Drop back in trip should help, but he's well exposed.

Form: 4348-53

Melodramatica⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: Rae Guest| OR: 73| C

15/2

Thrice-raced winner (at this track). 13/2, fifth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 56 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus. Bred to be better than a mark of 73, so she's a notable handicap debutant.

Form: 1-45

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 71

4/1

Dead-heated in 2-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 1/6) 57 days ago, joining leader line. Hood on 1st time. Likely to give another bold showing from the front.

3/1

Career best when winning 4-runner maiden (10/3) at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago, rallying. Going the right way and latest effort has been boosted, so can follow up on handicap debut.

Form: 4-521

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 62

12/1

Wynter Wildes (3/1), Giewont (10/3), Golden Sands (4/1), Le Forban (9/2), Melodramatica (15/2), Fozzie Bear (10/1), Ummsuquaim (10/1), Attache (12/1)

WYNTER WILDES showed a good attitude to see off a subsequent winner at Southwell last time and the handicapper doesn't appear to have been harsh with a mark of 63, so she gets the marginal vote in a tricky event. Golden Sands warrants respect in the hat-trick bid and Melodramatica's claims can't be ignored given she's probably not yet reached her peak.
