Myboymax^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 76| D

15/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. More needed here up 6 lb.

El Borracho^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: K Stott| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 71| D

20/1

Below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good, 7/1) 24 days ago. Failed to fire latest start in this sphere and others make more appeal.

Mukha Magic^b,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: R Havlin| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 71| C| D

7/2

Three wins from 10 runs this year. Much improved when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (16f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago. Hit with an 8 lb rise, but may be equal to the task.

Embolden⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 63| D

50/1

Unreliable type. 66/1, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 52 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 1837-57

Rampoldi Plan²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 70| BF

9/4

7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 20 days ago. Another prominent showing anticipated off the same mark here.

Form: 7-52242

Gordons Aura^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 66| BF

6/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good 2½ lengths third of 7 to Myboymax in handicap (8/13) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he's open to improvement.

Form: 597-3

Forecasts

Gordons Aura (6/4), Rampoldi Plan (9/4), Mukha Magic (7/2), Myboymax (15/2), El Borracho (20/1), Embolden (50/1)

The handicapper has predictably taken a swipe at MUKHA MAGIC following the 6-y-o's seven-length success over 2m here recently, but on that evidence an 8 lb rise may not be enough to contain Gay Kelleway's charge if he's in the same form. Myboymax had Gordons Aura back in third when scoring at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, but the latter is entitled to come on for that run and the fitting of a visor is likely to help, so he is next on the list ahead of the consistent Rampoldi Plan.
