Charlies Truck Wash Race Handicap

Off time: 15:34 | Winning time: 1m 11.13s

(1)

Gilt Edge^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Planas⁽⁷⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 69| CD

11/2

Won over C&D off a higher mark at a similar time last year. Recent efforts haven't been too bad and she has a promising claimer taking 7 lb off her back. No surprise if she makes a bold bid.

Form: 74-8735

(3)

Dora Penny^t⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: David Probert| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| C| D

9/4

Back in good form with wins here (5f) and at Leicester (6f) in recent weeks. 6 lb penalty unlikely to prevent her making a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 893511

(4)

Bibulous⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy| OR: 68| D

15/8

AW novice winner last year. Has shaped well when third in a pair of 6f turf handicaps this year, particularly at Nottingham latterly, finishing well after meeting trouble (looked unlucky). Major threat to Dora Penny.

Form: 413-33

(6)

Vape^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 65| D

9/2

Very consistent in defeat since his Windsor win in April, finishing second of 9 in at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start 35 days ago. Ought to give his running but others look better handicapped.

Form: 334322

(2)

Rabat^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 65| D

10/1

5/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb higher in a better race now and perhaps not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 742931

(5)

Me Next¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 64

22/1

Fair maiden. 14/1, unable to sustain effort when fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (7.4f, soft) 17 days ago so this drop back to 6f may help. Others are still preferred, though.

Form: 854-744

(7)

Celerity^v⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: George Rooke| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| D

125/1

One win from 115 Flat runs. 66/1, beaten just under 5 lengths when third of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 9 days ago. Plenty to find on form from 5 lb out of handicap.

Form: 00-0083

Forecasts

Bibulous (15/8), Dora Penny (9/4), Vape (9/2), Gilt Edge (11/2), Rabat (10/1), Me Next (22/1), Celerity (125/1)

Some interesting horses for the level. DORA PENNY had a bit in hand at Leicester on Sunday and can complete a hat-trick, but Henry Candy's Bibulous does rate a big threat after catching the eye at Nottingham last month. Former C&D scorer Gilt Edge is another who is more than capable of winning in this grade.
