Tralee Hills^v²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: S Hodgson| OR: 73

10/3

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable 3½ lengths third of 12 to Singing The Blues in handicap (11/2) at this course (14f, heavy) 24 days ago. Down another 1 lb and will be a danger to all, provided the word 'firm' doesn't appear in the going description.

Form: 2-42543

Ernesto^t,v⁸³

14/1

Visor on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 83 days ago. Brushed aside when odds on for a match at Carlisle on latest start in this sphere in May. Has undergone a wind op.

Form: 542-362

Singing The Blues¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Mrs Jo Supple⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| C

5/1

Course winner. Latest win here in August. Last of 7 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to bounce back.

Form: 885417

Dino Velvet^v¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Georgia King⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 70| D

40/1

Fairly useful 2m winner over fences. Visored for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 22/1) 13 days ago. Needs to step up on that, but this stiffer test could help.

Form: 61499/6

Tribal Commander^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 67| D

16/1

40/1, first run since leaving Ian Williams when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 18 days ago. Each-way chance if able to build on that back on turf, but his record is too patchy for comfort.

Form: 3/05-514

Olympic Honour^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 65| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 16/1, creditable 5 lengths fourth of 12 to Singing The Blues in handicap at this course (14f, heavy) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 68/134-4

Tin Fandango^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| D

5/1

Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (16f) 18 days ago, left with lot to do. Decent effort when third over C&D on penultimate start and mark is now 2 lb lower, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 24-2236

(10)

Arthalot^p⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss Heidi Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 60

12/1

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to soft, 4/1) 78 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and possibilities here off a reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 00/710-4

(9)

Triple Nickle^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 59

10/1

Respectable 7¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Singing The Blues in handicap at this course (14f, heavy, 50/1) 24 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 37-4355

(1)

Twilight Prince²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 58

11/1

16/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Moving back up in trip is a good move and he's one to consider.

Form: 7-37204

(2)

Emraan^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss Abigail Voyce⁽⁷⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 54

20/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 5/1, third of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 7 days ago, having run of race. Twilight Prince is presumably the stable first-string.

Forecasts

Tralee Hills (10/3), Olympic Honour (9/2), Singing The Blues (5/1), Tin Fandango (5/1), Triple Nickle (10/1), Twilight Prince (11/1), Arthalot (12/1), Ernesto (14/1), Tribal Commander (16/1), Byron Hill (16/1), Emraan (20/1), Dino Velvet (40/1)

TRALEE HILLS and Olympic Honour were third and fourth respectively in the handicap won by Singing The Blues here earlier this month, but conditions were testing on that occasion and the winner subsequently misfired at Newbury. Tralee Hills is taken to come out on top this time, on the proviso that the ground doesn't dry out appreciably. Twilight Prince should appreciate stepping back up in trip and just about shades Olympic Honour as the main danger.
