Successful twice in staying handicaps at around 2m last summer. Runner-up over hurdles final start at Catterick (25.3f) in November and whilst well held on return at Carlisle (17.2f) 4 weeks ago, she did taste success on second start back last year.

Infiniti⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 56| BF| D

4/1

Successful over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.6f) in May prior to rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick on Flat at Chepstow (2m) in June. Creditable second at Doncaster (16.5f) since and she's a live player once more.

Form: 37-1112

Uncle Henry¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 55| D

28/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. 17/2, last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 11 days ago, left behind over 3f out. Each-way claims on pick of this season's efforts.

Form: 9-25546

Wadacre Tir¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 60

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 10/1) 2 weeks ago, carrying head a little awkwardly and making no impression. Still, it remains early days at least.

Form: 8-876

(3)

Easter Icon³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: M R Channon| OR: 60

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and market should guide up in trip.

Form: 770

Prophesise^p,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

13/2

Maiden who went close to bucking that trend in handicaps at Beverley/Hamilton (at upto 13f) in July. Possibly not himself when ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 13/2) 24 days ago and he may bounce back in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 554229

Purple Reign^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 57| BF

1/1

Winner at Chepstow (12f) in June and continued good work in hitting the frame both starts since, third of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (14f, good to soft, 2/1) 5 days ago, comfortably faring best of those held up. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 803123

Merlin's Gold^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: D Fentiman| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 40/1) 11 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 806-83

(5)

Tarbat Ness²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: John Berry| OR: 45

25/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Probably worth a crack at this longer trip on balance.

Forecasts

Purple Reign (1/1), Infiniti (4/1), Prophesise (13/2), Lady Shanawell (11/1), Tomorrow's Angel (12/1), Wadacre Tir (14/1), Easter Icon (16/1), I'm To Blame (16/1), Tarbat Ness (25/1), Uncle Henry (28/1), Merlin's Gold (40/1), Loving Pearl (100/1)

A winner at Chepstow in June, PURPLE REIGN has run well to hit the frame both starts since, patently faring best of those held up and arguably unlucky not to win when a close-up third at Ffos Las 5 days ago. He earns the vote upped to 2m for the first time, with another in-form sort, Infiniti, rating the chief threat. Prophesise and Tomorrow's Angel complete the shortlist.
