Off time: 13:50 | Winning time: 6m 34.5s

Abaya Du Mathan^b,t⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104

16/5

Scored over fences at Ffos Las in April. More miss than hit since but recent Worcester third was a step back in the right direction and he'll have a big say here if able to build on that.

Form: 3-P2P63

Flying Verse^b,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin| T: David Dennis| OR: 101| CD

13/2

Got back on track following a breathing operation when second at Stratford in July but he failed to back that up when a well-held third of 5 at Bangor since. Claims if bouncing back to the Stratford form.

Form: 4-24523

Minella Voucher^p,t¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 89

5/1

Started the season with 3 creditable runner-up efforts but his run of good form came to a halt when a remote fourth at Worcester last time.

Form: 54-2224

Joey Steel^p⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁸⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89| CD

10/3

Off 8 months before eye-catching third at Warwick but he's disappointingly failed to build on that since, pulling up at Stratford last time. A short break since needs to have had a reviving effect.

Form: 216-38P

On Time^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85| BF| CD

10/3

Off the mark when easily winning mares' handicap over C&D in July. Third at Stratford next time and player if none the worse for a heavy late fall back there since.

Form: 75-413F

Findusatgorcombe^p,t²²²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Angus Cheleda| T: J D Frost| OR: 83| C| D

14/1

Hard to get too excited by last season's efforts, pulling up on his final start in January. Is very well handicapped if sparking back to life after a 7-month break but he's hard to be confident about.

Form: 4P3P8P-

Shanroe Smooch^p⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 67

14/1

Successful between the flags, but he's 0-19 under Rules and was beaten 14 lengths when last of 3 finishers over C&D in June. 11 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 5/32-P43

Forecasts

Abaya Du Mathan (16/5), Joey Steel (10/3), On Time (10/3), Minella Voucher (5/1), Flying Verse (13/2), Findusatgorcombe (14/1), Shanroe Smooch (14/1)

There were better signs from ABAYA DU MATHAN in a deeper race than this at Worcester last week and he might be up to giving the weight away if showing up here in similar form. C&D winner On Time could be the chief threat if none the worse for her late tumble at Stratford last month.
