William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League Race 33 (Handicap)

(2)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 90| CD

C&D winner. 11/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago, comfortably. Another personal best will be needed if he's to follow-up off this 8 lb higher mark.

Form: 582121

(1)

Tommy de Vito¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Hills| OR: 89| CD

C&D winner. 12/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 12 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 4 lb rise tolerable and another bold show likely.

Form: 295751

(11)

Mokaatil^v⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 88| D

Latest win at Sandown in August. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 7 days ago, running on. Visor back on. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 440156

(13)

Watchya⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 90| D

Three wins from 5 runs this year. 85/40, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 58 days ago, bit in hand. This looks more demanding up 5 lb.

Form: 7-10101

(3)

Fai Fai^v1⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: C Fellowes| OR: 88| D

66/1, first run since leaving A. Fabre when last of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on UK debut 83 days ago. Back up in trip and equipped with a first-time visor.

Form: 1537-0

(6)

Seven Brothers⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: S Dixon| OR: 83| D

Latest win at Doncaster in March. 16/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away if he takes to this surface.

Form: 130643

(5)

Ava Go Joe^p⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| D

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Ripon in April. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 11 to Badri in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 50 days ago and meets that rival on 9 lb better terms here. Big player.

Form: 119763

(7)

Astro Jakk^b²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 82| CD

C&D winner. First run since leaving K. R. Burke when eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 100/1) 23 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 364408

(4)

King Of Tonga^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 82| D

Four wins from 9 runs this year. 4/1, won 9-runner handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. More needed having been raised 5 lb, but he's clearly in good nick.

Form: 222101

(9)

The Lamplighter^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: George Baker| OR: 81| D

Good second of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 40 days ago, finishing well. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.

Form: 25-2252

(12)

Tyger Bay^b,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Allen| OR: 79| D

Latest win at Lingfield in June. 22/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Engaged 1.50 Doncaster Wednesday.

Form: 554195

(10)

Water Of Leith⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 76| D

Three wins from 21 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Ascot (5f, good) 5 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 211734

Zero Carbon¹²

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: R Hughes J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Forecasts

Badri (4/1), Watchya (11/2), Tommy de Vito (6/1), King Of Tonga (7/1), The Lamplighter (7/1), Seven Brothers (10/1), Zero Carbon (10/1), Ava Go Joe (10/1), Water Of Leith (12/1), Mokaatil (16/1), Fai Fai (20/1), Tyger Bay (25/1), Astro Jakk (33/1)

THE LAMPLIGHTER has found just one too good on three of his four starts this year and is taken to deservedly get his head in front here. George Baker's charge was just touched off in the Stewards' Cup consolation race at Glorious Goodwood last time, form which is up there with the best on offer in this contest. Ava Go Joe was third behind Badri over C&D in July, but has a good chance of reversing those placings now 9 lb better off. He is second choice ahead of Tommy de Vito and King of Tonga.
