Admirable Lad³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 55| CD

85/40

C&D winner who opened account for the season at Yarmouth last month and back to somewhere near best when following up at Chelmsford (6f) 39 days ago. Merits consideration in hat-trick bid returned to handicap company.

My Boy Jack^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 55| BF

4/1

Maiden who ran up to best when 2.5 lengths fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 2 starts back, no extra final 100 yds. Well backed, lost all chance at the start when tenth of 11 back at that venue 17 days ago but not one to write off.

Mokaman^b⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53

11/1

5/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 67 days ago, weakening final 1f. Had previously shaped up well in turf handicaps and he's not one to dismiss out of hand back on AW.

Clashaniska^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| D

7/1

Latest win at Chepstow (6f) in August. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft, 10/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip.

Amalfi Gem^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: P G Murphy| OR: 53| D

11/1

Winner at Bath in May. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 23 days ago, staying on. Can get involved again back up in trip operating from the same mark.

Maahi Ve^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M J Attwater| OR: 49

17/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Ran poorly on back of 3 months off when tenth of 11 in minor event (7/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 33 days ago. Needs to show benefit of that run to feature here.

Form: 222240

Secret To Success^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 48| CD

17/2

Sole success from 26 Flat runs came over C&D last summer. Mixed bag so far this year, 25/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and return to this venue rates a likely plus.

Miss Anaco⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: S R Bowring| OR: 50

11/1

AW winner who posted a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 73 days ago, headway under pressure over 1f out and keeping on. Has since switched yards and this looks a little less demanding.

Form: 022754

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Brittain| OR: 45| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Forty nine runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 4 days ago. Something to find on form.

Forecasts

Admirable Lad (85/40), My Boy Jack (4/1), Baileys Bling (5/1), Clashaniska (7/1), Maahi Ve (17/2), Secret To Success (17/2), Amalfi Gem (11/1), Mokaman (11/1), Miss Anaco (11/1), Qaaraat (16/1), Hard Solution (16/1)

Competitive fare and it may just pay to side with MY BOY JACK. He did himself no favours with a tardy start at Southwell 17 days ago, yet had previously shaped as though his turn may not be far away when fourth over 7f at that venue previously. From a career-low mark, it would come as no surprise to see him thereabouts. The hat-trick seeking Admirable Lad and Miss Anaco rate next best.
