Good Birthday^v⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 87| D

11/4

Temperamental sort but he was on a going day when taking advantage of his falling mark at Yarmouth (9f) last week. Likely to be competitive under a 5 lb penalty if turning up in a similar mood.

Farasi Lane^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward| OR: 85

9/1

Below par lately but has dropped back to the same mark as when winning a competitive Sandown handicap just over a year ago. Could bounce back.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Hasn't really threatened since a Ripon success in April but he is well handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor.

Teston^p⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 82| D

12/1

Useful at his peak for Ivan Furtado but ended his time with that yard on a low note and down the field on his Thirsk return for a new trainer at the end of July. Hollie Doyle up but would need to see market support to consider.

Toronado Grey^p⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 78

25/1

Cheekpieces and return to the AW did the job when back to winning ways at Kempton (1m) in June. Not in the same form when third of 4 on turf at Epsom since. Been off 10 weeks.

Form: 27-6613

Sense Of Worth¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72

50/1

Quite useful on AW in Ireland but well held in 2 comeback runs for new yard in the spring. Returns from 4 months off with a fair bit to prove.

Form: 0292-50

Urban Violet⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: R Havlin| T: M R Channon| OR: 72| D

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 45 days ago. More needed.

Form: 99-0250

Pride Of Nepal^p,t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J Scott| OR: 71| BF| CD

13/2

4-y-o who is enjoying a productive campaign, gaining third success in good style at Windsor at the start of last month. Respectable second (despite steady gallop) back at that venue 37 days ago but his improvement has come on ground faster than good.

Form: 112312

Lawn Ranger⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: M J Attwater| OR: 70| CD

7/1

Has slipped to an attractive mark and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 19 at Newbury last Friday. Interesting runner.

Carp Kid^p⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 68| D

5/1

Regained the winning thread at Windsor in July. Has remained in form since and he's back to only 1 lb above that successful mark.

Tommy G⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| C| D

8/1

Landed an eighth Ayr success when shading a tight finish over 1m last week. This former course winner looks well treated under a 4 lb penalty.

Forecasts

Good Birthday (11/4), Carp Kid (5/1), Pride Of Nepal (13/2), Lawn Ranger (7/1), Tommy G (8/1), Farasi Lane (9/1), General Lee (10/1), Hortzadar (12/1), Teston (12/1), Urban Violet (14/1), Toronado Grey (25/1), Sense Of Worth (50/1)

TOMMY G is 2 lb well-in compared to his future mark under a 4 lb penalty so he might be worth chancing to land a second win in quick succession. Lawn Ranger, another who was seen out recently, is well handicapped and is sure to go well if backing up Friday's Newbury fourth. Farasi Lane is another on a favourable mark if able to stage a revival.
