Peripeteia¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 59

Returned to form with the hood left off when successful at Ripon (9.7f) in August and backed that up when runner-up back there next time. Not in same form at Beverley 11 days ago, so needs to bounce back.

Larkin^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 61

6/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap (17/2) at Ffos Las (8f, good to soft) 37 days ago, responding well having travelled best. 3 lb rise fair and needs considering.

Form: 90-0551

9/1

C&D winner who ran respectably when sixth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 87 days ago, slowly away. Now 4 lb below her last winning mark, so one to consider.

9/2

Stepped up on recent run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 17/2) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Possibilities if this longer trip draws some improvement.

10/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 9/2) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Stamina to prove over this longer trip.

Cicely¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 57| CD

5/2

3-time C&D winner. Has been in patchy form of late but return to this venue rates an obvious plus.

Form: 645745

Quercus Robur^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53

5/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 5/2) 11 days ago, just holding on. Nudged up 4 lb.

Forecasts

Cicely (5/2), Kenilworth King (9/2), Quercus Robur (5/1), Larkin (6/1), Shabs (13/2), Peripeteia (15/2), Diamond Jill (9/1), Heerathetrack (10/1), Young Winston (18/1)

DIAMOND JILL has dropped to a handy mark and has a reasonable record at this track, so is given the tentative vote in a competitive race. Cicely is another who goes well here and is feared, along with Larkin, who still looks on a fair mark following a 3 lb rise for Ffos Las.
