9/2

11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Had a bit to spare and should put up another bold showing after a small rise.

10/3

Latest win at Yarmouth in September. 7/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Dropped 1 lb and merits respect.

18/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 65 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others are more appealing.

14/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago. Might strip fitter for that run, so can't be ruled out.

Raatea^h⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 91| C

9/2

Course winner. Latest win here in June. Sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft) 53 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs everything to drop right.

Form: 701046

5/2

Bit below form fifth of 11 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good, 12/1) 63 days ago. Makes tapeta debut off a break, and could make his presence felt.

The Turpinator⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 88| BF| D

20/1

Zip^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 4/1, won 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 27 days ago, keeping on well. This is a stronger contest but he should give another good account.

Forecasts

Spirit Of Nguru (5/2), First Folio (10/3), Raatea (9/2), Documenting (9/2), Zip (12/1), Hafeet Alain (14/1), Bass Player (18/1), Larado (20/1), The Turpinator (20/1), Azano (20/1)

DOCUMENTING looked back to his best when seeing off a progressive sort at Wolverhampton last time and he's fancied to go in again if things drop right. Recent C&D winner Zip is a danger despite stepping up in grade and Spirit of Nguru looks of interest starting out on this surface after a couple of months off.
