6/1

Latest win at Ayr in October. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others make more appeal on balance.

Three wins from 16 runs this year. 12/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable.

15/2

C&D winner. 7 wins from 22 runs this year. 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. May again find that there are one or two too strong.

Mighty Gurkha^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 78| D

9/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 14 days ago, never nearer. Others table more pressing claims.

Muscika^v²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/2) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Remains feasibly treated up 3 lb and ought to give another good account.

Form: 108751

Treacherous⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 72| D

10/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2020. 4/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago but more will be needed if he's to snap his losing run in this competitive heat.

Forecasts

Pocket The Profit (5/4), Muscika (6/1), Aberama Gold (6/1), Intervention (15/2), Alablaq (8/1), Vespasian (8/1), Mighty Gurkha (9/1), Treacherous (10/1), High Velocity (10/1), Corinthia Knight (40/1)

The comparatively unexposed VESPASIAN wasn't disgraced in a Class 2 Newmarket handicap on his turf debut when last seen in April, and he is of strong interest back on the all-weather given his scope for improvement. Next on the list is Pocket The Profit, who doesn't always help himself by missing the kick but he continues to edge down the weights and the booking of William Buick adds to his appeal. Muscika hit the target at Chelmsford last month and is also accorded respect.
