The Resdev Way¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 57| C| D

14/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Possibly needed the run (on back of 4 months off) when seventh of 13 in a C&D handicap 15 days ago. Successful from this mark around here back in the spring and not dismissed lightly.

Form: 423337

True Romance^p,t⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 55| C| D

17/2

Course winner. 9/2, bit below form third of 6 in selling hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Not out of things returned to the level from an easing mark.

Blazer Two⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 54

13/2

Winner at Leicester (11.8f) in July. 15/2, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 46 days ago, carrying head bit awkwardly and never involved. Needs to bounce back.

Sicario^v1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 51| BF

10/3

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Quickly back to form when creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 5/2) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Shortlist material.

Form: 233283

Hidden Pearl²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Faye McManoman| T: John Berry| OR: 49| D

7/1

Belatedly shed maiden tag at Bath (14f) in July and remained in form since, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. Sound claims of hitting the frame at least.

Many Words¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

28/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (66/1) at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago, ridden 3f out and making little impression. Others more persuasive.

Form: 708407

Sheharz^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: I Furtado| OR: 45

14/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 8 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 8 days ago, headway 2f out and plugging on. Less exposed than most if she can build on that run.

Form: 770-583

(7)

Just Percy^v¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 46

10/3

Good second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 16/1) 14 days ago, taking second dying strides. Possibilities if arriving in the same form.

Form: 438582

(9)

Anger Management³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Collen Storey| T: J Ryan| OR: 45

6/1

Little show on Flat previously but did step up to make third hurdles start a winning one at Huntingdon (15.8f) in October. Similar form when third in a juvenile event at Fontwell last month but he needs to translate that form back to the Flat.

Forecasts

Sicario (10/3), Just Percy (10/3), Anger Management (6/1), Blazer Two (13/2), Hidden Pearl (7/1), True Romance (17/2), The Resdev Way (14/1), Sheharz (14/1), Cable Mountain (16/1), Many Words (28/1), Cinzento (33/1)

SICARIO was quickly back to form when finishing third over shorter here 14 days ago and, back up in trip/equipped with a visor, he could be the answer in a race lacking depth. Hidden Pearl and True Romance head up the dangers, whilst The Resdev Way isn't out of things either.
