Mick's Spirit^v1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 67| D

5/4

Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 6 days ago. First-time visor replaces blinkers. This consistent sort should give another good account from a handy draw in 2.

Form: 83542-2

3/1

6/4, career best when winning 5-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5f) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Mark looks workable and should go well under Hollie Doyle.

Nubough^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 63

17/2

Lost all chance start when fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 17 days ago. Had recorded 2 good placed efforts on AW prior to that. Draw could have been kinder but still one to consider.

Pablo Del Pueblo¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: S Dow| OR: 62

9/2

AW winner for this trainer last January. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 8/1) in September but not seen since. Much depends on whether he's primed after the lay-off.

Forecasts

Mick's Spirit (5/4), Em Jay Kay (3/1), Pablo Del Pueblo (9/2), Ooh Is It (11/2), Nubough (17/2), Ramdon Rocks (14/1), Autumn Flight (14/1), Ornate (25/1), I'm Mable (33/1)

An opening handicap mark in the mid-60s looks manageable for last month's novice winner EM JAY KAY so he gets a narrow vote ahead of the reliable Mick's Spirit. Nubough is better than he could show last time and may prove best of the remainder.
