Anisoptera⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: B R Johnson| OR: 61| C

13/2

Course winner. Placed 2 starts before turning a rare poor effort to finish 16¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Sausalito in handicap at this C&D (AW, 4/1) 6 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 285326

Lunar Shadow¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 60| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Dual hurdles scorer in the summer was possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) last time. Market good guide on return from 6-month absence.

Hooves Like Jagger^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

15/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 18 days ago. Consistent sort should give another good account down in trip.

Form: 93-2533

(7)

Broad Appeal⁷²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 57| D

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 12/1) 72 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 2787-85

(2)

Abstract¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

20/1

Sole career win came over C&D in March. Found life tougher under a penalty when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 6-05515

11/1

Forecasts

Sausalito (1/2), Anisoptera (13/2), Hooves Like Jagger (15/2), Hill Station (11/1), Imperial Cult (12/1), Broad Appeal (14/1), Lunar Shadow (20/1), Abstract (20/1), Knight Of Kings (25/1)

SAUSALITO is on a real roll at present and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop him extending his winning sequence to six. Anisoptera didn't give her running behind the selection last time but her overall profile is positive for this type of event, whilst Hooves Like Jagger is a reliable sort and can also make the placings.
