4/1

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy, 6/1) 32 days ago. Still of interest bearing in mind the encouragement he showed on his penultimate start (reappearance) at the same course.

Wholeofthemoon²⁵

11/2

Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 4/1) 25 days ago, considerately handled. Up in trip. Likely to be back to his best with a run under his belt.

17/2

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 15/8) 13 days ago, getting first run. Up in trip. Unexposed for this stable and likely to make her presence felt once again.

Form: 7162-61

Sharp Distinction^t¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 69

8/1

6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW). Off 137 days. Handicapper looks in control at the moment.

Form: 47622-6

Beggarman^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 67| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Last of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 34 days ago. Should strip fitter for that, so not ruled out from a sliding mark.

Form: 13460-7

Kalamity Kitty³⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E De Giles| OR: 65| C| D

8/1

Course winner. 13/8, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (16f, good to firm), responding well. Thriving when last seen but year-long absence is an obvious concern.

Form: 541/111-

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62

33/1

Forecasts

Havaila (2/1), Motazzen (4/1), Wholeofthemoon (11/2), Sharp Distinction (8/1), Kalamity Kitty (8/1), Spit Spot (17/2), Beggarman (10/1), Diamand De Vindecy (14/1), Eagle Court (18/1), De Vega's Warrior (25/1), Dirham Emirati (33/1), Home And Dry (150/1)

SPIT SPOT opened her account at the second attempt for her current stable at Chelmsford recently and, up in trip, she's worth a chance to follow up with more progress on the cards. Havaila ran well at Goodwood a month ago, so he looks the main threat ahead of Wholeofthemoon.
