Fravanco²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: George Rooke| T: M Madgwick| OR: 62

17/2

Opened account at Lingfield in July and fared best of those ridden prominently when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good, 14/1) 3 weeks ago. Can give his running again upped in trip.

Form: 55715

Systemic^p,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 61

8/1

Ran better than on his previous outing when fourth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good, 28/1) 9 days ago. Needs to be able to build on his latest run.

Form: 553/7-04

Lunar Shadow¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 60

5/1

In good heart on the Flat/over hurdles, with latest win at Lingfield (AW) in March. 11/2, shaped as if still in form when unseated rider 3 out in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 8-14233

Beggarman^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 60

16/5

Having dropped to a career-low mark, only narrowly denied when second of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 6/1) 24 days ago. Can go one better with good-value claimer on board.

Form: 0-78282

Humaniste²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 58

25/1

After a spell in points, never involved when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 18/1) 24 days ago. Others look stronger.

Nevendon^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 56| BF

7/2

Again only beaten by an in-form rival when second of 12 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 4/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 000-422

(3)

Kindgirl^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: A Ralph| OR: 50

12/1

Not quite in the same form as on her reappearance when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 33/1) 31 days ago, despite having been well positioned. Others more persuasive.

Form: 6950-37

(5)

Molliana^p,t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 47

13/2

Successful at Les Landes in July. Below form when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 6/1) 31 days ago. However, placed at this course earlier in the year and she lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 2-35419

Ladypacksapunch¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 46

16/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago, but she looks to be vulnerable once more.

Form: 023775

Hammy End^h¹⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 45

66/1

Again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 16/1) when last seen in May. Looks to be up against it on his return to action.

Form: 649098

Forecasts

Beggarman (16/5), Nevendon (7/2), Lunar Shadow (5/1), Molliana (13/2), Systemic (8/1), Fravanco (17/2), Kindgirl (12/1), Ladypacksapunch (16/1), Humaniste (25/1), First Quest (25/1), Hammy End (66/1)

BEGGARMAN was beaten only a short head by Dirham Emirati (runs in the previous race on this card) here last month and he looks ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Nevendon arrives in good form having finished runner-up at this course on his last 2 starts and is feared most, with Lunar Shadow completing the shortlist.
