Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 57

8/1

Went backwards from reppearance when seventh of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 77 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Less exposed than most and has Murphy booked but more is required,

Form: 4556-67

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 53| CD

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 53| BF| D

9/2

Latest win at Ffos Las in July. 13/8, well backed but below expectations when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Generally consistent, though, and isn't taken lightly.

Form: 143245

Sparked¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 53| BF

15/2

Good second over C&D on penultimate outing but wasn't in same form when seventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Player on pick of form but more poor efforts than good of late.

Form: 664827

Rhubarb¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R J Price| OR: 53| D

7/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Bounced back to form when third of 15 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 11 days ago, never nearer. Others preferred.

Form: 335383

El Hibri¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51

6/1

Step back in right direction when tenth of 15 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 11 days ago, keeping on having been denied a run 1f out. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 3-06500

Tilsworth Ony Ta²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 48| C

13/2

Only win from 31 runs came here last summer but he's been placed on each of his last 4 starts, again running creditably when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. High draw a concern but lots to like otherwise.

33/1

First impact when second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft, 66/1) 35 days ago. This race is more competitive but not ruled out if able to back last effort up.

11/1

Overcame tricky circumstances (stumbled start) when getting off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 22/1) 25 days ago. Still unexposed as a sprint and isn't ruled out.

Forecasts

The Cola Kid (9/2), Essme (9/2), Bungle Bay (11/2), El Hibri (6/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (13/2), Rhubarb (7/1), Sparked (15/2), Debater (8/1), Nubough (10/1), Deep Spirit (11/1), Kodi Dancer (20/1), Queen Sarabi (28/1), Flip Mode (28/1), Moorgate (33/1), Time Patrol (100/1)

BUNGLE BAY has remained in form since winning at Wolverhampton and James Evans' gelding gets the nod in a competitive low-level sprint. The Cola Kid has the benefit of a good-value claimer aboard and can bounce back to form after a rare poor effort over C&D last time, whilst the last-time-out winner Deep Spirit and the in-form Tilsworth Ony Ta complete the shortlist despite the latter holding a less-than-ideal draw.
