Buccabay¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77| D

11/10

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good, 17/2) 11 days ago, never nearer. Should be better suited by this extended 5f and solid shortlist material.

Heroism^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 77| D

7/2

Lightly-raced colt who produced his best effort when second at Windsor in July. Respectable effort when sixth in 13-runner event there (6f, good) 37 days ago and he can go well if able to cut out the slow starts.

Form: 7-65426

Lady Dreamer^t,v⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 74| D

11/2

Winner at Windsor in July. Poor efforts last 2 starts, only eighth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last week. Remains low mileage but bounce back is called for.

Form: 221398

Straits Of Moyle¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J Fanning| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 72| D

9/2

Won on penultimate start at Yarmouth in August but was notably weak in the betting and ran badly when attempting to follow up at Newmarket (5f, good) 18 days ago. Still potentially well treated and interesting if market speaks more favourably this time.

My Delilah²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A Wintle| OR: 67| CD

18/1

Course regular won over C&D in May but hasn't shown the same form in a pair of starts since, including when returned to this track (5f, good to soft, 7/1) last month.

Forecasts

Buccabay (11/10), Heroism (7/2), Straits Of Moyle (9/2), Lady Dreamer (11/2), Abolish (12/1), My Delilah (18/1)

BUCCABAY has edged towards a workable-looking mark and Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding is fancied to gain his first win in handicap company, with the slightly longer trip appealing as a positive. Heroism is still relatively unexposed and can pose the biggest threat, with Straits of Moyle making most appeal of the remainder.
