Rogue Force⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 53| D

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (8f, heavy) 48 days ago, making little impression. Mark has eased further but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 668999

Turbo Command¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 49| D

4/1

Dual winner at Southwell (7f) earlier this year and shaping up well in trio of handicaps at Ayr before a lesser display at Carlisle (7.9f) 17 days ago. However, bounce back not ruled out from this career-low mark.

Form: 764237

Doomsday^v1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: L Bailey| OR: 48| BF| D

7/2

Just the one win from 21 Flat runs but he again ran respectably when fourth of 9 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 18 days ago. Should give another good account with the visor replacing cheekpieces.

Spartakos^p⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 48| BF| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, bit below form fifth of 13 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on pick of form.

Kalama Sunrise⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: J Channon| OR: 46

11/2

Coulsty filly who is related to several winners but yet to beat a rival in trio of novice/maiden events on AW/turf spread over 5 months, latterly in 13-runner event at Newbury (10f) in July. Still, switch to handicaps a plus from basement mark and progress not ruled out.

Form: 970

Indian Outlaw^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: Paul Collins| OR: 46

14/1

Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (66/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Blinkers reached for now.

Forecasts

Spartakos (9/4), Doomsday (7/2), Turbo Command (4/1), Kalama Sunrise (11/2), Rogue Force (11/2), Amerrone (8/1), Indian Outlaw (14/1)

Plenty of these hold few secrets and it could just pay to take a chance on a handicap debutante in the shape of KALAMA SUNRISE. Ultimately well beaten all 3 starts in novice company, she should find this sort of assignment much more suitable from a low opening mark and it would come as no surprise to see her do better. Spartakos and Doomsday head the dangers, with Turbo Command another not out of things.
