Mikhailovich^t¹⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 100

11/2

Offered little on first 2 starts in this sphere but seemingly took a step in the right direction when third in a 19f Taunton novice in February. Heavy defeat on handicap debut over C&D the following month and he's been off since.

Form: 3/P73P-

Champagne Town^h,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: K Frost| OR: 98

14/1

Winning pointer who got back on track in a first-time hood when runner-up at Southwell in May. That equipment left off following another breathing op and he was disappointing back down to 2m at that venue a month ago.

Form: 33/3-626

Sir Canford^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 97| D

16/1

Off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt for this yard in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap in July. Heavy defeats both starts since raise questions and he's now in a change of headgear.

Form: 8/3419P

Anger Management³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: J Ryan| OR: 97| C| D

9/2

Caused an upset in 4-runner juvenile event here a year ago and looked well at home over 19.6f when doubling tally ay Bangor a month ago. Up 4 lb but he can given it another good go.

Form: 153P-71

Lucky's Dream^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 95

15/2

Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat but better form on the AW than turf. First hurdles outing since 2020 but represents a yard in good form and the market may prove revealing.

Emily Wade^h⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 90| D

9/1

Made second handicap start a winning one at Southwell in March. Placed on next 4 outings prior to taking a backward step when last seen in July. Likely to bounce back given overall profile.

Form: 12-2230

Benny Silver^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 90| BF

6/5

Had shown promise in bumpers and offered more on his third attempt over hurdles when third in novice at Doncaster (16.6f) in January, staying on late. That race worked out well and he found only one too good on August return/handicap debut at Uttoxeter. More to come.

Forecasts

Benny Silver (6/5), Saint Jaguen (7/2), Anger Management (9/2), Mikhailovich (11/2), Lucky's Dream (15/2), Emily Wade (9/1), Champagne Town (14/1), Sir Canford (16/1)

BENNY SILVER couldn't quite justify support on reappearance/handicap debut at Uttoxeter in August but it was a promising run nonetheless and he looks ahead of his mark for a yard going great guns. Saint Jaguen should have more to offer and is feared, along with Anger Management.
