Mistress Light^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 63

7/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in minor event (8/1) at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Improvement needed now handicapping, but she's in good hands to progress.

Form: 934

Third Batch^p,h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: S Woods| OR: 63

33/1

Winner at Lingfield in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 11/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and she looks vulnerable.

Form: 371469

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 58| D

12/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good, 7/1). Off 167 days but will be a threat if fully tuned-up.

Form: 13414-5

Imperial Cult¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 58| BF

11/4

13/8, below form 12¾ lengths sixth of 13 to Asense in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 14 days ago, left with too much to do. Merits consideration.

Form: 253326

11/4

(12)

First Cut¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Knight| OR: 60

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and well worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 558

(13)

Asense^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 55

9/2

Three wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (13f, soft, 12/1) 14 days ago. Up another 4 lb, but she's clearly in the form of her life and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 653111

Anticipating²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: D Menuisier| OR: 58

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 66645

(11)

Fullforward^v⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 58| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 9/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm) 42 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive.

Form: 644210

Qeyaady²⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: P Phelan| OR: 52| BF

80/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 200/1, tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good). Off 8 months. Poor effort on latest start in this sphere and he has work to do.

Form: 654699-

Assembled^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 49| C

9/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 27 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Forecasts

Cherryhawk (11/4), Imperial Cult (11/4), Asense (9/2), Mistress Light (7/1), Assembled (9/1), Fascinating Lips (10/1), Anticipating (12/1), Placated (12/1), Fullforward (20/1), Dotties Star (20/1), Third Batch (33/1), First Cut (40/1), Qeyaady (80/1)

The switch to more positive tactics has brought about improvement in ASENSE, who completed the hat-trick in decisive fashion over 13f with Anna Gibson doing the steering at Bath a fortnight ago. Dropping back in trip here won't be a problem and she is taken to go in again. Imperial Cult was below par in that Bath handicap and will be a threat if able to get back on track. Placated could also have a part to play, while Fascinating Lips is accorded respect, too.
