Keep It Hush^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event (20/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago, likely the run was needed on the back of 9 months off. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and the market should guide.

Form: 4-35

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 57

Zoom Star⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR: 54| CD

9/4

Landed this race for each of the last 2 years (latterly from a 1 lb lower mark) and best effort of present campaign when runner-up here in May. Latest C&D run best excused (stumbled and unseated soon after start) and no surprise to see her thereabouts.

Wade's Magic^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. 10/3, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 27 days ago, headed last ½f and keeping on. Consistency hard to knock and expected to feature back at the minimum trip.

Autumn Flight^b,e/s¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: I W McInnes| OR: 52| D

9/1

22/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon, folding having done plenty on the front end. Eyeshields back on and not out of things with conditions holding no fears.

The Spinmeister⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: T Collier| OR: 50

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, run best excused when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 8 days ago (hood slipped). Still, he needs to show much more before becoming of interest.

Form: 90-30

Ski Angel¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: R M Smith| OR: 49| D

9/2

Latest win at Hamilton (5f) in September. 11/2, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 15 days ago, staying on. Enters calculations.

Tommytwohoots^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Laura Pearson| T: S A Harris| OR: 45

11/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 8 days ago, ridden over 2f out and fading. Best effort of this campaign came over C&D back in the spring but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 620779

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J Parr| OR: 45

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap (66/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 83 days ago, plugging on without posing a threat. Much more needed dropped in trip.

Forecasts

Zoom Star (9/4), Wade's Magic (3/1), Ski Angel (9/2), Cubanista (17/2), Autumn Flight (9/1), Tommytwohoots (11/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (12/1), Mc's Wag (14/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (50/1), Keep It Hush (80/1), The Spinmeister (150/1)

A winner of this race on each of the last 2 years, ZOOM STAR's latest run is best overlooked (stumbled and unseated soon after the start), and arriving here just 1 lb above her last winning mark, it would come as no surprise to see Bryan Smart's mare firmly in the mix with conditions holding no fears. Ski Angel and Wade's Magic are a couple of others to consider.
