Willem Twee⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 93| D

2/1

Enjoyed a productive and progressive campaign at 3 yrs but shaped as if needing the run after 11 months off when last of 11 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 53 days ago. Mark looks fair if able to build on that.

Form: 11D72-0

7/1

Three wins from 14 runs this year. 11/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, heavy) 27 days ago. Better on all-weather and he can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Watchya⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 89| D

15/2

In first-time blinkers, twenty fifth of 27 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy, 100/1) 88 days ago. Conditions there provide a valid excuse but others possess more convincing overall profiles.

Form: 40-5450

Gisburn¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

17/2

Exploited a drop in grade and turned in his best effort of the season to land 11-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 60-4001

Baldomero¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 88| C

16/1

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm). Off 151 days. Placed twice on AW in the spring.

Minnetonka¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

12/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Stiff task when 8¾ lengths eleventh of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft, 22/1) 18 days ago. Bit more needed from career-high mark.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| BF| D

10/1

Ungenuine type. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, heavy, 10/3) 20 days ago, running on. Makes polytrack debut. Visor on 1st time. Capable of popping up from this sort of mark but whether he'll be in the mood is anyone's guess.

Leap Abroad^b1,t¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 85| BF| D

22/1

Won his final 2 starts last season and produced several good efforts in defeat in the spring. Player if back to that form despite wide draw, with blinkers applied after a 147-day break.

Form: 11-4446

Buccabay¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 83| D

10/3

Career-best when winning at Bath in September and ran at least as well when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Willem Twee (2/1), Buccabay (10/3), Spangled Mac (5/1), Justcallmepete (7/1), Watchya (15/2), Treacherous (15/2), Gisburn (17/2), Admiral D (10/1), Minnetonka (12/1), Baldomero (16/1), Leap Abroad (22/1), Rousing Encore (33/1)

GISBURN bounced back to form after being gelded when scoring on soft ground at Goodwood midway through last month and appeals as still well treated on his old form, so gets the nod ahead of Spangled Mac, whose Newbury win reads well and is just as effective at 6f. Buccabay is going through a good spell at present and can again make the placings over C&D.
