Tonal⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55| CD

11/10

15/8, career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap under Billy Loughnane 6 days ago. A 6 lb penalty may not stop him.

Form: 78-9341

Mc'ted²⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 58

25/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract when last seen in June. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 8 months off.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J Gallagher| OR: 58| CD

66/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Ninth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (7f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Calshot Spit¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 54

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11f, 14/1) 17 days ago, met some trouble.

Form: 97-566

(2)

Enzos Angel^t¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 51

10/3

9/2, fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) when last seen in August. Significantly back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Form: 0/65765-

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A McCann| OR: 45| BF

Forecasts

Tonal (11/10), Enzos Angel (10/3), Muhalhel (4/1), Strategic Fortune (10/1), Portoro (16/1), Stintino Sunset (18/1), Calshot Spit (20/1), Waleyfa (22/1), Mc'ted (25/1), Point Of Fact (33/1), Rivas Rob Roy (66/1)

The unexposed TONAL had a bit in hand over C&D last week and can defy the penalty under Billy Loughnane. The Hollie Doyle-ridden Muhalhel was a good second over a slightly shorter trip here last time and is feared most ahead of John Butler's Strategic Fortune.
