Local Hero²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 88

9/4

Looked an exciting prospect when easy winner of 9-runner novice at Kempton (8f) in August, then seemed amiss in listed company at Doncaster next time. Worth a chance to get back to winning ways after 7 months off.

Toxic²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Spencer| CD

12/1

Once-raced winner. Won 9-runner maiden (8/1) at this course (9.5f) on debut 21 days ago, driven out. This demands more but she's open to improvement and can't be dismissed.

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 25/1) 23 days ago. Should do better at some point.

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in maiden (4/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 73 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not dismissed for all that he has a bit to find.

Grey Cuban¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 82| BF

1/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 16 in minor event at York (7f, heavy, 4/1), helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Gelded and off 6 months, looks a big player up in trip.

€24,000 yearling, Gregorian gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Inner Beauty. Not an obvious sort on paper.

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in minor event (13/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 129 days. Open to progress and worth monitoring in the betting on return.

Form: 73-

Forecasts

Grey Cuban (1/1), Local Hero (9/4), Malinka (10/1), Currumbin (12/1), Toxic (12/1), Sweet Painted Lady (20/1), Flashy Apache (22/1), Rock City Falls (28/1), Emerald City (80/1), Takes Time (100/1), Signature Blue (100/1), Master Toney (200/1)

LOCAL HERO was impressive on debut at Kempton, then wasn't right at Doncaster next time, so he's worth another chance to underline his potential back on AW after 7 months off. Grey Cuban is the obvious danger on form and Toxic can't be dismissed on the back of a winning debut in a lesser race.
