Lunatick²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 79| C

11/4

Unreliable individual. Course winner. Good second of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy, 9/4) 22 days ago. Can't be dismissed for all that he's not certain to be in the same form.

Form: 01320-2

Magical Merlin^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 78

10/1

9/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 17 days ago, finding little. May strip fitter for that and has the scope to do better as a 4yo.

Form: 42032-0

Twilight Dancer²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 75| CD

7/2

5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 28 days ago, pushed out. Should go well again.

Form: 328-361

(7)

Arctician^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 74| D

18/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 11/1) 20 days ago.

Form: 4-23364

Visibility³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| D

20/1

Unreliable individual. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 18/1) 30 days ago, very slowly away. Not discounted.

Form: 486885

Musical Mystery¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72| D

9/2

Good third of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1120-83

(9)

Falcon Nine¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher| T: C Fellowes| OR: 72

16/1

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/4), slowly away. Off 6 months. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Sir Michael Stoute. Remains with potential and can get involved if this test isn't too sharp for him.

Form: 475/444-

(10)

Fierce^b1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 71| BF

5/1

Only sixth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Windsor (6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should come on for that reappearance and blinkers go on for the first time, so no surprise if he makes his presence felt.

Form: 22140-6

(3)

King Of War^t²⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 69| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Won 7-runner handicap (15/2) at Chepstow (7.1f, good). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Forecasts

Lunatick (11/4), Twilight Dancer (7/2), Musical Mystery (9/2), Fierce (5/1), Magical Merlin (10/1), King Of War (11/1), Falcon Nine (16/1), Arctician (18/1), Visibility (20/1), Unsung Hero (25/1)

FIERCE shaped as if he'd strip fitter for his reappearance and, with blinkers on, he's worth taking a chance on from a handy mark. Recent C&D winner Twilight Dancer is an obvious danger and Falcon Nine has some potential starting out for a new yard.
