Dion Baker^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 62| D

7/1

Successful at Brighton in May but hasn't been able to match that form since, well held upped in grade when last of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 25/1) 17 days ago. Drop back to this level should help, though.

Form: 154730

Yoshimi^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 60| CD

5/1

C&D winner. However, he's yet to fire so far this season, ninth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but others more persuasive at present.

Form: 066409

Lady Wingalong¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: P D Evans| OR: 60| BF| D

7/4

Doubled her tally at Salisbury in July. Wasn't able to land the odds (8/13) under a penalty but continued in good heart when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Leading contender.

Form: 422213

Too Much Trevor^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

12/1

Failed to build on promise of previous run when eighth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Epsom (7f, good) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Bounce back called for.

Form: 0-38538

Beguiling⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

33/1

Modest form in her qualifying runs but ran poorly making her handicap debut when ninth of 10 at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 18/1) 55 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 6-469

Autumn Angel⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

25/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Ran better than on her previous start without getting back to form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy, 15/2) in May. Lurks on a dangerous mark returning from a break.

Form: 887306

Baulac²⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53

28/1

Wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (7f) when last seen in December, denied a clear run 1f out. Has something to find as he looks for his first victory after 8 months off.

Form: 575648-

Storm Asset¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D Shaw| OR: 46| D

66/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Has been struggling for form of late, ninth of 11 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 12 days ago. Others preferred back in handicap company.

Form: 722809

Ajrad¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 46| D

5/1

After 4 months off, wasn't discredited on first run since leaving Michael Attwater when 7 lengths fourth of 13 to Lady Wingalong in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 18 days ago. Task is to build on his latest effort.

Form: 107674

Available Angel^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: J Mackie| OR: 46

15/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. However, turned in her best effort of the season when second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 12 days ago. Enters calculations from her current mark.

Form: 0-66702

Forecasts

Lady Wingalong (7/4), Ajrad (5/1), Yoshimi (5/1), Asmund (6/1), Dion Baker (7/1), Available Angel (15/2), Too Much Trevor (12/1), Autumn Angel (25/1), Baulac (28/1), Beguiling (33/1), Storm Asset (66/1)

LADY WINGALONG has shown improved form for her current yard this season, just run out of things late on when third at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, so she looks to hold leading claims of resuming winning ways. The biggest threat could come from Asmund, who was successful here on his penultimate start, with Available Angel also considered.
