4/1

Made a promising start for his new yard (formerly with Ian Williams) after 6 months off when third of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Interesting.

Form: 310-433

In very good form this term and landed 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 72 days ago. Up 2 lb but still not taken lightly.

Form: 898-421

14/1

On a long losing run and he came in only ninth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others appeal more.

12/1

Won at Haydock (11.5f) last July but below par in a trio of outings this summer, tried in cheekpieces at Leicester last time. Needs to step forward.

14/1

Improved to land 10f handicap at Bath in June and backed it up with a solid third of 13 to Carp Kid at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Can go well again.

Form: 565413

Fair Dinkum^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mia Nicholls| T: J Scott| OR: 63

18/1

Back on the scoreboard when taking 13f AW handicap at Lingfield but below that form on turf when fifth of 7 at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Down in trip with more needed.

Form: 417-515

14/1

Course winner but he beat only one in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 40-0740

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie| T: W J Knight| OR: 67| D

13/2

Cheekpieces on for the first time when bagging 10f handicap at Yarmouth in July and not discredited when fourth over C&D 22 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Double Red³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Morgan Cole| T: H Candy| OR: 63

10/3

Saw his run of good form come to an end when eighth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 32 days ago. More is required now up in trip if he's to shed his maiden tag.

Form: 970-638

Forecasts

Double Red (10/3), Eagle Eyed Tom (4/1), Meleri (4/1), Snapcracklepop (6/1), Beach Point (13/2), Carp Kid (7/1), Typical Woman (12/1), Wonder Starelzaam (14/1), New Dayrell (14/1), Precision Storm (14/1), Fair Dinkum (18/1), Afta Party (40/1)

EAGLE EYED TOM shaped well after an absence for his new stable when third at Nottingham and can build on it here to defy the handily-weighted Beach Point. In-form duo Precision Storm and Snapcracklepop can both have a say too in this competitive handicap.
