13/2

One win from 25 Flat runs. Third of 5 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago, keeping on under tender handling. Cheekpieces go on and he's on a tempting mark these days.

Mujid^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 60| BF

10/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, latterly at Ffos Las in July. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, soft, 7/2) 11 days ago and he's likely to give it another good shot.

Form: 614143

Dovena³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 59

4/1

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm, 22/1) 31 days ago, nearest finish. Others more persuasive with this slight drop in trip a potential negative.

22/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 7/2) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces back on and interesting if that combination can unlock a bit more.

10/3

8-time course winner. Latest win here in July. 5/2, respectable 5 lengths third of 9 to Ladypacksapunch in handicap at this course (11.6f, firm) 15 days ago. Step back up in trip will help his cause and he has plenty in his favour.

Ladypacksapunch^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 50| C

13/2

Improved on recent efforts to finally break maiden tag in 9-runner handicap at this course (11.6f, firm, 15/2) 15 days ago. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Form: 9-99821

(6)

Miss Raindrop¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45

100/1

Seventh of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 150/1). Off 152 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Tracy Waggott. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 44506-7

Forecasts

Blue Hero (10/3), Dovena (4/1), Dynamiste (11/2), Buxted Reel (13/2), Ladypacksapunch (13/2), Mujid (10/1), Spitfire Bridge (11/1), Hidden Pearl (14/1), Gallimimus (22/1), Hot Team (25/1), Miss Raindrop (100/1)

Course specialist BLUE HERO should be well served by this step back up in trip so gets the nod in favour of Ladypacksapunch, who finally got off the mark here last time and Dynamiste, who takes a slight drop in class.
