Macari¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Rose Dawes⁽³⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 69

10/1

Modest hurdle winner. Ran to a similar level in 3 maiden/novice events on the Flat last month but stands a more realistic chance now handicapping.

Form: 554

(6)

Sophosc³⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

40/1

Potentially well handicapped but hasn't been seen for 12 months. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations for a yard also responsible for Saint Riquier.

Form: 1/60704-

Saint Riquier¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Joe Leavy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67

5/2

Fairly useful jumps winner who made a positive return from a long absence last month, building on Sandown third to win Lingfield (AW) handicap 10 days ago.

Form: 1359/31

Fillyfudge^v²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke Catton| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66| D

10/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth (1¼m) in July. 10/1, good fourth of 9 in handicap back there 22 days ago. Should play a part again.

Form: 6-18414

(7)

Upepo²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

20/1

Had a good spell on AW earlier in the year, winning twice at up to 13f. Below par back from a break at Southwell last month, though, and this trip possibly a bit on the short side.

Form: 123300

(8)

Awtaad Prince^h,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Frederick Larson| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 62| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Off 4 months, only tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Bounce back needed.

Form: 813390

Fougere^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| BF| D

10/3

Winner at Nottingham (1¼m) in July. 2/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can make presence felt.

Form: 225712

(2)

Mariner²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 66

20/1

Runner-up twice in June, latterly over C&D. Not in the same form the last twice so needs a return to this venue to help spark a revival.

Form: 442257

(9)

Swinging London^t,p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate| T: J Mackie| OR: 60

33/1

Well below par on his last 3 outings, the latest at Southwell only 11 days ago.

Form: 442697

(5)

Double Red^p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Morgan Cole⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 62| BF

10/3

Still looking for his first success, but fared best of the rest behind a wide-margin winner when second of 11 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 25 days ago. No forlorn hope with cheekpieces added.

Form: 70-6382

Forecasts

Saint Riquier (5/2), Fougere (10/3), Double Red (10/3), Macari (10/1), Fillyfudge (10/1), Awtaad Prince (12/1), Upepo (20/1), Mariner (20/1), Swinging London (33/1), Sophosc (40/1)

FOUGERE has a win and close second to her name since fitted with a hood and can get her head back in front here. Fillyfudge is another who has reacted well to headgear in recent starts and can give Dean Ivory's filly most to do ahead of Saint Riquier and Double Red.
