Thahab Ifraj¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 57

28/1

Recorded a respectable second on seasonal return in a C&D handicap in June. Similar form without threatening when seventh at Ffos Las next time but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over hurdles at Worcester last month.

Form: 08/37-27

Calshot Spit¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 56

9/4

Deservedly opened his account following a strong of consistent efforts at Lingfield (13f) 2 starts back and again ran well when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 18 days ago. Likely player again returned to the level.

Tigerten^p⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 55

15/2

Hawk Jet¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 54

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fit from hurdling ran creditably when third of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip and she's worth a second look.

Form: 53242-3

Taxiing^t,v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: P D Evans| OR: 54

18/1

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm, 16/1) 15 days ago, rallying over 1f out. Return to this stiffer test in her favour now.

Form: 425774

Longuerue¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery| OR: 53

22/1

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 18 days ago, never better than midfield. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 674P18

(2)

Humaniste^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 51

8/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2018. Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 9 to Triple Nickle in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) 16 days ago, staying on final 1f. Likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 03-6433

(5)

Triple Nickle^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Aidan Keeley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 49

9/1

Finished runner-up on 3 of his 4 previous starts and, faced with more testing conditions, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) 16 days ago. Should give another good account up just 2 lb.

Form: 365621

Robeam³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| D

66/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm, 100/1) 39 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Not sure to be in same form here.

Form: 6007-72

Harry The Norseman^p⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: L Allan| OR: 45| C

80/1

Course winner. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (125/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 53 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 800/0-90

(15)

Amongst The Stars¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 50

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, took another small step forward when second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Possible he could yet have more to offer now stamina is tested further and she's one to consider.

Form: 04542

(3)

Surfer Dude¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: S Hodgson| OR: 45

33/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 14 days ago, weakening final 1f. More needed stepping up further in trip.

Form: 49-5465

(14)

White Coco^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: George Rooke| T: D M Simcock| OR: 45

22/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts

Calshot Spit (9/4), Amongst The Stars (7/2), Hawk Jet (6/1), Tigerten (15/2), Humaniste (8/1), Triple Nickle (9/1), Home And Dry (10/1), Taxiing (18/1), Blenheim Lad (20/1), Longuerue (22/1), White Coco (22/1), Thahab Ifraj (28/1), Surfer Dude (33/1), Robeam (66/1), Harry The Norseman (80/1)

Having deservedly opened his account from the front at Lingfield on his penultimate start, CALSHOT SPIT again ran well when runner-up over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip, he's expected to play a lead role once more back in this sphere. Amongst The Stars likely has more to offer from her lowly mark and is feared along with Hawk Jet. Ffos Las scorer Triple Nickle is another worth a second look.
