10/3

Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 30 days ago. Maiden but hard to knock his consistency.

11/2

Cheekpieces on for first time, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 8/1) 14 days ago. Looks to have found his level.

Form: 309593

18/1

Eight Mile^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 60| BF

15/2

Back-to-back winner last summer and fitted with blinkers, he returned to form when second of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 15 days ago, despite being slowly away. Expected to be bang there from stall 1.

Form: 545532

10/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/3) 21 days ago. Eased further 2 lb but more is still needed.

Form: 475-845

(8)

Mizuumi²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 61| C

13/2

Course winner. 7/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Can give a good account with her AW profile more compelling than turf.

Form: 454653

(11)

Katie G^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 59

18/1

Latest win at Southwell in August. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 4/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she's likely to give it another good go for all stall 11 may not be ideal.

Form: 485134

(3)

Grecian God¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 58| D

11/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in August. Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, though that run can be excused given he was posted wide and failed to settle as a result.

Form: 533419

Takeover Target^b1¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: P Phelan| OR: 57

Form: 667-673

(4)

Help Me Rhonda¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 56| BF

4/1

Hooded for first time, first run since leaving J. A. Stack when respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/4) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and may have more to offer for this yard.

Form: 643366

(12)

Portoro^t¹²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 51

33/1

Tongue strap on for first time, good second of 12 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 121 days and he's down markedly in trip minus usual hood.

Form: 58-9682

(7)

Purple Poppy¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: S Hitchcott| T: J C Fox| OR: 45| D

28/1

Fifteen runs since sole win in 2023. 4/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive from just out of the weights.

Form: 508463

Forecasts

God Bless America (10/3), Help Me Rhonda (4/1), Faster Bee (11/2), Mizuumi (13/2), Eight Mile (15/2), Zinchenko (10/1), Grecian God (11/1), Bated Breeze (16/1), Katie G (18/1), Celtic John (18/1), Purple Poppy (28/1), Portoro (33/1), Takeover Target (40/1)

EIGHT MILE will need to break better than he did last time to make use of stall 1 but in the hope he manages that, he looks weighted to strike. Help Me Rhonda should have more to offer for new connections so goes on the shortlist, along with Katie G.
