Always Fearless^b³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 67| D

33/1

Bounced back to form to win 12-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 29 days ago, overcoming the widest stall with something to spare. Latest effort easily excused having reported to have an irregular heartbeat.

Mercurius Power^t,p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Capitalised on a slight drop in grade when winning over C&D in August. Not in the same form at Doncaster 11 days ago but may bounce back.

Form: 454419

Motagally^b³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 63

18/1

Unreliable sort who is on a long losing run but turned in his best effort of the season when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 31 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 89-7584

Unassuming^t¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: G Boughey| OR: 63

9/2

Showed some promise on debut but well held both starts this year. Has left Joseph Patrick O'Brien ahead of handicap debut. One to watch in the betting.

Form: 5-06

My Honey B⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

14/1

C&D winner who failed by a long way to build on the promise of last run when well held at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 64 days ago.

Form: 90-6820

Persian Phoenix²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 63

7/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal in a strongly-run race. Better judged on previous form and one to consider.

Cuban Fiesta⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Wigham| OR: 62

4/1

Gambled on and ran well on first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when second of 8 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 9 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts again.

Form: 6-30962

The Ferret²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 61| D

18/1

Seems to have gone off the boil, only sixth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do.

Triple Force¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S A Gray| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 58

11/2

Fair maiden who ran a bit below form when fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago. Had been shaping up reasonably well prior to that, so worth another chance.

Forecasts

Persian Phoenix (7/2), Cuban Fiesta (4/1), Unassuming (9/2), Triple Force (11/2), Mercurius Power (11/2), My Honey B (14/1), Motagally (18/1), The Ferret (18/1), Global Resolve (20/1), Thanks Dad (25/1), Always Fearless (33/1)

CUBAN FIESTA was seen off only by one in top form on his yard debut at Newcastle last week, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Persian Phoenix is better judged on his previous form having made his effort earlier than ideal in a strongly-run race at Chelmsford on his most recent outing, while Triple Force had been shaping up well prior to his latest effort and is another to consider.
