Dakota Power²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 71

16/1

Latest win at Ffos Las in August. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Drops back in grade now and is likely to be on the premises.

Form: 506137

Makes Sense²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

18/1

Shaped well on his first two starts, notably on debut and, while he's yet to build on that, this step up in trip should be in his favour starting out in handicaps, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 2243

Sixfiveseven^b,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 69

12/1

Fairly treated and back to form when runner-up at Brighton recently. Can get involved if he's able to back that up.

Form: 32/502

Optiva Star^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Wallis| OR: 69| D

14/1

Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, heavy, 12/1) 15 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Well treated on his best form and can't be ruled out.

Form: 030663

Woodleigh⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 70

16/1

Winner at Ripon in May. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Thirsk (7f, good) 46 days ago. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Form: 351366

Dembe⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Pearce| OR: 68| D

5/1

Relished the return to AW when overcoming a pace bias to land a 9-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 42 days ago. Clearly well treated on this surface but serious reservations as to whether he's as effective.

Form: 275081

Buy The Dip⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 67| D

5/1

Latest win at Lingfield in June. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 86 days ago. Holding form well when last seen and fancied to return with another solid showing.

Form: 114333

(14)

Fihrayn¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

9/1

Generally respectable efforts prior to a tame effort at Windsor last time, possibly unsuited by the testing conditions. Could bounce back.

Form: 602460

Grovely Belle^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 65

12/1

Stepped forward on previous efforts when third in a novice at Redcar last time but handicapper hasn't taken any chances with opening mark.

Form: 473

(8)

Claxton Bay³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| D

11/4

Going the right way of late and produced another likeable display when making all at Beverley last time. Should put up another bold showing.

Form: 588321

(7)

Dazitoo²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: E Walker| OR: 63

9/1

Lightly raced maiden who is yet to better modest form, only seventh in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 56377

(13)

Obee Jo^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

25/1

Struggling for form at present and others look more persuasive.

Form: 937698

(5)

Bo Taifan¹⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 55| D

33/1

33/1, ran creditably after just 4 days off when fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft). Has left Denis Quinn and been off five months since, so worth a market check.

Form: 619-954

(6)

Heer's Sadie²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: C R Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46

80/1

Has been out of sorts for a while and failed to fire at Brighton again last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 755355

Forecasts

Claxton Bay (11/4), Dembe (5/1), Buy The Dip (5/1), Fihrayn (9/1), Dazitoo (9/1), Sixfiveseven (12/1), Grovely Belle (12/1), Optiva Star (14/1), Dakota Power (16/1), Woodleigh (16/1), Makes Sense (18/1), Obee Jo (25/1), Bo Taifan (33/1), Heer's Sadie (80/1)

CLAXTON BAY has been bang in form lately and, while this is a step up in grade, he's fancied to put up another bold showing. Dembe is an obvious threat in that he scored off the same mark at Kempton last time, but he's seemingly not as effective on turf. Buy The Dip should give another good account.
