Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 74| D

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Marcelino Rodrigues⁽⁷⁾| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 74

11/1

First run since leaving Amy Murphy when a creditable fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good, 4/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account.

Form: 2125-35

(6)

Tempest Star¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 73

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Ger Lyons when a fair sixth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 28/1) 18 days ago. Much respected on her handicap debut.

Form: 238-6

(7)

Rogue Bullet^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Jack Jones| OR: 73| BF

18/1

Form: 5725-15

(4)

Diomed Duke^t²²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 72

5/1

Bath maiden winner in August and not disgraced when seventh of 18 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in October. Possibilities on his return.

Form: 53167-

(9)

Another Abbot^t²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70

9/5

Promising Harry Angel gelding who advanced his form when third of 8 in novice over C&D (soft) 6 months ago. No surprise to see him take a step forward now going into handicaps. Player.

Form: 483-

(2)

Style King¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Aidan Keeley| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 69

13/2

Much improved for his new yard when second at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in April but only eleventh of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Worth another chance.

Form: 887-20

(10)

Forager⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 68| D

28/1

Won at Beverley last July but she beat only two in 5f Windsor handicap on her seasonal return. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 30524-8

Forecasts

Another Abbot (9/5), Diomed Duke (5/1), Style King (13/2), Cressida Wildes (15/2), Nightbird (17/2), Invincible Crown (10/1), Fiorella Princess (11/1), Rogue Bullet (18/1), Forager (28/1), Tempest Star (33/1)

This could go the way of ANOTHER ABBOT who went with some promise as a juvenile and appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company for his in-form yard. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Nightbird rates the chief threat with the handily-weighted duo Style King and Invincible Crown also firmly in the reckoning.
