Off time: 17:24 | Winning time: 1m 26.74s

High On Hope^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 77

7/2

A fairly useful performer who arrives in good nick, seeming unsuited by the turning track when a close eighth of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 59-2238

Miss Collada¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| D

22/1

Bagged her third win of 2024 at Kempton in November but yet to fire in two runs this term, eighth of 10 in handicap there (6f) 17 days ago. Has it to prove now.

Form: 3319-68

Mystical Storm²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| BF

7/2

Harry Angel colt shaped very well on his return when third of 8 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, travelling strongly long way until lack of a run told late on. Goes into handicaps with more to offer. Interesting.

Form: 33-3

(11)

Soldiers Star¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 76| D

12/1

Got off the mark in 7f Kempton handicap in March but came in last of 9 at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

Form: 23-3159

(7)

Suhub²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76

13/2

Daughter of Mohaaather has made the frame on all her three runs, going well to 1f out when third of 12 in 1m novice at Kempton in October. No surpirse to see her take a sizeable step forward dropped back in trip now handicapping. A likely player.

Form: 423-

Organ³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: M Meade| OR: 76

10/3

Fair maiden who resumed from 9 months off with an excellent third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Not taken lightly off the same mark.

Form: 475-3

(8)

Bear Kode^p²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| D

50/1

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in July but well held all three starts since, albeit facing a stiff task at York (7f) final start. Could still do better on his handicap bow.

Form: 21000-

(10)

Ran Amok^t²⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: H Palmer| OR: 74

22/1

Opened his account at Chepstow (6f) in June but failed to build on it after at Windsor and the Curragh. Since gelded and more is needed now he ventures into handicap company.

Form: 5190-

(2)

Kamekist¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| BF

14/1

Improved when winning 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in April but only eighth on his turf debut in similar company at Windsor 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 0-2318

(1)

Invitorio²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 74

17/2

A fair 6f juvenile winner but he failed to build on reappearance promise when just eighth at Southwell on his AW debut 25 days ago. Shouldn't be written off back on turf.

Form: 731-48

(9)

Titian Blue²⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 72

16/1

Showed fair form on her first three runs but signed off for William Haggas by beating only one on her nursery debut at Doncaster in October. Needs to hit the ground running for her new yard on her seasonal return.

Form: 2629-

Forecasts

Organ (10/3), High On Hope (7/2), Mystical Storm (7/2), Suhub (13/2), Invitorio (17/2), Soldiers Star (12/1), Scatter Penny (12/1), Kamekist (14/1), Titian Blue (16/1), Miss Collada (22/1), Ran Amok (22/1), Bear Kode (50/1)

MYSTICAL STORM really caught the eye when a strong-travelling third at Redcar on his reappearance so looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards now handicapping. Organ also shaped well on his return when occupying the same spot at Newmarket and rates a big threat though, while Willie Haggas' Suhub is another with better days ahead who can have a say. High On Hope and Invitorio complete the shortlist in a cracking contest.
