Keep Talking²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: J S Moore| OR: 55

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 200/1) 24 days ago. Improvement isn't out of the question now pitched into a low-grade handicap, but it will certainly be needed if she's to play a part in the finish here.

Form: 986

Toota^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| BF

13/8

11/4, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Consistent without being progressive, but the ability to win a race or two is undoubtedly there and this has the look of a good opportunity.

Form: 33-7223

(9)

Currahee¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 55

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 15/2) when last seen 122 days ago. Significantly back down in trip on debut for new yard and it'll be interesting to see if support arrives.

Form: 960-57

(7)

All Too Beautiful²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: R A Teal| OR: 53

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good) 24 days ago, hampered. Others make more appeal.

Form: 58-727

(2)

My Boy Harry¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: J & S Best| OR: 52| D

11/4

Winner at Brighton in June. Creditable third of 8 in minor event at the same course (6f, good to firm, 18/5) 16 days ago. Shade more needed off this mark back in handicap company, but booking of Tom Marquand is a plus and he's clearly in good nick.

Form: 444213

Cider Bob^t,p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

28/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 9/1) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and tongue strap refitted. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 7-47036

(5)

Jimmy Henry^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 45

12/1

22/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, firm) 27 days ago and it's likely that he will come up short once again.

Form: 0-65465

Forecasts

Toota (13/8), My Boy Harry (11/4), Currahee (10/3), No Gain (9/2), All Too Beautiful (9/1), Doctor Dauila (10/1), Jimmy Henry (12/1), Keep Talking (28/1), Cider Bob (28/1)

TOOTA has been threatening to come good and she has been found a suitable opening here. Though Currahee has yet to trouble the judge, he has shown signs of ability and is interesting on debut for the Stuart Williams yard, while My Boy Harry and No Gain, a winner in Jersey last month, are others to consider.
