11/2

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest gained here in July. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 18 days ago. One or two of these are more appealing.

Form: 1-44114

Tea Sea^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| D

6/4

Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 4/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers back on. 0-5 on turf, but has finished in the money on 3 of his 4 starts round here and he merits respect.

15/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 2/1) 4 days ago, never nearer. Could have a part to play.

Poetic Force¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

7/2

11/2, won 8-runner handicap at this course (8f, good) 12 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and, like stablemate Tea Sea, he should make his presence felt.

Dandy G Boy²⁸

7/2

First run since leaving Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/8) 28 days ago. 3 lb rise no great hardship and another big run on the cards.

Forecasts

Tea Sea (6/4), Poetic Force (7/2), Dandy G Boy (7/2), H Key Lails (11/2), Gone Rogue (6/1), B Associates (15/2)

DANDY G BOY made a winning start for this yard at Wolverhampton last month and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from making it 2-2 for Warren Greatrex. That said, none of his five rivals can be safely discounted, with Tea Sea and Gone Rogue expected to emerge as the most dangerous of them.
