Mademoiselle⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 86| D

18/1

A dual 5f scorer in 2024 but she failed to build on reappearance Goodwood second when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft) in June on her final run for George Scott. Not written off after a break for her new yard.

Form: 4311-20

Lil Guff^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 84| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner who confirmed herself as good as ever when resuming winning ways at Bath (5f) in April. Solid efforts in defeat next 3 starts and whilst she produced a rare below-par display at Newbury 2 weeks back, she's very much the type to bounce back (yet to finish out the frame here).

Form: 4-15238

Blind Beggar^v²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 83| CD

13/2

Took advantage of a reduced mark when ending losing run over C&D in July and ran creditably from 5 lb higher when third at Thirsk next time. Latest Chepstow run was underwhelming and widest draw to work from doesn't make things easy now starting out for new stable.

Form: 393138

Woolhampton¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: B R Millman| OR: 83| D

5/4

Had a highly-productive 2024, winning 4 times and in much better form than recent form figures suggest prior to coming in ninth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good, 10/1) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, she needs considering having slipped to a very handy mark.

Form: 500669

End Of Story³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 84| D

6/1

Signed off his 2-y-o season for Kevin Ryan with success at York (5f) in October and more to glean from opening 2 starts for new stable when eighth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Fallen back down to last winning mark ahead of this.

Form: 201-608

(7)

Moe's Legacy^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: R Harris| OR: 76| D

12/1

Thriving filly who made it 4 wins from her last 5 starts and proved better than ever in the process when landing 5-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 14 days ago. This step up in class from 5 lb higher asks for more, however.

Form: 411131

Star Chorus^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 75| D

9/1

Seemingly benefited from application of first-time tongue strap when adding to tally in 4-runner handicap at Chepstow (5f) in July. Subsequent Goodwood run best overlooked but there appeared no obvious excuses when sixth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (5.2f) 14 days ago. Usual hood discarded now.

Forecasts

Woolhampton (5/4), Another Abbot (11/4), Lil Guff (9/2), End Of Story (6/1), King Of Stars (6/1), Moulin Booj (6/1), Emeralds Pride (6/1), Blind Beggar (13/2), Aces Wild (8/1), Star Chorus (9/1), Spring Bloom (10/1), Moe's Legacy (12/1), Mademoiselle (18/1), Distant Rumble (20/1)

Unsurprisingly lots with chances but the manner of ANOTHER ABBOT's Brighton Bullet success suggests William Haggas' well-bred 3-y-o hasn't yet finished improving and he may well be up to defying the handicapper once more. Woolhampton is lurking on a handy mark and feared, along with recent eyecatchers Aces Wild and Emeralds Pride. Lil Guff is yet to finish out of the frame here and also commands respect.
