Bint Havana Gold^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 65| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 37 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Jacquelina¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 63

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) 17 days ago. Strike rate on the AW isn't great (1-17), but she's nevertheless dangerous to discount off a fair mark.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: Jack Morland| OR: 62| D

5/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/2) 8 days ago. Has slipped to a dangerous mark and couldn't rule out.

Form: 3-06942

Massimo Blue^t⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 63| D

Hooded for 1st time/tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 50/1) 62 days ago. Needs to get back on track on debut for new yard.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: P S McEntee| OR: 62| C

14/1

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, soft) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 61| BF| C| D

16/5

Course winner. Latest win here in August. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 18/5) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. On a fair mark and he's one to consider back at 6f.

Clover Time^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

7/1

17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 260-982

Sir Rodneyredblood^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 60| CD

12/1

Three-time C&D winner. Good second of 9 in handicap at this course (5f, 8/1) 21 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and he should be on the premises once more.

Alafdhal^p¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: P S McEntee| OR: 57| CD

28/1

Four-time C&D winner. 14/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 178 days. Cheekpieces back on and he needs to bounce back.

Form: 652650

Profit Street¹⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 56

11/2

Dual winner at Newcastle. Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 165 days ago. Sold from Nigel Tinkler 14,000 gns and has joined a yard that does extremely well with similar types. Very interesting on polytrack debut.

Early Release¹⁴

T: P D Evans J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Early Release (5/2), Rusheen Boy (16/5), Bint Havana Gold (9/2), Wallop (5/1), Profit Street (11/2), Clover Time (7/1), Massimo Blue (8/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (12/1), Court Of Session (14/1), Alafdhal (28/1), Jacquelina (40/1)

The vote goes to PROFIT STREET, who makes his debut for the ultra-shrewd James Owen yard on a mark 8 lb below that of his most recent success last summer. It will certainly look significant if there is confidence behind this 4-y-o in the betting. Rusheen Boy is second choice ahead of Jacquelina, while Early Release has to be taken seriously on the back of his recent Kempton victory, for all that he's unlikely to benefit from a soft lead this time.
