Penelope Valentine^v⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 65| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner in September. 4/1 and blinkered first time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Enters calculations.

Form: 663143

(8)

Sands Of Havana¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 64

11/1

Failed to build on debut third for Ollie Sangster. Changed hands for 10,000 gns after finishing last of 9 at Yarmouth in April. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations on return for new yard.

Form: 305-459

(1)

Groundsman^p³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64| CD

8/1

Career best when winning 10-runner C&D handicap 34 days ago, making all. Subsequently left Richard Fahey. Well drawn to attack on first outing for a new yard.

Form: 468651

(5)

Miakoda^v,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 62| D

13/2

Three wins from 17 runs this year, the latest at Brighton (7f) in August. Needs to shrug off below-par efforts last twice.

Form: 121450

(4)

Amor Cordis^b,t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 61

6/1

Bit below form when seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (1m) 23 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 454367

(6)

Kaleidoscope Eyes²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 58| CD

40/1

C&D winner in January. Career best when back to winning way in 7-runner handicap at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy, 20/1) 22 days ago. Should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.

Form: 748631

(10)

Blue Empress^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 58| BF

15/2

10/3, good second of 12 to Diligent Harry (due to run in previous race) over C&D 14 days ago. Sure to go well if in similar form.

Form: 074852

(3)

Bantz²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 57| D

40/1

Turf win in April but has largely been below par of late.

Form: 299588

(2)

Mwafaq^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| CD

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner C&D handicap 4 days ago, readily pulling 2 lengths clear under Ethan Tindall. A 6 lb rise may not stop him.

Form: 645601

(7)

Latona^h,p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

40/1

Modest maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 13 days ago.

Form: 555594

Forecasts

Penelope Valentine (5/2), Mwafaq (7/2), Amor Cordis (6/1), Miakoda (13/2), Blue Empress (15/2), Groundsman (8/1), Sands Of Havana (11/1), Latona (40/1), Kaleidoscope Eyes (40/1), Bantz (40/1)

MWAFAQ came good in clearcut fashion here under Ethan Tindall a fortnight ago and might be able to cope with a 6 lb rise. Blue Empress, Penelope Valentine and the selection's former stablemate Groundsman are others to consider.
