Calvert²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R A Teal| OR: 74

9/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023 but has mostly performed with credit in defeat this season. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Trojan Sun^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| D

5/1

All 4 wins at Musselburgh, the latest when just holding on over 2m 10 days ago. Penalised 5 lb for that and needs to show he can do it at other venues.

Ruler Legend¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 69

16/1

66/1, second outing for Declan Carroll when 2¼ lengths second of 5 to Action Pact in handicap at Pontefract ( 2¼m, soft) 17 days ago. Same mark here but this is a deeper race.

Form: 99/4-602

Action Pact¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| D

9/4

Steadily improving in handicaps, coming good at Pontefract (2¼m, soft) 17 days ago at the expense of the re-opposing Ruler Legend. A 3 lb nudge form the handicapper shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Form: 787231

Majestic Leo^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gina Mangan| T: G Brown| OR: 74

150/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Ralph Beckett. Pulled up in 2 juvenile hurdles at Fontwell since joining Gary Brown and returns to the Flat with something to prove.

Form: 03-95

(4)

Ashdown Forest²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 70

10/3

Fair maiden. Creditable third of 6 on handicap debut at Haydock. Steps up a further 4f in trip now. The least exposed in the line-up.

Form: 2-633

(6)

Both Of Us^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 68

10/3

Third success of a productive autumn when comfortably seeing off 8 rivals at Newcastle 14 days ago on his first attempt at 2m. Raised another 6 lb but he's very much unexposed as a stayer.

Form: 411221

(5)

Young Merlin^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: R Menzies| OR: 56

14/1

Placed in staying handicaps on first 2 outings for Rebecca Menzies but latest Ayr fifth was no more than respectable. Others are preferred for win purposes.

Form: 226-235

Forecasts

Action Pact (9/4), Ashdown Forest (10/3), Both Of Us (10/3), Trojan Sun (5/1), Rupert The Prince (11/2), Calvert (9/1), Young Merlin (14/1), Ruler Legend (16/1), Bashful Boy (16/1), Majestic Leo (150/1)

ACTION PACT continued his steady progress when off the mark over 2¼m in the mud at Pontefract recently and a 3 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Both of Us and Rupert The Prince are other staying handicappers heading in the right direction and may give the selection most to think about.
