Shihoku^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: James Owen| OR: 85

18/5

66/1, last of 9 in minor event at Ascot (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this tapeta debut and tongue strap refitted. Interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting on first run for the James Own yard (also represented by High Court Judge).

Form: 2/21089

Likealot^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

5/2

Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good, 5/2) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 632262

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy| OR: 83| C| D

4/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in August. 28/1, good eighth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good) 53 days ago. Couldn't rule out.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 78| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 7 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Kempton (16f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 450018

Civil Law²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: R A Teal| OR: 76| C

7/1

5-time course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 29 days ago, nearest finish. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 967604

Solarize¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Johnston| OR: 80

3/1

Thrice-raced winner. 9/1, won 5-runner novice at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago, forging clear. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and this colt should have more to offer.

Form: 531

Clockmaker^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75

25/1

Ungenuine type. Winner at Doncaster in May. 12/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 3-15495

Forecasts

Likealot (5/2), Solarize (3/1), Shihoku (18/5), Manara (4/1), Civil Law (7/1), High Court Judge (25/1), Clockmaker (25/1)

SOLARIZE only made his debut last month but he has quickly got the hang of things, opening his account at the third attempt in good style over 1¼m at Chelmsford 12 days ago. The Masar colt has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut and stepping back up in trip here can help unlock further improvement. Likealot has been knocking on the door and she rates the main danger ahead of Civil Law.
