Captain Corelli^p1⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 60| D

33/1

Successful on 4 of his 5 starts on turf during 2024. No real rhythm to this year, albeit best excused the run having been badly hampered when last of 11 in handicap at Redcar (1m) in September. Cheekpieces go on now and he has fallen back down to last winning mark.

Heretic^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 59| CD

3/1

Steadily eased in the weights this year and confirmed more positive signs when landing brace of C&D handicaps last month. Expected to make his presence felt again up 3 lb in hat-trick bid.

Law Supreme^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Ian Williams| OR: 58| D

11/1

Sixteen runs since sole win in 2024. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/2) 24 days ago, folding. That was his first start for 3 months however, so better certainly not ruled out from further reduced mark.

Harswell Duke^t,p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 57| D

6/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2023. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, soft, 17/2) 15 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 655453

Borderline Madness²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: W Stone| OR: 57| D

9/2

Latest win at Lingfield in September. 7/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 24 days ago, plugging on. Needs to pull out a little more from revised mark.

Amber Honey^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 57

13/2

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in May and most consistent in defeat thereafter prior to finishing fifth of 8 in handicap back at that track/trip 24 days ago (racing keenly). Blinkers go back on now and no surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 622325

First Encounter^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 52| D

15/2

Latest win at Salisbury in July. Respectable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/1) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Makes tapeta debut.

Candle Of Time⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| BF

25/1

Maiden who produced her best effort of the year when a close-up third in handicap at Doncaster (1m) in July. Didn't quite scale same heights in pair of outings thereafter and since left Julie Camacho. Interesting what the market makes of her back from 2 months off.

Form: 5-40368

Happy Chandler^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: M Blake| OR: 50

16/1

Remains a maiden following 14 attempts but better signs of late from an easing mark, shaping better than bare result when sixth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and keeping on. One to bear in mind.

Form: 238556

Angel's Call²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 48

20/1

5/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 27 days ago, weakening final 1f. Significantly back up in trip now.

Form: 806738

Penny Ghent^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 47

28/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs but went closer than ever to breaking her duck when second of 14 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 40/1) 16 days ago, headed dying strides. Claims if she can back that up here.

Form: 775902

Masham Moor²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 46| CD

12/1

3-time C&D winner. Off 6 months prior to finishing a creditable 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Heretic in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 27 days ago, poorly placed the way the race was run but still encouraging with his finishing effort. Not out of things.

Form: 421784

Mighty Real^t⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 45

12/1

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/1) 70 days ago, keeping on. Not without each-way hope returning to this longer trip.

Forecasts

Heretic (3/1), Borderline Madness (9/2), Harswell Duke (6/1), Amber Honey (13/2), First Encounter (15/2), No Knee Never (10/1), Law Supreme (11/1), Masham Moor (12/1), Mighty Real (12/1), Happy Chandler (16/1), Angel's Call (20/1), Candle Of Time (25/1), Penny Ghent (28/1), Captain Corelli (33/1)

HAPPY CHANDLER remains a maiden following 14 attempts but he lines up here having shaped better than the bare result at Wolverhampton recently and, having fallen plenty in the weights, he could just be worth chancing. Amber Honey in refitted blinkers and the hat-trick seeking Heretic are just 2 others fancied to be in the thick of things.
