12/1

Placed at Musselburgh and Ayr before winning twice in last three starts over longer trips, latterly in a field of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5/1) over 18f on heavy going 40 days ago, showing toughness. Dropping significantly in trip today but has shown versatility at different distances.

Haveyoumissedme²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 75| CD

12/1

Has shown form on both turf and AW with 2 course wins including once at this distance. Won a 7-runner handicap at Redcar (28/1) 28 days ago, benefiting from handicapper's leniency after contesting a stronger race at York. Should be competitive following that return to winning form.

Form: 516-601

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney| T: A Keatley| OR: 75| D

9/2

Showed much-improved form when runner-up at this C&D 54 days ago but fell a long way short when 11th of 13 at Southwell (4/1) 29 days ago. First-time blinkers may help.

Miners Gamble²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

4/1

Versatile sort who was runner-up over 10f at this course (11/2) 205 days ago when making late headway after missing the break. Cheekpieces removed up in trip.

(2)

Annandale³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63| C

22/1

Eight-time winner who struggled to land a telling blow when sixth of 13 in handicap here (10f) at 20/1 36 days ago, dwelt at start and effort flattened out. Back up in trip could suit based on previous winning form.

Form: 647176

Forecasts

Machete (2/1), Miners Gamble (4/1), Relocal (9/2), Loving Look (15/2), Haveyoumissedme (12/1), Promethean (12/1), Trojan Sun (12/1), Atlantic Sunset (14/1), Annandale (22/1), Return To Dubai (33/1), Zephlyn (50/1)

MACHETE showed clear signs of returning to form when finishing third at this C&D 25 days ago, beaten only by unexposed three-year-olds. He looks well positioned to strike in this slightly easier race. Trojan Sun has been in excellent form with two recent wins over longer trips and should handle the drop in distance with his proven versatility. Haveyoumissedme also merits respect following his Redcar victory.
