Spendmore Lane¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

20/1

Still a maiden following 9 attempts but she turned in another creditable display despite again missing the kick when a keeping on fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 22/1) 11 days ago. Has the ability to land a race of this nature provided she breaks efficiently.

Form: 770254

Guiteau^p⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 60| D

18/1

Won impressively at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) in September. Not in same form next 2 starts, weakening from 2f out when seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft) in October. 6-week break won't have done him any harm (has gone well fresh) and interesting of the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 204167

Treacherous¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: E De Giles| OR: 60| CD

11/4

Veteran who arrives on a losing run of thirteen but he was caught wider than ideal when seventh of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Certainly not one to be writing off at this level with his mark continuing to ease.

Form: 769667

Papa Don't Preach¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: K Frost| OR: 59

6/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago, headway over 1f out and staying on. Consistency is very hard to knock and no surprise to see him thereabouts again.

Man On A Mission²⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 58| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in March, slowly into stride and always behind. Absent since but each of his last 2 victories have come over C&D so worth a market check back from 9 months off.

Form: 1-72539

Up The Anti¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| D

50/1

Doubled career tally at Bath (5.7f, soft) in October but friendless in the betting and she ran poorly when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Return to sprinting for polytrack debut but drawn wider than ideal in stall 11 here.

Form: P22810

Horus¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 57| D

40/1

Landed a 6f AW handicap last winter but form proved up and down during first half of this year and he was below form after 5 months off when eleventh of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago. Others rate stronger.

Pinjarra^b⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 56| D

10/3

Well suited by the sound pace when resuming winning ways in 14-runner handicap (14/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 47 days ago, readily. Expected to be bang there again from this 6 lb higher mark.

Beau Jardine^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 51| D

5/2

Twenty one runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 892538

(12)

The Cola Kid^v,t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard| T: G Harris| OR: 50| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 7/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago, no extra last ½f. Recent consistency hard to knock but he will need things to fall just right operating from widest stall of all.

Forecasts

Beau Jardine (5/2), Treacherous (11/4), Pinjarra (10/3), Papa Don't Preach (6/1), Southbank (7/1), Man On A Mission (11/1), The Cola Kid (16/1), Albert Cee (16/1), Guiteau (18/1), Spendmore Lane (20/1), Horus (40/1), Up The Anti (50/1)

PINJARRA was well served by the sound pace when resuming winning ways in comfortable fashion at Southwell 7 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold follow-up bid from a handy inside draw. Spendmore Lane is a danger, not least if breaking more efficiently. Southbank and Papa Don't Preach can also have a say.
