12/1

Maiden showing AW form with recent 2nd and 3rd placings, then finished 4th of 11 in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton (4/1) 16 days ago, continuing her run of in-frame finishes. Could make the frame again on this surface.

11/10

Out of form since February win here but took a step back when fifth of 9 in handicap over 5f at Wolverhampton (22/1) 14 days ago. Could be worth another chance back up in trip at a C&D where he's won twice.

Mammy⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 52

22/1

Placed third in handicaps at this C&D and Windsor in August, showing modest ability when staying on. Ran poorly when eighth of 9 at this C&D (20/1) 7 days ago after 13 weeks off. Needs to recapture summer form.

Form: 763358

It's Showtime^t,p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 50

13/2

Improved form with two seconds in last four AW starts despite no wins in 20 races. Close second of 10 at Lingfield (16/1) last week, beaten by neck. Back up in trip but remains cautious pick due to tendency for mistakes.

Form: 3R8272

Beau Jardine^b⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 50| BF| C| D

5/1

Has shown respectable efforts in AW handicaps, including third of 12 at Kempton over 6f 47 days ago. Finished 7th of 11 in handicap at Kempton (10/3) 5 days ago where he wasn't disgraced. Blinkers return today replacing cheekpieces and could help sharpen focus after 23 runs without a win.

Forecasts

Watermelon Sugar (11/10), Beau Jardine (5/1), It's Showtime (13/2), Forest Gunner (15/2), Nordic Glory (9/1), I Can Imagine (12/1), Mammy (22/1), World Of Darcy (25/1), Tilsworth Turf (25/1), Henry Tudor (28/1), Hannah's Return (33/1), Flicka's Girl (50/1)

FOREST GUNNER won a 5f handicap at Southwell earlier this autumn but has been below form since. The step back up to 6f is a question mark but could bounce back if stamina holds. It's Showtime went close over course and distance last week and makes most appeal of the remainder despite gate issues. Beau Jardine gets blinkers back which might rekindle interest after a lengthy losing sequence.
