Alex The Great^p1⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

12/1

It's now twelve runs since last win in 2025 and he's been out of sorts for a while, fitting of a visor failing to have positive effect when seventh of 9 in handicap over further at Southwell last month. Cheekpieces now the headgear of choice down further in grade.

Form: 700-887

Change Of Fortune³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 47

25/1

Finally off the mark at Ffos Las (1m) in June and largely held his form on turf thereafter. However, hasn't been at best in pair of all-weather starts since the turn of the year.

Form: 4334-58

(4)

Dotties Star²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen| T: P Phelan| OR: 50

16/1

Winless on the Flat but did break his duck over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) last winter. Managed to string a couple of creditable efforts together in that sphere of late if he can translate those efforts back to this discipline.

Form: 58752/7-

Foinix^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 49| D

33/1

Ended losing run Brighton (1½m) in August but out of sorts under both codes in recent months.

Form: 22127-8

(1)

Gearing's Point^p⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass| T: Miss S West| OR: 48| CD

17/2

Winless for over 2½ years but found himself aided by the drop back to this trip when finishing a creditable third in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. A repeat gives her claims eased in claims.

Form: 6/84-563

(7)

Onlyriversrunfree^p1¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: M McGrath| OR: 50

40/1

5-y-o mare who offered little in trio of novice/maidens and similar story switched to handicaps. Improvement required now upped further in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 9/66807-

(12)

Paps Of Jura^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 43

14/1

Well held first 5 starts but he did at least offer a glimmer more in a first-time tongue strap down to this level when fifth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 2 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now tackling a markedly longer trip.

Form: 689-075

(8)

Saachi¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 50| D

5/4

Found the drop into this company liberating when belatedly shedding maiden tag at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 2 weeks ago, setting an ordinary gallop and ultimately winning unchallenged. Definite player with a repeat.

Form: 5345-41

(2)

Tatmeen^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 50| D

12/1

Sole win came at Kempton (1½m) last May and struggled since, running no sort of race with cheekpieces added (now discarded) over C&D 25 days ago.

Form: 550-966

(9)

Warrior Lion^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J Candlish| OR: 49

8/1

Still in search of first success but he did run respectably when runner-up at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in January. Disappointing in 2 hurdle runs subsequently but no surprise to see a better showing returned to the level.

Form: 73506-2

(5)

Ignition^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 48

4/1

Posted a creditable third on penultimate start at Wolverhampton (12.2f) and again ran well despite not finding things unfolding ideally over further there 5 weeks ago. Has a race of this nature within his grasp on that evidence.

Form: 576-434

(6)

Pure Theory⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 47

33/1

Remains a maiden and seemingly going through the motions in recent months, disappointing when ninth in classified company at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip minus cheekpieces on this occasion.

Form: 4-45469

Forecasts

Saachi (5/4), Ignition (4/1), Warrior Lion (8/1), Gearing's Point (17/2), Tatmeen (12/1), Alex The Great (12/1), Paps Of Jura (14/1), Dotties Star (16/1), Change Of Fortune (25/1), Foinix (33/1), Pure Theory (33/1), Onlyriversrunfree (40/1)

In a wide-open race it could pay to take a chance on IGNITION, who didn't find things panning out ideally when fourth over further at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago and this ease back in trip ought to pose no fears. Last-time-out scorer Saachi, Gearing's Point and Warrior Lion (returned to the Flat) are others to consider.
