Royal Jet^h⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| CD

17/2

Made it 5 wins from his last 8 starts when successful at this course 7 days ago, though this race unlikely to pan out as favourably, and he could prove vulnerable under a 5-lb penalty.

Form: 111261

Youarenotforgiven^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

5/2

Previous 3 victories have come at this course, latterly over C&D 7 days ago when bouncing back to form with Billy Loughane taking over in the saddle. Similar performance should see him go close under 4-lb penalty.

Form: 039-881

Cosi Bear³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 65

33/1

50,000 gns Kodi Bear filly went close second time up in Southwell maiden but likely needed the run after 17 months off when last of 5 at Kempton on return. Opening mark at least looks a fair one.

Form: 82/5

(7)

Fools Rush In^v,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

11/2

Free-going sort was below form last time following a couple of forgivable efforts, though he's quickly back on latest winning mark and could outrun the forecast odds.

Form: 521088

Poke The Bear^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 62| CD

15/2

Had been building up a fine course record prior to a rare below-par effort over 7f here latest and while more pace in the race would be ideal, he's more than earned another chance.

Form: 611725

(5)

Secret Road^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 62| CD

8/1

Back to his best for change of headgear/stable (left James Owen) when winning C&D handicap last time, and he isn't fully exposed over this trip, either.

Form: 223461

(4)

No Knee Never^t,p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 61

6/1

Closely matched with Fools Rush In following their Southwell 1-2 last month and though again below form there last time, he could be better positioned than most here.

Form: 624575

(2)

My Ambition¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 58| BF| CD

16/1

Backed up C&D win with a third here before disappointing at Southwell later in September, and while well drawn on return, a modest pace wouldn't be ideal given his free-going ways.

Form: 584130-

Always Fearless^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 57| CD

12/1

Confirmed promise of comeback run to take advantage of a handy mark at Wolverhampton last time and while this is a better race, he's still feasibly treated on the best of his old form.

Form: 09/96-31

(8)

Sharma D'amour¹⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D J Coakley| OR: 48| CD

7/1

Attracted support but not seen to best effect when eighth of 13 in 1¼m handicap here on latest start in October. Worth a market check (yard also saddle My Ambition) with Hollie Doyle booked for return.

Form: 468478-

Forecasts

Youarenotforgiven (5/2), Fools Rush In (11/2), No Knee Never (6/1), Sharma D'amour (7/1), Poke The Bear (15/2), Secret Road (8/1), Royal Jet (17/2), Always Fearless (12/1), My Ambition (16/1), Cosi Bear (33/1)

Back on the same mark as when winning a muddling affair at Southwell last month, FOOLS RUSH IN appeals as a value alternative in a race lacking obvious pace. Poke The Bear and Youarenotforgiven both still look fairly treated and need considering in a wide-open handicap.
