Twilight Jet¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: J & S Best| OR: 77| CD

4/6

Classy sprinter in his younger days who was the subject of strong support and duly delivered when ending losing run in 7-runner C&D handicap 12 days ago. Still fairly treated on the back of a 3 lb rise and big shout again.

Form: 5-58581

Mission Command^v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Callan| T: J Candlish| OR: 73

11/4

Hasn't won since his 2-y-o days but placed for fourth consecutive start at Musselburgh (7f) in April. Raced freely when below form at Thirsk (1m) and visor now reached for on this return to sprinting.

Form: 533330

Invincible Speed⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

8/1

Has found some consistency since scoring on the polytrack here in January, not beaten far again back on turf last time. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 64-1444

The Bitter Moose²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 71

15/2

Had plenty in his favour when winning 7-runner handicap at Epsom (7f) in August. Seen only 3 times since, again going minus his usual headgear when eleventh of 18 in handicap at Ascot (6f) 3 weeks ago. All wins have come at 7f and others appeal more.

Form: 2210-40

Lahina Bay¹²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 60| D

18/1

Won at Bath (5f) in October and followed up on all-weather here the following month. Form was a little mixed thereafter but finds herself back on last winning mark now returning from 4 months off.

Form: 1154-36

Forecasts

Twilight Jet (11/8), Invincible Speed (3/1), Woolridge (5/1), Mission Command (15/2), The Bitter Moose (10/1), Lahina Bay (12/1)

TWILIGHT JET ended a lengthy losing run and justified good support in the process when scoring over C&D 12 days ago and he looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to defy a 3 lb higher mark. Invincible Speed and Mission Command head up the dangers.
