9/1

Lightly raced for his age and was a close third at Bath on just his second handicap outing back in September. Well below that form since, however, including all 3 starts for new yard this season. Tongue strap and cheekpieces go on for first time.

Form: 535-855

Alshimali^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

8/1

Scored twice over 5f at Brighton in 2025. Resumed from 8 months off with a creditable fourth of 8 in 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, fading last 1f. Very much one to consider.

Form: 81362-4

Be An Angel^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: B R Millman| OR: 56| D

9/2

Fitted with cheekpieces when gaining a first handicap success at Salisbury in July. Back to form in first-time blinkers when second of 5 at Brighton (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Needs to reproduce it now.

May Encounter^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Callan| T: H Candy| OR: 53

5/2

Remains winless but she's a consistent sort and is best forgiven her latest run (denied a run over 1f out) when seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, firm) 30 days ago. Needs considering from a slipping mark.

Form: 5-55647

Ten Club^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| D

22/1

Successful over 6f/7f in 2025. Fell early at Chepstow in July and came in last of 8 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago.

Form: 00-75F8

Macarone¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 51| D

6/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark to gain a first win for current yard in 6-runner classified event at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Needs to back it up returned to handicap company now.

Form: 875251

Some Nightmare^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 49| D

11/4

It's now twenty runs since his last win in 2025 but he's knocking on the door, well clear of rest when runner-up in handicap at Chepstow (5f, soft) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark.

Form: 337322

Rock Master¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

22/1

Long-standing maiden but he wasn't disgraced with fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good) 11 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 806645

Forecasts

May Encounter (5/2), Some Nightmare (11/4), Be An Angel (9/2), Macarone (6/1), Alshimali (8/1), Trafalger (9/1), Rock Master (22/1), Ten Club (22/1)

SOME NIGHTMARE is on a long losing run but can race off the same mark as when a clear second at Chepstow recently so gets the nod over Alshimali who made an encouraging return from an absence when fourth at Wolverhampton and should strip sharper here. May Encounter is edging down the weights and can also have a say.
