R P Mcmurphy^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| CD

3/1

Dual C&D winner last winter who confirmed his return to form when a close fourth here (7f) 2 weeks ago. Return to this trip will suit so he needs considering.

Form: 318034

Amarachi^p³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 53

3/1

Produced a career best to get off the mark for this yard by a wide margin at Bath on Saturday, first-time cheekpieces presumably the catalyst. Obvious claims with a repeat under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 262961

Cy Twombly^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Mackie| OR: 56

66/1

Back to form from out of the blue when fourth at Wolverhampton in July but quickly back in the doldrums since.

Mr Fustic^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Andi Brown| OR: 56| CD

12/1

Free-going sort who had race run to suit when back on the scoreboard at Southwell in March. Unable to back that up since, offering little back from 3 months off at Southwell 2 weeks ago.

Form: 6-31450

Manton Road²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Kieren Fox| T: R T Phillips| OR: 54| BF| CD

9/1

Ended a losing run here (7f) in July and backed it up off revised mark next 2 starts, likely to have finished closer with a clearer run over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: 323154

Pretty Spirited¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 54

9/2

Successful twice last summer. Positive start for this yard when chasing home a subsequent winner at Nottingham last month and not disgraced back on softer going at Sandown. Not taken lightly returned to all-weather.

Form: 13-3024

Cloch Nua¹³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: S D Bowen| T: T Culhane & S Barclay| OR: 54| CD

40/1

Shaped encouragingly back from a break when third at Newcastle in April and not disgraced having rare start on turf the following month, but he's been off the track since.

Form: 04-6636

Rogue Officer^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53

16/1

Still a maiden but came as close as he has ever done to winning when a back-to-form second over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: 2-90062

(7)

Malakai Kite¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: R Harris| OR: 58

33/1

Hasn't looked straightforward in maidens and ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Bath 2 weeks ago.

Form: 43539

Create^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 51

25/1

Can blow her chance at the start but got her head back in front in Ffos Las classified event in July. However, failed by a long way to repeat that effort back in handicap company at Southwell.

Form: 004710

(3)

Captive Beauty¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Burdon| OR: 56

7/2

Just failed to make a winning handicap debut here (7f) and backed that up at the second attempt when third at Yarmouth, shaping as if worth a try over this longer trip.

Form: 8-60283

(5)

Esplanade¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills| OR: 56

28/1

Dark Angel filly out of a borderline useful mare but she hasn't shown much in 3 starts so far. Makes handicap debut.

Forecasts

R P Mcmurphy (3/1), Amarachi (3/1), Captive Beauty (7/2), Pretty Spirited (9/2), Manton Road (9/1), Mr Fustic (12/1), Rogue Officer (16/1), Create (25/1), Esplanade (28/1), Malakai Kite (33/1), Exquisite Skye (33/1), Cloch Nua (40/1), Cy Twombly (66/1)

AMARACHI responded well to this headgear when a wide-margin winner at Bath on Saturday so looks the one to beat under a penalty. R P McMurphy and Captive Beauty both shaped well over 7f last time so they head the dangers.
