Weekend Winners On At The Races Handicap

Off time: 16:23 | Winning time: 1m 42.18s

King Sharja⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| C| D

4/1

Back in fine form of late and followed up success at Musselburgh (1m) with victory in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 6 days ago. Can't be ruled out in his hat-trick bid under a 5-lb penalty.

Form: 056211

Soames Forsyte^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: M Herrington| OR: 58| CD

10/3

Unreliable sort but he's a 4-time course winner and wasn't seen to best effect with seventh of 12 in handicap over C&D a week ago. Needs considering.

Form: 506597

Renewable Dream²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 56

10/1

Remains a maiden but turned in his best effort of the season for new yard with third of 9 in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (form is working out really well) last time. Merits serious consideration with this return to 1m also a likely plus.

Form: 90-9833

(6)

Arc La Shari⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: I Furtado| OR: 59WS

33/1

Shaped well when a debut second in 7f Newcastle novice last November but hasn't kicked on in 3 subsequent starts, just seventh of 10 on handicap debut back there (7f) in July. Has since undergone a breathing operation and needs it to spark a resurgence.

Form: 36-07

(1)

Potters Prince²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Crawley| OR: 54

18/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o. Solid efforts to make the frame in 1m handicaps at Lingfield (all-weather) and Yarmouth in the spring. Shaped as if in need of the run after 5 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 25 days ago. Not out of things on tapeta debut.

Form: 45-5345

(2)

Danrana³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 58

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort in a first-time hood when fifth at Doncaster (7f) in August but failed to confirm that form in second-time headgear when beating one at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) since. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 48-058

(4)

Ocean Force^p1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54| BF

15/2

Lightly-raced 5-y-o. Sent off 15/8 but not seen to best effect when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, all-weather) last month, keeping on late having been short of room over 2f out. Well worth another chance fitted with cheekpieces over this more galloping track.

Form: 75566

(5)

Southern Warrior²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Olly Williams| OR: 58

40/1

Successful on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) in March for George Scott but has shown little for current connections, latterly over 7f here.

Form: 350808

(10)

Starakova⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: W Greatrex| OR: 58| CD

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton (7f) in April and doubled her tally in 8-runner handicap over C&D last month when overcoming a pace bias. Up 4 lb can go well again with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Form: 501731

(9)

Cy Twombly^v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: J Mackie| OR: 53

33/1

Yet to register a victory and he arrives out of sorts, only eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 9 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 894098

(11)

Mercurius Power^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 52| CD

10/1

It's now over 2 years since he scored over C&D but he arrives in decent nick, not best drawn when fifth of 10 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 22 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 678525

(8)

Hear The Drums²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55| CD

15/2

Resumed winning ways over C&D in August and backed it up off 4 lb higher with a solid third of 10 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 22 days ago. Can't be dismissed.

Form: 1-08713

(14)

Al Suil Eile^p⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Gilligan| T: D Shaw| OR: 51| CD

22/1

Veteran is a 4-time C&D winner for Shaun Harris. Only second run back from 16 months off for new yard when a creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 6 days ago. Possibilities in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 7370-64

Forecasts

Soames Forsyte (10/3), Starakova (10/3), King Sharja (4/1), Hear The Drums (15/2), Ocean Force (15/2), Mercurius Power (10/1), Renewable Dream (10/1), Roccapina (10/1), Potters Prince (18/1), Al Suil Eile (22/1), Cy Twombly (33/1), Arc La Shari (33/1), Southern Warrior (40/1), Danrana (66/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to RENEWABLE DREAM who took a step forward for his new handler when running on into third at Wolverhampton (form been well advertised since) and can gain a first win now returned to 1m here. Ocean Force rates a big danger if, as expected, proving better suited to this track than when sixth at Lingfield last time. C&D scorer Starakova and handicap debutante Roccapina are other likely players too in this competitive handicap.
