(10)

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54

Yet to open his account in 15 starts and little promise since joining this yard. Now steps back up to 7f and drops to 0-55 company.

Form: 695778

Sonbelievable⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Parr| OR: 54

Very little promise in qualifying runs and hard to fancy on handicap debut.

Form: 798

Based²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Knight| OR: 53| D

Won at Wolverhampton in June but not kicked on since. Better signs when fourth of 9 at same track 24 days ago when not getting a good trip round and he's capable of scoring again in this company. Tongue strap worn for last 2 outings now removed.

Form: 734074

Auradue^b1⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 50

Showed some promise on third outing when fourth at Doncaster but struggled over 5f on handicap debut at Newcastle in July. First-time blinkers and step up to 7f after 82 days off could see her reveal more.

Form: 6647

Vitalline^t,v¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 49| D

Twice a winner this year and followed a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 11 in a handicap at Kempton 15 days ago. Often races freely and now has the visor back on to replace blinkers worn last time. Capable at this level.

Form: 992628

Mickey Mongoose^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: Olly Williams| OR: 48| CD

Struggling for form but now below last winning mark and returns to the scene of last 4 career wins so better could be expected.

Form: 814006

Megaphone⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 48

Largely struggled since joining this yard but has tumbled to a basement mark and probably hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice so not one to totally dismiss.

Form: 340956

Distillate^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A McGuinness| OR: 47| D

Irish raider who is on a long losing run and form has been patchy at best this year. Did shape quite when third at Laytown in September, though, and is down to a handy mark so she needs a market check in a very winnable race.

Form: 0B0388

Gloriola⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Zak Wheatley| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 48

Second on all-weather debut at Wolverhampton in June and third there in July but only sixth of 8 here when last seen in August. Off 70 days and less exposed than most of these so not without hope back at 7f.

Form: 0-05236

Edergole's Gift^p,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 45| D

Came good this time last year but last couple of outings don't make her look like an imminent winner.

Form: 954486

(13)

Neat And Tidy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 47

Has little solid form to her name and recent effort having left Richard Hughes cheaply wasn't encouraging.

Form: 055407

(8)

Pink Socks^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 45| CD

Did well here in classified races back in January but has lost her way completely since joining current yard.

Form: 596008

(4)

My Prerogative²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 45

Lightly raced and showed a glimmer more when fifth of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton 24 days ago. Needs another step forward.

Form: 8-585

Based (7/2), Distillate (6/1), Men Of Honour (7/1), Mickey Mongoose (8/1), Gloriola (10/1), Edergole's Gift (10/1), Sonbelievable (10/1), Vitalline (10/1), My Prerogative (10/1), Auradue (12/1), Megaphone (14/1), Neat And Tidy (25/1), Pink Socks (33/1)

DISTILLATE shaped as if back in form when third at Laytown last month and, though her next 2 outings weren't so good, she's been found a weak contest to make the trip over from Ireland worthwhile. She is selected ahead of Based, who has been hampered by slow starts and traffic trouble since winning in June, and could take a hand, while Mickey Mongoose returns to a track he goes well at.
