Cavallo Pazzo^t,v1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Gray| T: D Bourke| OR: 55| D

11/2

Yet to win for current yard and back from 11 months off 29 days ago when eighth of 14 in a handicap at Ayr but shaped as if needing the run. Makes his all-weather debut with a first-time visor applied down in grade but is hard to be confident about.

Form: 4/7976-8

12/1

Sold for 2,200 gns in May and offered little when 10th of 11 at Carlisle in a handicap over 6f in July on second run for new yard. Back up to 7f today.

Hey Havana²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan| T: S Hanlon| OR: 55

4/1

Placed twice in August but has been poor since, latest 11th of 12 at Newcastle over 1½m 21 days ago when didn't see out the trip in first-time blinkers. Back down markedly in trip with blinkers removed starting out for a new yard.

10/1

6 wins all at Newcastle including classified stakes over C&D in July, but unplaced in 11 handicap starts in a row and latest run over 1m wasn't encouraging. Now back at 7f.

Neapolitan^t,v³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 50

12/1

Regressive for this yard and well beaten both outings this year so is impossible to fancy.

Form: 5006-77

Kitaab⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 48| C

9/1

Winless in 15 runs but caught the eye over 7f at Chester in July before disappointing back down to 6f when eleventh of 13 in classified race here later that month. Back up to 7f but hard to be confident about.

Coulsty Exchange^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 48

9/4

Shaped better than the result on recent handicap debut for new trainer after 8 months off, finishing sixth of 10 here 14 days ago when making late headway under hands-and-heels at 6f. Will be suited by this return to 7f and can be expected to make a much bigger impact down in 0-55 company.

Sadiiki¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: F Watson| OR: 45

40/1

Yet to win in 12 starts and has never bettered poor form so can't be fancied for win purposes.

Form: 770-076

Dream Forever^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 46

7/2

Won at Carlisle in first-time blinkers in August and produced creditable fourth of 12 in a handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Made frame on last 4 occasions at this track and looks sure to be in the mix in a weak event.

Form: 001284

Forecasts

Coulsty Exchange (4/1), Dream Forever (9/2), Cavallo Pazzo (11/2), Hey Havana (13/2), Kitaab (15/2), Trais Fluors (15/2), Orbital Chime (8/1), Neapolitan (8/1), Sadiiki (14/1)

COULSTY EXCHANGE shaped much better than the bare result when sixth on handicap debut at this track a fortnight ago, making late headway under a hands-and-heels ride at 6f. The return to 7f should suit and she can make the breakthrough in a weak affair. Dream Forever has a solid course record and looks by far her biggest danger.
