Jujubella^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: D Nolan| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 69| CD

7/2

Notched a fourth success here in 11-runner handicap over C&D 15 days ago. Up 3 lb but she can go well again.

Form: 323021

Elemental Eye^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 68| CD

7/1

Resumed winning ways in first-time blinkers over C&D in June. Added to that over hurdles at Perth (2m) last month so very much one to consider back in this sphere.

Form: 553127

Saxophonist²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

11/4

Remains a maiden but again ran with lots of credit when seventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) 23 days ago, finishing well having not enjoyed the smoothest of passages. Can make his presence felt once more.

Form: 335227

Mr Moonshine^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69| D

5/1

Got off the mark in handicap at Southwell (1½m) in September. Back to form in refitted cheekpieces when fourth of 11 to Jujubella over C&D 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 233104

Stage Show^b1,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 62| D

28/1

Sprang a surprise (66/1) when making a successful return to the Flat at Salisbury in May but below that level since, including over hurdles at Plumpton last month. Others appeal more.

Form: 65/1835

Charlie Darling¹³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: A D Brown| OR: 61

14/1

Bagged a pair of 2m Southwell handicaps for current yard in late spring. Off since coming in only eighth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (17f, good) in June though. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 731168

Prince Achille²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 59| C

16/1

A 5-time course winner. Yet to add to that this season however and comes here on the back of a below-par fourth of 14 here (1¼m) 21 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 457834

Farabove The Limit²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 65| CD

11/4

On the up since being gelded and followed up a first win at Carlisle (11f) in August in 12-runner handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago when overcoming a pace bias. Up 3 lb but runner-up has gone in since and he can complete a hat-trick.

Form: 38-4911

Habari¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: D Bourke| OR: 55

50/1

Ex-Irish maiden who has offered little in 4 runs for his current yard, off 8 months before beating one home in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) on his return in April. Lots to prove on tapeta debut following another absence.

Form: 8/4007-8

(4)

Bruce Banner^p⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 53| CD

14/1

C&D winner last April. Winless this season and arrives a bit below form, fourth of 9 in handicap over C&D last time. More is needed.

Form: 352444

Togeather Forever¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort when fourth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (1¾m, good) 16 days ago. This free-going sort needs to build on it on tapeta debut.

Form: 65084

The Floors Munky^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: William Pyle| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 45

100/1

Poor maiden. Only eighth of 9 in handicap here (1¼m) 14 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 000688

Forecasts

Farabove The Limit (5/2), Jujubella (7/2), Saxophonist (5/1), Mr Moonshine (13/2), Elemental Eye (8/1), Bruce Banner (12/1), Togeather Forever (12/1), Prince Achille (20/1), Charlie Darling (20/1), Stage Show (25/1), Habari (33/1), The Floors Munky (100/1)

A few with chances but FARABOVE THE LIMIT hasn't looked back since being gelded and gets a confident vote to complete a hat-trick having done well to overcome a steady pace when going in over C&D last time. Jujubella is next on the list in her bid for a fifth success here, while Mr Moonshine and Saxophonist can also play a prominent role.
