Slow starter who was played late when breaking her duck in a Lingfield classified event (1m, AW) in July; well beaten back in handicap company latest but would have a chance from this mark if able to repeat her Nottingham reappearance effort (8.5f, good).

Began his career with back-to-back Newcastle wins (7f, AW) but has never been able to hit similar heights in handicaps; handy mark if back on song but recent efforts offer little hope and this trip looks too sharp now.

Some good runs in defeat this year, including here; however, only fourth of six behind Clipsham Noble over C&D (good to firm) last time and he's 0-16 since winning his first two starts in winter 2024/25; first-time blinkers replace the visor.

Ended her time for Hugo Palmer with a good second at Leicester (1m2f) in July; yet to build on that in three runs for her new yard, though not disgraced with sixth in 1m Redcar handicap last time; no forlorn hope.

Nine-race maiden; close second off today's mark at Leicester last month, her final start for Hugo Palmer, but failed to build upon an encouraging stable debut when last of seven at Ripon (also 1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago; drops back in trip here.

10/1

Betting Forcast

4/1 Casilli, 9/2 Love You More, 8/1 Kameel, 9/1 Al Baahy, 7/2 Copper And Five, 5/1 Elettaria, 10/1 Itszaboy, 10/1 Golden Samba, 33/1 Star Suepreme, 25/1 Diamond Aura

Verdict

The suggestion is COPPER AND FIVE, largely due to his penchant for this venue. Love You More has at least having proved capable of winning recently and neither Elettaria nor Itszaboy are ruled out. Casilli is probably worth monitoring in the market.[Jonathan Doidge]
