Audacious Plan^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 112| BF

6/4

Better grade than this at his peak for Rebecca Curtis, but lost his way and became disappointing. Back to something more like it when second at Uttoxeter on first start for this yard, stays well and handles the likely ground, so has to be a player.

Form: 330P9-2

Reckless Behavior¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 110| BF

6/1

In the frame on all three of his starts this autumn, and going the right way if latest second in competitive Southwell handicap is to be believed. Likely to improve for step up in trip here and can't be discounted.

Form: 2-6322

Dawn Missile^p,t⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 107

9/2

Useful stayer for William Haggas on the Flat, but it's not clicked for him over hurdles yet and new yard go for the cheekpieces to help the situation today. Nicely handicapped if it does, but the question marks are stacking up now.

Form: 0357-5

Generous Chief^v¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 107

7/1

Consistent but a moderate strike rate and normally finds something to beat him. Ran right to form when second over this C&D last time out and a repeat puts him on the premises, but up 4lb for that and may be playing for a place again.

Form: 875932

Simple As That^t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 107

40/1

Handicapper has a stab at this mark after one good run at Chepstow on 2016 debut (finished one place in front of stablemate now rated 127) and two much lesser efforts. No idea how much ability is retained, and market best guide.

Form: 56-4

Grey Monk^b1,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽⁵⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 105

16/1

Won the last time the headgear was changed, so of interest on that alone, and now 2lb lower than last winning mark too. Noted doing some late work at Southwell over trip too short last time, and may be ready to bounce back.

Form: P546-55

Herdswick Holloa¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 99

10/1

Looked in need of the run so a good effort to finish second to Ilewindelilah (reopposes on 8lb better terms for six lengths) at Fontwell last time, but had a hard race there and may not be over it. Chances if he is though, and not discounted.

Form: 45P74-2

Ilewindelilah^b¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: C J Mann| OR: 81

8/1

Not unbacked at big prices when successful at Fontwell last time and would have won easier but for not flattening the last. Up 10lb for that but still on a fair mark on old form, and every chance of repeating the dose. Stays well.

Form: P/P09-81

Forecasts

Audacious Plan (6/4), Dawn Missile (9/2), Reckless Behavior (6/1), Generous Chief (7/1), Ilewindelilah (8/1), Herdswick Holloa (10/1), Grey Monk (16/1), Simple As That (40/1)

A very interesting race and a few can be given a chance. Ilewindelilah and Herdswick Holloa met at Fontwell with the former coming out on top, but Herdswick Holloa looked badly in need of the run and may well get closer today. Audacious Plan looks primed to go well, with his new yard seemingly turning his fortunes around, but a chance is taken on GREY MONK, who has his ideal conditions today, and the change of headgear might just work the oracle.
