17/2

Failed to come on for recent run when only seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Back down in trip with more needed if he's to gain a first success of 2024.

Got back on track after 11 weeks off when fourth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good) 41 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb.

Form: 274-354

Dembe¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: D Swift| T: S Pearce| OR: 73| D

16/1

It's now 20 runs since his last win in 2022 but he wasn't discredited when fifth of 16 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly now eased 1 lb.

Form: 629275

Lahab²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: M Wigham| OR: 72

6/1

In good form without winning until too free when a fading seventh of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 21 days ago on his final run for Grant Tuer. No forlorn hope for his new handler.

Form: 705377

(2)

Oso Rapido¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70

10/1

Winless and largely below par this term, only twelfth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Much more is required despite a falling mark.

Form: 007050

(13)

Tobetso⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 70| BF| D

22/1

In good form until trailing in last of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Vince Le Prince^p,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

13/2

Resumed winning ways at Leicester in July and backed it up with a solid third of 12 at Thirsk (7f, good) 10 days ago. Likely contender off an unchanged mark.

Form: 18-2613

(4)

Wyvern^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 68

80/1

On a lengthy losing sequence and came in last of 10 on his first run since leaving Stuart Williams over C&D 43 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with something to prove.

Form: 80-9050

(3)

Saviour^h,t⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: H Palmer| OR: 74

9/1

Fair form at 2yrs but he has come in a well-held sixth in a pair of 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Sandown this summer, hooded on latter occasion. Others appeal more.

Form: 334-66

(7)

Once Adaay^t,v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 64| D

22/1

Doubled his tally for the year at Chelmsford in March but in and out since, a below form seventh of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good) 8 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 180337

(6)

Rainwater^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69

18/1

Fair maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when a creditable seventh of 11 to Vince Le Prince in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 21 days ago. Possibilities off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 2-4467

Forecasts

Evocative Spark (9/4), Lahab (6/1), Vince Le Prince (13/2), Island Native (8/1), Light Speed (17/2), Saturnalia (9/1), Saviour (9/1), Oso Rapido (10/1), Dembe (16/1), Rainwater (18/1), Tobetso (22/1), Once Adaay (22/1), Wyvern (80/1)

EVOCATIVE SPARK arrives in top form and can boast winning form round here so edges the vote in this tightly-knit handicap. Saturnalia is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although both Dembe and Vince Le Prince seem likely to be on the premises too.
