Clever Relation³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Hart| T: H Morrison| OR: 70

11/4

After 4 months off, justified support (6/4) when winning 6-runner seller at Goodwood (11.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago, kept up to work. Could be able to follow up with more still to offer back in handicap company.

Form: 660-631

Turner Girl^v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: P J McDonald| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70| D

7/1

In first-time blinkers, left behind a lesser effort when third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 13/2) 27 days ago. Visor reapplied and she enters calculations having dropped back down to her last winning mark.

Form: 263503

Sectarius⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 68

8/1

Well held in handicaps both starts this year for P. J. F. Murphy, doing too much too soon when fourteenth of 16 at Leopardstown (8f, good, 22/1) 77 days ago. However, he's interesting for yard which does well with new recruits.

Form: 328-00

Whatacracker¹⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 66

16/1

Ran up to his best when making the frame at this C&D in May. However, well below that level when last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (14.2f, soft, 17/2) when last seen 101 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 316-047

(2)

Upepo¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| D

14/1

Won twice at Lingfield in January. Below form last 3 starts, though fared better with a run behind him when fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Form: 233005

Molinari⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 64| D

6/1

A while since his last win but stepped up on recent run when second of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm, 15/2) a week ago. Not discounted from his career-low mark.

Form: 9-74872

Ghost Story²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 68

8/1

Opened account at Nottingham in July and progressed again when third of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (12f) 29 days ago. Lightly raced so she has the potential of better still to come.

Form: 013

Yippee¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 66| C

14/1

Only success at this course (10f) in May. However, he followed a couple of respectable efforts with a poor one when last of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Bounce back called for.

Form: 395637

Something^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 65

10/1

In first-time cheekpieces, matched previous form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 17/2) 8 days ago, though was off the bridle long way out. Step back up in trip should suit as he also drops in grade.

Form: 7-4575

(4)

Melon¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 65

14/1

Some encouragement first 2 starts, before unsuited by the further drop in trip when sixth of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, soft, 28/1) in June. Capable of better returned to this longer distance for handicap debut.

Form: 446

Elforleather²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 63| BF| D

13/2

Recorded a third win of the season when scoring at Windsor in August. Below-par effort in hat-trick bid when sixth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 11/4) 22 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 232116

CLEVER RELATION doubled his tally with a bit to spare in a Goodwood seller last time and he can build on that effort to gain a first handicap success. He is taken to see off the challenge of Turner Girl, who is respected back down to her last winning mark, while Sectarius is one to note as he starts off for Ed Bethell.
