28/1

Modest maiden. Tongue strap on first time, seventh of 12 in classified event (25/1) at Southwell (7f) 5 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a bit more.

Headshot¹³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46| D

13/2

Won a Southwell classified event last March. Below par on turf when last seen in the summer but no surprise to see him revive back on AW.

Form: 516354-

Ishani¹⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 43

50/1

First run since leaving Mitchell Hunt when twelfth of 13 in classified event at Wolverhampton (6f) when last seen in July. Significantly back up in trip on return from break.

Form: 008070-

(7)

Liege^h⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: S Hodgson| OR: 49

7/1

Still a maiden. 14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 61 days ago. Hood back on. Can make presence felt if back to his best.

Form: 833658-

(6)

Marinakis⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

5/2

Seventh of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 82 days ago, merely closing up late. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 009/807-

(8)

Platinum Jubilee^b1,t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: D Donovan| OR: 49| C

9/2

Course winner over 1¼m. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 17/2, sixth of 12 in classified event at Southwell (7f) 5 days ago. The step back up in trip should suit. Contender if reacting well to first-time blinkers.

Form: 80805-6

(2)

Poles Apart⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: H Morrison| OR: 47

7/2

Modest form but latest 7f Kempton fifth was creditable and the return to 1m should suit. Considered.

Form: 473595-

Forecasts

Marinakis (5/2), Poles Apart (7/2), Platinum Jubilee (9/2), Headshot (13/2), Liege (7/1), Dash Power (10/1), Floridian (16/1), Advindi (28/1), Ishani (50/1)

Former course scorer PLATINUM JUBILEE gets the nod in the hope that she reacts well to first-time blinkers. Poles Apart has it in him to run a big race at this level and is second choice ahead of Headshot, who won a similar race last March but has peak fitness to prove back from a break.
