Meet Me In Meraki

J: Billy Loughnane
T: David Evans
F: 78732521

EXC 1.03

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 10lbs
Or: 64

Shaped well when second at Chepstow in August then won a handicap at Chester 13 days ago, travelling well to lead final 100 yds. Up 3 lb but has all-weather wins to his name and looks sure to go well with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Takeitorleaveit (Ire)

EXC 1.03

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 65

Has finished out of the first 2 only twice in 9 starts this year, including when winning at Nottingham in July. Good second of 10 in a handicap at Salisbury 13 days ago and looks sure to go well again if proving effectiveness on all-weather.

EXC 1.03

Won in France but not so good for current connections. Entitled to come on for recent return from 8 months off though so could reveal more.

EXC 1.03

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 1lbs
Or: 61

Fared better with first-time blinkers when third of 9 in a handicap at Redcar 15 days ago, though took a keen hold. Cheekpieces replace blinkers over this longer trip and likely needs more returned to all-weather.

EXC 1.03

Weight: 9st 0lbs

Third twice in handicaps on all-weather earlier this year before shaping as if needing run when seventh of 11 at Kempton 29 days ago on return from 7 months off. Gelded since and in the right hands to progress further at some point.

Call Alert

EXC 1.07

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 4lbs
Or: 51

Well beaten on recent all-weather/handicap debut so hard to fancy after that, but she's bred to be suited by this step up in trip which at least gives a reason to be positive about her.

EXC 1.08

Won at Newcastle in July and ran well next time but has disappointed since. C&D winner for stable that has had success this month so could bounce back.

Timeform Verdict

MEET ME IN MERAKI ended a losing run at Chester recently and remains with handicapping scope so could well follow up with Loughnane in the saddle. Takeitorleaveit is hard to picture being outside the places unless he fails to handle the surface, while Lord Mayor should strip fitter for recent reappearance.

Betting Forecast

17/2 Freddy Robinson, 2/1 Meet Me In Meraki, 9/2 Takeitorleaveit (Ire), 22/1 Rodoya (Ire), 8/1 Cosmic Man (Ire), 7/1 Lord Mayor, 33/1 Call Alert, 9/1 Bearwith
