Zorba The Greek^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 70

7/2

Hasn't been disgracing himself since joining this stable, but still looks handicapped to his best and will need to improve on a never-nearer third at Newmarket last time out in order to have a say here. Hood retained.

Form: 54-2503

(5)

Bamako Du Chatelet^b1³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| C| D

11/1

C&D winner but has looked handicapped to his best recently, including during an unsuccessful attempt over 2m½f last time out. Needs first time blinkers to bring about plenty of extra improvement.

Form: 474274

(2)

Unsuspected Girl²⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 68| BF

50/1

Makes her first start for this trainer, having previously been with David Simcock. Most of her racing so far has come on the all-weather but she has also run well on turf and is only 2lb higher than when staying on late over shorter at Chelmsford two starts ago.

Form: 121323-

(7)

Silver Dixie^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: P Hedger| OR: 65

25/1

11lb lower than at the time of his last win in July 2015 but has seemed generally regressive since and has plenty to prove now returning to this trip.

Form: 4/989-05

(4)

Mam'selle⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas| OR: 72

10/3

Slightly disappointing on handicap debut last time having made a winning start to her career in a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to soft). Didn't seem to have the race run to suit last time and could have more to offer now up in trip.

Form: 15

(3)

Jersey Bull^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: M Madgwick| OR: 60| D

100/1

No win on turf since May 2014 and has looked held by the handicapper on just about all of his most recent starts. Others hold much stronger claims.

Form: 945367

(6)

Al Jawza⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

14/1

No better (an if anything, perhaps a little worse) when stepped up in trip on handicap debut last time. Goes over further again today but seems likely to require further assistance from the handicapper.

Form: 6668

(9)

Theglasgowwarrior²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: M L W Bell| OR: 65

9/4

Has made a solid start to his handicap career, having finished second twice and run very well on each occasion. Up 2lb now but that shouldn't be a problem for him and he should be able to prove competitive this time around with an eye-catching jockey booking.

Form: 07022

(1)

Bermondsey Belle¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: L Wadham| OR: 65

9/2

Never seemed likely to win a maiden but wasn't disgraced in that company on four occasions, and looks on a fair opening mark now for her handicap debut, especially following a fine second over shorter at this course last time out.

Form: 59-52

Forecasts

Theglasgowwarrior (9/4), Mam'selle (10/3), Zorba The Greek (7/2), Bermondsey Belle (9/2), Bamako Du Chatelet (11/1), Al Jawza (14/1), Silver Dixie (25/1), Unsuspected Girl (50/1), Jersey Bull (100/1)

Since he switched to handicap company we have seen plenty of improvement from THEGLASGOWWARRIOR, and perhaps he can continue with that progression now. He's up 2lb compared to his last two runs but shaped with plenty of promise on those occasions and is partnered by William Buick for the first time, which is certainly an eye-catching booking. He is taken to deny Mam'selle, who could bounce back from a disappointing handicap debut last time, and Unsuspected Girl, who makes her first start for Brian Barr.
