Star of Rory⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90

11/2

Has been quite highly tried and will appreciate this drop in grade, gets another drop in the weights after a moderate effort at York but proven on soft ground (unlike the others) and no surprise if he bounced back to form.

Form: 125-640

Time Chaser⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 86| C

6/5

2-2 and a winner here over a mile last time, and as a full sister to the smart Time Test, this step up in trip likely to prove a positive. Has claims to being better than a handicapper and if handling slower ground, could be a hard nut to crack.

Form: 11

Alwahsh¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85

7/2

Made all and won as easy as you like in a maiden at Nottingham in June but most disappointing when well beaten at Ascot latest. Possible he needs quicker ground to show his best and on that, others are preferred here.

Form: 8-2419

Glenys The Menace¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 82| D

11/4

Has won her last two and going up the grades as she does, but this represents by far her stiffest task to date and the handicapper has taken evasive action after her Chepstow romp last time. Not discounted, but probably needs to improve again.

Forecasts

Time Chaser (6/5), Glenys The Menace (11/4), Alwahsh (7/2), Dubawi Prince (7/2), Star of Rory (11/2)

Only five runners, but a decent pace almost assured with Dubawi Prince and Alwahsh in attendance, and that should suit Time Chaser, very well bred and should be up to taking this en route to better things. Dubawi Prince may be able to return to form after a short break, and he probably didn't run his race last time. He can't be afforded too much rope on the front or he could be hard to peg back. Glenys The Menace keeps improving and may be able to take third.
