Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75| D

12/1

Impressive maiden winner over 6f at Redcar (good to firm) in June but disappointing on handicap debut off this mark earlier this month at Newmarket (good). Too soon to be writing him off.

Form: 530-217

3/1

AW maiden winner in June at Chelmsford and off the mark in handicaps at Yarmouth latest (6f, soft). Been raised only the minimum for that win and suspicion this likely sounder surface will help.

Form: 41571

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 73| BF| D

13/2

Become a little frustrating in three starts this season, failing to show his best form. Gets first-time cheekpieces now and Ryan Moore (won maiden in sole previous ride) is back on board.

Form: 219-644

Pastfact¹¹

5/1

Gelding is on a roll now, winning his last three starts including at Chepstow latest when upped to this 6f trip. Is rated 13lb higher as a result, but no certainty he's finished just yet.

Form: 0-74111

Chica De La Noche^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: S Dow| OR: 70| D

9/4

Filly gained first turf win in 6f Salisbury handicap 11 days ago, under a fine ride from the champion jockey. Was hanging on at the end, goes up 3lb here and sports first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 5-57731

Seprani^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti| OR: 69| D

7/1

Has plenty to find based on three previous turf outings, filly tends to do her best work on the AW and yard have been out for form lately, others have stronger claims.

Form: 5-33315

Baby Gal¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 59| D

12/1

Was 4L behind Chica De La Noche at Salisbury latest, previous two efforts at Lingfield (first on AW, second on good) had been promising but, overall, hard to trust and no win in 11 runs.

Forecasts

Chica De La Noche (9/4), Summerghand (3/1), Pastfact (5/1), Kings Academy (6/1), Loving (13/2), Seprani (7/1), Peace Dreamer (12/1), Baby Gal (12/1)

SUMMERGHAND scored a first turf success at Yarmouth last time out over this trip and, with potential for better still to come, is fancied to go in again having been raised only 1lb and with this likely slightly better surface expected to help. Pastfact, seeking a four-timer, is not easily overlooked but has shot up in the ratings achieving his hat-trick while Loving needs the cheekpieces and the return of Ryan Moore to bring about some improvement. Last time out winner Chica De La Noche is considered though the 3lb rise looks harsh given the winning margin was just a neck last time.
