Intense Tango^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| CD

16/1

Certainly hasn't shown her best this year although she did look as though there was some slight improvement last time out. It should be noted that she was successful from a much higher mark over C&D last year but not really done enough to suggest full recovery.

Form: 408005

High On Light²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 77| CD

7/1

Her run to win here over C&D off a 4lb lower mark last time was just reward for a good spell of form. She made all to be a little better than the bare form will show although she may be vulnerable to anything younger and improving.

Form: 225231

Always Resolute¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: C R King| T: B Ellison| OR: 76| CD

14/1

In good form last year winning on three occasions and runs well here have won twice at the course (once over C&D). Given a long break now after running in a higher grade on last start of season and only recently returned to the track.

Form: 12930-4

Takbeer^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 74

10/1

Step up in trip helped to end a long losing run when he scored on his penultimate start at Newbury having the run of the race. Proved that run wasn't a fluke when he ran well over C&D last time out off a 3lb higher mark and respected here.

Form: 926712

Monaco Rose^h²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

14/1

Winner of back-to-back handicaps earlier in the season showing that she could handle different ground and she has run with credit since. A rare poor effort last time out needs to be overcome and she could be vulnerable off this mark.

Form: 423435

Hawridge Flyer²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: W S Kittow| OR: 79

3/1

Lightly-raced three-year-old who showed plenty of promise in maidens when gradually stepped up in trip and made the most of an easier opportunity last time out. Makes his handicap debut here stepping up in trip again and is an interesting sort.

Form: 3-231

(12)

Fulham¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Brisland| OR: 77

14/1

The most inexperienced runner in the field having scored on his second start in an AW maiden over 1m4f having learnt from his debut. That may not have been the strongest of contests though but he's clearly of interest on his handicap debut.

Form: 21

Normandie Attack^v³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 77

8/1

Another unexposed three-year-old who shaped well on handicap/AW debut last time out over 2f further than he goes here. Didn't appear to get home there and this 1m6f may well be more his trip having already had turf experience.

Form: 4224

Foresee⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67

50/1

Like a few of the stables recruits previously raced in France but hasn't shown an awful lot of promise despite a sliding mark and would be a surprising winner.

Form: 49-0875

(7)

Astute Boy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Martin Lane| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 74

4/1

Improving steadily run by run in handicaps and landed a 1m3f contest at Yarmouth last time showing a very good attitude. Up 5lb for that win and takes on a better grade here tackling a new trip but could well be in the mix.

Form: 668-221

(3)

Incus¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 64| D

16/1

Made all to win at Ffos Las last time out recording his third win of the season but he was seen to best effect there and won't find life as easy here from 1lb out of the handicap. This is also more competitive and a fourth win of the season looks unlikely.

Form: 117201

(9)

Nordic Combined²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: B Ellison| OR: 68

20/1

There was a slight hint of promise in his comeback run this year but has looked hard work since in three runs (also tried in headgear). Plenty to prove here and not one that is expected to figure.

Form: 91-5290

Forecasts

Hawridge Flyer (3/1), Astute Boy (4/1), High On Light (7/1), Normandie Attack (8/1), Takbeer (10/1), Always Resolute (14/1), Monaco Rose (14/1), Fulham (14/1), Incus (16/1), Intense Tango (16/1), Nordic Combined (20/1), Foresee (50/1)

It looks as though the three-year-olds hold the advantage here with two of them on their handicap debuts and expected to run well, There may well be a doubt about the fitness of Fulham and for that reason HAWRIDGE FLYER is given the nod in this having shown up well in all his runs with the promise of more to come. Astute Boy should also be given credit for his form this year and this trip may well suit him after he showed a good attitude to win last time out. Of the older horses Always Resolute could well step forward on his reappearance and High On Light can’t be written off based on her run here last time out.
