Dropped away tamely when making a hurdling debut on soft ground at Uttoxeter recently but had earlier shown up well in successive 1m6f events on the Flat from this mark. Should find a race before long and dangerous to dismiss.

Came right back to form when winning easily over 1m4f here last month. Just found wanting in similar events from a 5lb higher mark since, but dropped 2lb now. Slight stamina query to answer as he steps up in distance.

Proven C&D performer having scored from a similar mark in December and shaped well on return from a break over 1m4f here last month. Didn't act on heavy ground last time but very much of interest back on the AW.

4/1
Long-standing maiden who has returned from a lengthy absence to produce two commendable third-place efforts over 1m4f here in recent weeks. Stays this longer trip and likely to make presence felt from his lowly mark.

One-time inmate with Dermot Weld who won on his debut for this yard over 1m4f here two years ago (7lb higher mark). Injury problems since but signs that he is on his way back over 1m4f here latest, though draw not ideal.

Enjoyed a good summer over hurdles, winning twice on good ground, and also scored back on the Flat at Musselburgh (extended 1m4f, good to firm) last month. Third off this mark at Pontefract since and respected over a longer trip now.

16/1
A winner at Goodwood earlier in the year, he also landed a 1m3f event at Ripon in August before finishing second from this mark at Kempton last time out. (1m3f) Worth a try over this longer trip and remains feasibly-treated.

Experienced performer who has only won four times from 58 starts but has placed on numerous occasions from higher marks than this. Decent effort from 2lb higher at Newcastle last time and not dismissed despite never having won over a trip this far.

Better known for his exploits over hurdles and recent Flat display at Chepstow was most disappointing. Drops back in trip, which could help, but overall profile suggests he will do well to get seriously involved.

Poor on her last two starts and would be hard to support on that evidence. Has gone well here previously, however, but appeared to need all of 2m when gaining her sole victory earlier in the year.

25/1
A winner over 7f for Rae Guest last year who handled a step up in trip when winning over 1m4f here back in the spring (same mark as today). Hasn't really kicked on from that, however, and something to prove stepping up in trip.

11 race maiden under all codes, didn't really see his race out over 2m on AW at Kempton earlier in the month and also struggled here latest. Had earlier found Hussar Ballad 5L too good over 1m4f so looks up against it.

9/4
Won a Brighton handicap over 1m2f (good to firm) in the summer and has been gelded since. Probably produced a career-best effort when a close third over 1m4f at Kermpton latest and shapes as though this longer trip will suit. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

About Glory (9/4), Singular Quest (4/1), Costa Percy (4/1), Tyrolean (17/2), Surround Sound (12/1), Hussar Ballad (14/1), Captain Swift (14/1), Strictly Art (16/1), Infiniti (25/1), Innish Man (28/1), The Last Melon (40/1), Dream Serenade (80/1), Rocky Elsom (100/1)

Verdict

Strictly Art, About Glory and Singular Quest all boast various form-lines to make them interesting but there is arguably even more to like about COSTA PERCY. A dual winner for Jennie Candlish since switching yards in the summer, the three-year-old won at Musselburgh before producing a cracking third-place effort from an outside draw over 1m4f at Pontefract last time. With this step up in trip sure to work in his favour, he remains one to be interested in off his present mark.
