Lustrous Light^p1⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95| D

8/1

Has run well in valuable handicaps recently, including when not beaten too far in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. Has the potential to be a big player on that form in first time cheekpieces.

Form: 540733

(4)

Burguillos¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R L Moore| T: A King| OR: 95

13/2

Didn't start well and probably drawn in the wrong place when finishing last of all in an Ascot handicap in July. Off since but was progressive prior to that and has a top jockey back in the saddle.

Form: 32-1220

(2)

Ooty Hill^h³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 94

13/2

Raced too keenly on his first start for almost two years at Newmarket in September, still out ran his odds but needs to improve on that return here.

Form: 1258/4

(6)

First Flight³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: G Mosse| T: H Main| OR: 92

16/1

No victory since July 2014 and yet to prove himself for this trainer following some underwhelming efforts over shorter trips this summer.

Form: 0/27680

Mukhayyam^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 91| D

16/1

In fine form in the early part of the season but not so good recently. Possibly found his handicap ceiling but is starting to slip back down the ratings now and this seems to be his trip.

Form: 115093

Rainbow Rebel¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 88| BF

25/1

Hasn't been given too much help by the handicapper of late but has been holding his own in similar races to this. Ground versatile and steps up in trip here.

Form: 642255

(3)

Jelly Monger¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 84

20/1

No Flat win since September 2014 and seems to be a more useful performer over hurdles these days despite some fair efforts in weaker Flat handicaps than this.

Form: 535739

(7)

Reshoun⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: Ian Williams| OR: 86

3/1

Beaten only narrowly in two handicaps over this trip recently. Up 6lb now and this looks tougher but he arrives here in form and with more improvement a distinct possibility.

Form: 626723

(9)

Lawless Secret^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85| BF

2/1

Won a Windsor maiden on debut in August and has run two fair races in handicaps since. Needs to improve further here but seems generally progressive.

Form: 123

Forecasts

Lawless Secret (2/1), Reshoun (3/1), Burguillos (13/2), Ooty Hill (13/2), Lustrous Light (8/1), First Flight (16/1), Mukhayyam (16/1), Jelly Monger (20/1), Rainbow Rebel (25/1)

This can go to RESHOUN. Ian Williams' charge has been running very well recently and though he has a 6lb rise to contend with looks capable of further improvement in this more competitive affair. Jim Crowley is a perfect jockey booking in the circumstances, and he should be able to get the better of rivals which include Burguillos, who should go closer with a better break this time, and Mukhayyam, who needs to bounce back slightly but should be capable of doing so.
