Just Glamorous¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Harris| OR: 107| D

12/1

Well-beaten in Group/Listed races this summer but not much better in valuable handicaps. This is tougher than the Leicester race he placed in last time out.

Form: 900012

(6)

Spring Loaded¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 102| C

7/2

Consistent performer over both this trip and 6f this season, going up in the weights as a result but handling those rises well. Won the Portland Handicap here in September and is a key player again.

Form: 025312

Global Applause¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 98| D

16/1

Group placed as a juvenile but not at that level in two runs so far this year; too high in the handicap on the basis of those performances.

Form: 3483-35

(16)

East Street Revue^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 94| D

10/1

Up 5lb for a taking victory at York last time out. Beat an even bigger field there but needs to improve again to double up here, though ground and track should suit.

Form: 408641

(5)

Soie D'leau¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: T Hamilton| T: Kristin Stubbs| OR: 93| CD

25/1

Last year's winner but doesn't arrive here in the same form as 12 months ago. Ground versatile but needs a revival here in order to figure.

Form: 802150

(7)

Foxy Forever^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 92| D

20/1

Consistent performer who has been running some fair races on the AW but has never won off a mark this high and would not want any further rain.

Form: 511241

Orion's Bow⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 92| D

9/1

Yet to truly fire for this trainer since moving to this yard earlier in the year, and needs to return to something like his best form to figure here.

Form: 350007

(3)

Atletico¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 91| BF| D

15/2

Useful sprint handicapper in less classy affairs than this, not disgraced at York last time out but was beaten favourite there and needs a better performance here.

Form: 351508

(17)

Tomily⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 91| D

28/1

No win on turf since the fourth run of his career. Has run well in some weaker handicaps than this recently but a way off the required level for this.

Form: 584450

(9)

Erissimus Maximus^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 90| D

10/1

Hat-trick seeker who won over the minimum trip at Ascot last time out. This looks tougher up 5lb and he won't have it his own way out in front this time.

Form: 721211

(8)

Boundsy²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89| D

7/1

Has won three of his last four starts (and beaten only a head on the AW on the other occasion), and remains a progressive performer. This requires a career best but he's going the right way to produce that.

Form: 221211

(4)

Coolfitch^v¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| D

66/1

Form has tailed off recently and is liable to struggle following some poor showings in similar quality affairs to this, despite a slightly lower mark.

Form: 520007

(12)

Rasheeq¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 87

14/1

Sole career win came in August 2015 and despite some good efforts this year he probably wants it softer than it;s likely to be and is best watched.

Form: 300327

(14)

Confessional^b,e/s⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-3| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

20/1

Consistently runs nice races in defeat but only win in the last year was a weaker race than this. Perhaps vulnerable to a younger type here.

Form: 337343

Paddy Power¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-0| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

9/1

On a hat-trick having won both over 5f (heavy) and 6f (good), so clearly a versatile performer. On the improve but the lowest draw not always easy in these handicaps.

Forecasts

Spring Loaded (7/2), Boundsy (7/1), Atletico (15/2), Paddy Power (9/1), Orion's Bow (9/1), Erissimus Maximus (10/1), East Street Revue (10/1), Just Glamorous (12/1), Rasheeq (14/1), Lincoln (14/1), Global Applause (16/1), Exceed The Limit (16/1), Confessional (20/1), Foxy Forever (20/1), Soie D'leau (25/1), Tomily (28/1), Coolfitch (66/1)

A competitive affair as is to be expected, where perhaps BOUNDSY can come out on top. Unlike many of these he seems to still be progressing, and hasn't been out of the first two in his last six runs, winning three of them. His handicap mark is predictably going up as a result but trip and ground should suit and everything looks set for another big run. Portland Handicap winner Spring Loaded has run well at York since that course success and demands consideration, while East Street Revue needs further improvement but should still be on the premises.
