Zeshov^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 70

5/1

Won a 1m handicap at Musselburgh last May and is well weighted on that effort. Recent efforts have not been to that standard, however, and cheekpieces are refitted.

Form: 8235-06

(2)

Caramuru^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 70

12/1

Making his stable and handicap debut when returning from a long break to finish seventh of 12 at Kempton last month. Has room for improvement and cheekpieces are fitted for the first time.

Form: 34/0-7

Tee It Up Tommo¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Steele| OR: 69| CD

20/1

Successful off a 2lb higher mark than this at Chelmsford last May, but was behind Caramuru at Kempton last time. Others have stronger claims.

Form: 14870-8

Prancing Oscar⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: B Haslam| OR: 68| CD

8/1

Looked to be progressing when winning over C&D in July, but could not build on that success in two subsequent outings. On a feasible mark if able to return to his best.

Form: 00413-6

The Third Man⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 66| CD

7/1

Last win came back in November, 2015. Returned from quite a long absence in February and ran well in the first of two outings during that month. Needs to find more off 2lb lower.

Form: 2849/49

(3)

Foie Gras^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 65| C

10/3

Has a decent career record on the AW and ran well to be fourth to an in-form performer over C&D last month under this jockey. Each-way claims off the same rating.

Form: 36960-4

(8)

Scribner Creek¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| BF| CD

5/2

Ahead of Foie Gras when a short head second over C&D last time. That rival is 2lb better off for a beating off just over 1L so there should be little between them.

Form: 55-D522

(4)

Man Of Verve^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63

10/1

Defied odds of 80-1 when shedding his maiden tag in a first-time hood at Newcastle last month. Up 3lb, but is lightly raced and has to enter calculations with the headgear retained.

Form: 1/D8-801

Forecasts

Scribner Creek (5/2), Foie Gras (10/3), Zeshov (5/1), The Third Man (7/1), Prancing Oscar (8/1), Ebbisham (8/1), Man Of Verve (10/1), Caramuru (12/1), Tee It Up Tommo (20/1)

Scribner Creek and Fois Gras ran well enough last time to suggest they can get involved in the finish again. There should be little between them on these terms, but both may be beaten by MAN OF VERVE, who caused a shock when winning at Newcastle last time and is only 3lb higher. Prancing Oscar and Caramuru are others worth considering.
