Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 67| C| D

9/1

Won here back in 2014 but was second behind a clear-cut winner here three starts back. Easy win back at Lingfield last time and does reserve his best runs for that course. Should be in the mix but tougher under penalty.

My Fantasea^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 71| C

6/4

Typical improvement came since joining this stable who do so well with their imports. Has moved sharply up in the weights for those two wins and was well held last start on turf. Likes this course but this trip stretches his stamina.

Song Of Love^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: S A Harris| OR: 67| D

12/1

Fifth over the C&D last time and a bit to find with Attain and Enmeshing from that. Perhaps would prefer a stronger test of stamina than this.

Form: 47-7125

(2)

Omotesando^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 67| C| D

7/1

Doesn't look particularly well handicapped at present and was well beaten on reappearance at long odds. Probably best watched for now.

Form: 29519-0

Enmeshing²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 64| D

11/1

Now 9lb lower than sole win on final start for James Fanshawe but showed up better last time just behind Attain over this C&D after previously struggling over hurdles. Can be competitive again off same mark.

Form: 5/1-8073

Spiritual Man^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Fran Berry| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 63

6/1

Didn't take to this course on two previous starts and improved when winning at Lingfield. Latest effort suggested a step up to this trip will help and can be involved if transferring the form to this track.

Form: 69/0613

The Yank²²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 60| C

50/1

Seasonal reappearance and return to the Flat after last year's summer jumping campaign. Resumes on a good marlk, 1lb lower than last win, however ideally needs further than this.

Form: 16437/0-

Warofindependence¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 53| CD

11/2

Broke through on start number 16 over the C&D and now returns under a 6lb penalty. Had previously plummeted in the weights so can remain competitive off this mark and won with plenty in hand.

Form: 597031

Forecasts

My Fantasea (6/4), Warofindependence (11/2), Spiritual Man (6/1), Omotesando (7/1), Attain (9/1), Enmeshing (11/1), Song Of Love (12/1), The Yank (50/1)

Attain was second on his last visit here and while he should go well after a nice win at Lingfield he may struggle to confirm placings with Enmeshing on these terms. Both look dangers however preference is for WAROFINDEPENDENCE who did well to quicken from the rear off a slow pace when winning over this C&D and there should be more to offer now.
