Narjes^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 62

10/1

Her mark is falling quickly after some below par efforts this spring and she looked far from happy on this track when she raced here in May, hanging under pressure. Not hard to look elsewhere in her current frame of mind.

Woodukheleyfit¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Mahon⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 62

20/1

Lightly raced and did win as a 2yo, handicapper immediately gives him a chance after his Wolverhampton effort last time but it wasn't terrible and it came off the back of a long absence. Should strip fitter here and isn't ruled out.

Form: 0146/9

Limerick Lord^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60| D

5/1

Best known for his exploits on Southwell's Fibresand but is just at home here, only beaten a length over 7f here in May and this trip suits just as well. Bit below par last time so needs to bounce back, but that's not impossible.

With Approval^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 58| CD

7/2

Has a great record here, three wins and four places from 12 starts, one of those victories coming on his latest start here where he outbattled Fintech for a narrow win. Handicapper sensible with a 3lb rise and should go well again.

Form: 595-321

Robert The Painter^b¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 55| D

12/1

Hard to win with, last win coming in 2014 and although he went close here over 7f in May, he's simply too inconsistent to be looked at as the likely winner. May pop up again one day, but you'll be broke backing him by the time he does.

Sharp Operator^h⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 54| CD

11/4

It's been a tale of steady improvement with him for much of the year, winner over C&D last time out (despite hanging) with the drop in trip proving no problem. 3lb rise for that but no saying he's finished winning yet. Not discounted.

Form: 133241

Hidden Stash^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 51| C

10/1

Go back to 2016 and there is a win on the card on this track, so handles it fine. Twice a winner in the winter but recent efforts rather suggest he 's gone off the boil, and it's not that hard to look at others for the winner.

Coachella^b³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 45| D

4/1

Looked to be going nowhere quickly until given a pair of blinkers at Bath at the weekend and he went and sprung a 40/1 surprise, getting on top late in the day. Can't be sure he'll follow that up, given overall profile, though.

Form: 6670-01

Forecasts

Sharp Operator (11/4), With Approval (7/2), Coachella (4/1), Limerick Lord (5/1), Hidden Stash (10/1), Narjes (10/1), Robert The Painter (12/1), Woodukheleyfit (20/1)

Without Approval looks nailed on to once again run a good race but LIMERICK LORD also has good track form and might be allowed his own way up front here. If that's the case, he might take a bit of pegging back. Coachella needs to prove her win at the weekend wasn't a fluke, and preference for the bronze is for Sharp Operator.
