Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| D

6/4

In good form for much of this season and while slightly below par when beaten 6L at Haydock (1m, good-to-firm) last time out he looks capable of bouncing back in this contest.

Form: 7-12234

Intense Style¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: S De Sousa| T: J L Eyre| OR: 78

4/1

Good third at Doncaster (1m, soft) on his penultimate outing and return to this trip should suit having finishing fifth over 1m1f at York (good-to-firm) last time out.

Form: 04-9735

13/8

Wore a visor (retained) for the first time when finishing a neck second over 1m2f on good-to-firm ground here last time out. Interesting having won over this C&D in May.

Kit Marlowe¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79

10/1

Winner on the AW just over a year ago but held in two starts on turf this term. Handicap mark is falling and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 2342-85

I'm Yer Man¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: P A Kirby| OR: 75

Victorious on the AW last December but struggled in two starts since joining this yard. Others hold stronger claims on this occasion.

Forecasts

Lamloom (6/4), Trinity Star (13/8), Storm Ahead (3/1), Intense Style (4/1), Magillen (11/2), Kit Marlowe (10/1), I'm Yer Man (25/1)

LAMLOOM has been running well in the main this campaign and he can record a second victory of the season by taking this competitive looking handicap. The selection has the forecast ground conditions in his favour and can take this with Storm Ahead, third on his two most recent appearance capable of finishing runner-up this time. Trinity Star won over this C&D earlier in the season and can finish third on this occasion.
