Amandine²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75| BF

9/2

Has run to a similar level on her last three outings and she may be vulnerable to a more progressive sort.

Form: 932-36

Bowler Hat^v⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| BF

11/1

Has been running in handicaps and now meets rivals on less competitive terms as a result. Had little luck last time in a muddling race, but hard to see him finding the necessary improvement.

Form: 0-74254

Burford Brown^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer| OR: 73

8/1

Runner-up in a slowly run race at Beverley before his limitations were exposed at Newbury. Cheekpieces on this time and hard to fancy.

Form: 8-427

(5)

Jurz⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 76

15/8

Has progressed on his last two starts and stands out on official ratings. Needs to correct a tendency to shift left under pressure, but remains the one to beat..

Form: 3-822

Sir Commander^t1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

13/8

Flattered by his proximity to an 85-rated winner at Wolverhampton. Gelded since and in here with every chance judged on official ratings.

Form: 3-62

Forecasts

Sir Commander (13/8), Jurz (15/8), Amandine (9/2), Oswald (7/1), Burford Brown (8/1), Bowler Hat (11/1)

JURZ and Sir Commander have fewer convictions than their chief rivals. The latter is hard to evaluate having come out clear second best last time in a race lacking depth. The selection may have quirks but, assuming they are down to inexperience, he is given one last chance to open his account.
