Honourbound³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 60

11/2

Improved with each run so far and makes his handicap debut off a fair mark going up in trip. Would be interesting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 066

Lexington Empire^b1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 58

7/2

not shown a great deal in four starts so far including on handicap debut off 2lb higher last time. Blinkers added now but others make more appeal at present.

Form: 00-98

(7)

Pass Mark⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Fresu| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 58

14/1

Down the field in three maidens before plugging on the one-pace on handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good) last time. Goes up in trip today but needs to do much more to be involved.

Form: 90-96

Javelin^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 57

8/1

Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect when staying on over 7f here last time to finish fourth. Goes up in trip here and has place claims at least with promise of more to come.

Form: 5-79994

River Cafe¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Kirk| OR: 56

9/1

Best effort so far when staying on for fourth at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time. Down another 2lb and this extra trip should help. Capable of better at some stage, if not today.

Form: 477-774

Percy Prosecco⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 56| BF

2/1

Slowly getting the hang of things and went very close over C&D when last seen back in May. Nudged up 2lb for not winning but that is the best piece of form on offer here and should go very close again.

Form: 090-32

(2)

Parable¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 51

25/1

Well beaten in his first two starts in handicaps. Needs to do an awful lot more before becoming of interest.

Form: 868076

(3)

Lady Grigio³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: A C Whillans| OR: 50

20/1

Shaped with a little more promise on handciap debut at Hamilton (1m½f, good to firm) last month. Step up in trip may help and should be some improvement to come.

Form: 9-770

(12)

Blyton Lass³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: J G Given| OR: 50

20/1

0/5 and yet to finish within 12 lengths of a winner. Hard to recommend at this stage until she starts to show a bit more.

Form: 7679-5

(5)

Sweet Dreams¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hughes| OR: 46

16/1

Hasn't shown a great deal in three starts so far over sprint trips. Has a pedigree that suggests she should be a bit better than a 46 rated filly though so very interesting if money comes for her on handicap debut.

Form: 966

Forecasts

Percy Prosecco (2/1), Lexington Empire (7/2), Honourbound (11/2), Javelin (8/1), River Cafe (9/1), Makin It (10/1), Pass Mark (14/1), Sweet Dreams (16/1), Blyton Lass (20/1), Lady Grigio (20/1), Parable (25/1), Galloping Hogan (25/1), Glacier (33/1)

Plenty of these have yet to show a great deal and it is not hard to construct a solid case for PERCY PROSECCO. A repeat of his effort over C&D last time should be enough to win this. Any money for Sweet Dreams at the bottom of the weights may well be significant as she is bred to be better than her opening mark. Honourbound maybe the best of the rest on his handicap debut.
