12/1

On the comeback trail but very much leaving the impression he can still win races with his last couple of runs being better than his finishing position. Handicapper is starting to relent fairly quickly and this is a drop in grade; better expected.

Form: 13/8-896

14/1

Won easily at Bath last time but that victory came in a race that worked out rather well for him; now 7lb higher in a better race. Withdrawn on his last start when he became unruly in the stalls; well berthed here but not an obvious one to win again.

Form: 49-8561

Kasbah²¹

15/2

Rated lower on the turf than he is on the AW but that's for a reason and he's not won on this surface since 2014. Ran well enough last time on very quick ground at Bath but does look rather vulnerable off this mark.

11/4

In good form when he first joined this yard reeling off a handicap hat-trick and for the most part has shaped well this year (no wins). Ran one of his best races over C&D (ran into an unexposed one); needs to bounce back from a poor run last time.

Compas Scoobie^t,v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 78| D

16/1

Kept on the go this year (12 runs already) in a mixture of turf/AW outings but looking as though he out of sorts of late. Turned in a few good runs earlier in the year in better company and this will be the lowest mark he's run of this year.

Desert Fox²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Murphy| OR: 72

4/1

Dual AW winner earlier in the year over 6f this will be his first try over 5f although he's been running well enough after his last win to suggest he's worth a try at this trip. His run last time can be ignored (lost weight cloth); disqualified.

Form: 66132D

Anonymous John⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 66| D

7/1

Had improved run-to-run in his four turf outings this year looking as good on that surface as he does on the AW. Resumed winning ways back on the AW last time (best run for some while) under a good ride over 6f; now back at 5f under a penalty.

Glamorous Rocket⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 74| D

3/1

Had the look of one who would do better in handicaps and so it's proved winning three 5f contests off rising marks. Not beaten far last time in a bid to land the four-timer; could still have progress in her having proved herself off this mark.

Delagate This Lord (11/4), Glamorous Rocket (3/1), Desert Fox (4/1), Anonymous John (7/1), Kasbah (15/2), Outrage (12/1), Waseem Faris (14/1), Compas Scoobie (16/1)

A fairly small field for this 5f field and it remains to be seen how much effect the draw has here although Outrage could have been better served by a lower stall having looked to be on the way back and this is a drop in grade. Delagate This Lord needs turned in a rare poor run last time but looks the sort to bounce back having run with credit this year although he’s yet to win. The drop to 5f is an interesting move for Desert Fox who is another consistent sort with Anonymous John also dropping in trip under a penalty back on turf. GLAMOROUS ROCKET failed to land the four-timer at Haydock last time but she showed she can cope with this mark and is taken to get back on the winning trail.
