De Little Engine^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 65| CD

5/1

Has bagged two wins already this month (including one over C&D) and not beaten far when third off revised mark here recently. Handicapper may have his measure though so needs to take another step forward to score.

Showdance Kid^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 65| CD

10/3

Won over C&D in June off 4lb lower mark and only just failed to follow up at Lingfield a couple of weeks later. Returns from a mid-term break and won't be far away if in similar form.

Pushkin Museum²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 64| BF| C

20/1

Has won four times here over 6f but looked a non-stayer on his only previous attempt at this trip. Has changed stables of late and new handler is capable of improving them, but stamina question is a concern.

Viola Park^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 63| CD

14/1

Won over C&D in February off 6lb lower mark and went in again over ths trip at Kempton in May. Has looked to be weighted to the hilt on latest starts though and may need to ease a few pounds before returning to the winners enclosure.

Counter Spirit⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: I Mohammed| OR: 63

5/2

Lightly raced Invincible Spirit filly who showed modest form in three novice stakes before running well last time on handicap bow to finish second at Yarmouth. Might do better at a mile in time, but is respected here and may not be far away.

Form: 43-72

(8)

Artscape²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62

40/1

Won twice last term over 6f for Dean Ivory and may have needed run after nine-month break when well beaten on return here earlier this month. Feasibly handicapped on pick of form but is not certain to see out this trip.

Form: 36695-8

Tennessee Belle¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: J Tate| OR: 62

18/1

Three runs at a mile to qualify for a mark and may be better suited by this 7f on handicap bow. Represents decent trainer and has been allotted a fair mark so could go well.

Form: 77-4

(9)

Pass The Cristal²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 61| D

16/1

Landed three handicaps last year but has struggled off higher marks so far this term and was last of 12 on latest run. Hard to enthuse over in current form.

Form: 154-870

(12)

Grey Destiny¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| CD

14/1

In good form last winter winning twice over C&D but not in the same shape of late and looks up against it if recent efforts are anything to go by.

Form: 595760

The King's Steed^t,v1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: S Lycett| OR: 58| C

7/1

Just 3-33 to date but failed by just a short-head to add to that tally over C&D last time out. 2lb higher now but a similar effort would place him right in the mix.

Form: 130302

(7)

Nellie's Dancer^p²⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 55

33/1

Has near nine-month absence to overcome and makes debut at this track. Fair form on AW elsewhere though so no reason why shouldn't handle the surface but fitness might be an issue.

Forecasts

Counter Spirit (5/2), Showdance Kid (10/3), De Little Engine (5/1), The King's Steed (7/1), Grey Destiny (14/1), Viola Park (14/1), Pass The Cristal (16/1), Tennessee Belle (18/1), Pushkin Museum (20/1), Nellie's Dancer (33/1), Alqalsar (33/1), Artscape (40/1)

This looks a wide open event but TENNESSEE BELLE is the suggestion as she makes her handicap debut at this modest level and is open to improvement. De LIttle Engine and The King's Steed shouldn't be far away, while the likes of Counter Spirit and Showdance Kid are also of interest.
