Tangramm^p⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Yuga Kawada| T: D K Ivory| OR: 79| CD

10/1

Tends to go well here and has won at the course five times. Back below his last winning mark now and despite not going too well here on Sunday, this drop in trip should suit and hard to dismiss.

Form: 187686

Mr Red Clubs^h²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: H Tett| OR: 73| CD

66/1

Looked in need of the run on return to action at Newbury (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago. Step back up in trip here should suit for this previous C&D winner and is lurking on his last winning mark.

Form: 61380-4

White Turf³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

7/1

Shown promise on all three starts so far and makes a fair amount of appeal on handicap debut today on what looks a decent opening mark. Rider claims a handy 3lb and a leading player.

Nutini⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: M S Saunders| OR: 67| BF

16/1

Winner at Brighton (7f, good to firm) back in May but has struggled off higher marks the last twice. Goes up in trip now but may find a couple of these better handicapped.

Form: 33-5129

Grey Spirit⁸^{(ex 12)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 61| D

8/13

Typical yard improver once getting a trip in handicaps and has won his last two with ease. Another 6lb higher in the weights here but has multiple entires and should be very hard to beat once again.

Form: 690-11

Parting Clouds¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Wood| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 72

7/2

Street Cry filly that has shaped with promise on all three starts so far. Likely to appreciate this return to the AW and starts life in handicaps off a very tempting mark.

Form: 344

Forecasts

Grey Spirit (8/13), Parting Clouds (7/2), White Turf (7/1), Tangramm (10/1), Club Tropicana (12/1), Nutini (16/1), Mr Red Clubs (66/1)

This is very likely to go to one of the three-year-olds with White Turf and Parting Clouds both expected to be better than their opening marks. It's hard to get away from GREY SPIRIT who is on a large upward curve and can complete the hat-trick off this 6lb higher mark.
