Wahaab^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Jacob Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 70| D

7/2

Has won for an inexperienced rider in the past and his last run can be discounted on account of the fast ground. Yet to make the frame from a mark of 70 or above so obviously faces a tough task.

Form: 688314

La Isla Bonita^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Scott McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 70| BF| CD

6/5

Both wins this term have come over C&D, and she rallied gamely to beat Chetan a month ago. Disappointing when turned out quickly, but has had a three week break and there is no obvious challenger for pace setting duties. Rider 4-14 this year.

Form: 451413

Glenn Coco^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonathan Fisher| T: S C Williams| OR: 66| BF| D

15/8

His AW form reads a lot better than his achievements on turf. He failed to get a clear run at Newmarket last time when a beaten favourite and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him a further 2lb.

Form: 13-8958

The Third Man^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jessica Cooley| T: H Spiller| OR: 62| D

7/1

Without a win since November 2015 and both successes have come over further on artificial surfaces. Beaten just over a length here two weeks ago but looked as though he needs at least a mile.

Form: 9/49484

Little Indian³³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 46| CD

25/1

Eight-time winner in his career and won over C&D back in 2013. Best recent efforts have come on the AW though and he's been out of form recently.

Forecasts

La Isla Bonita (6/5), Glenn Coco (15/8), King of Dreams (3/1), Wahaab (7/2), De Vegas Kid (9/2), The Third Man (7/1), Little Indian (25/1)

Stuart Williams persists in racing GLENN COCO on turf and it now looks posiible that the dual AW-winner has dropped to a competitive mark on this surface following his latest defeat at Newmarket when failing to secure a clear route. La Isla Bonita has been running well here all summer, whilst King Of Dreams keeps sliding down the weights but continues to prove to win with. De Vegas Kid has completed a hat-trick this year and could easily bounce back from a poor run last time when poorly drawn.
