Bit Of A Quirke¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: S De Sousa| T: M Walford| OR: 72| BF| D

4/1

Won four on the bounce in June and July, and while it's easy to conclude that he's now in the handicapper's grip after a laboured effort at Beverley last time, possibly undone by tactics there, and could bounce back.

Majrooh^t,v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: G Peckham| OR: 69| CD

4/1

Has dropped below his last winning mark, and hinted he was capable of taking advantage when runner-up at Pontefract last time, albeit helped by way that race panned out. Top jockey booked and visor refitted now.

Trulee Scrumptious^v⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 69| CD

7/1

Has gained all six career wins on July course, and back in the groove over 1m here last month. Drop to 7f against her last time, and not taken lightly back up in trip.

My Boy Sepoy⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Fran Berry| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| BF

10/3

Winner over 1m at Bath in May, and bettered that form in defeat at Nottingham next time. Just a respectable fourth here on latest start, but step up in trip could unlock further improvement.

Love To Breeze⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 69

2/1

Showed some ability in qualifying runs, but much improved when close second to Maid Up on handicap bow at Goodwood in June. Winner placed in Group 2 since, and she looks very well treated in hindsight.

Form: 8-662

(3)

Overtrumped²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: M Murphy| OR: 57

16/1

Yet to build on mild promise shown on her first outing last year, and took a backward step when down the field on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month.

Form: 70-08

Love To Breeze (2/1), My Boy Sepoy (10/3), Majrooh (4/1), Bit Of A Quirke (4/1), Trulee Scrumptious (7/1), Overtrumped (16/1)

LOVE TO BREEZE was seven lengths clear of the others when beaten by Maid Up on her handicap debut, and with that filly now rated 105 after finishing second in the Lillie Langtry, it's easy to conclude that she is thrown in here off just 69. My Boy Sepoy and Majrooh are taken to follow her home.
