Majboor²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: L P Keniry| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 84

9/2

Made all to win both starts this season and has obviously got the hang of things in handicaps. Up 7lb and tackling a new course, and distance, but has to be highly respected despite giving weight away all round.

Form: 3522-11

Ourmullion^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: J R Best| OR: 77| CD

16/1

Winner of a modest four-runner handicap at Nottingham in June but held in similar company since. However, he's already a three-time C&D winner, so would be dangerous to underestimate back at his favourite track, and reunited with Joey Haynes.

Recordman¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 81

6/5

Well-bred colt that represents powerful yard/connections. Made good progress in maidens and, given the form of his last start has been franked since, it's likely there is more to come now he goes handicapping. Has to be a player.

Form: 6323

Spanish History^t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: S Durack| OR: 71

33/1

Showed plenty of promise when making all to win a Windsor maiden last season but has yet to truly convince that he's trained on into his four-year-old campaign. Others preferred.

Form: 6/21-90

(2)

Rapier¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 78| D

4/1

Won his second start in a handicap in a comfortable manner and possible there's a good bit more to come. However, he's up 6lb and needs to better his only previous effort on this surface, so correct to have reservations about accepting cramped odds.

Form: 9-5041

(5)

True North^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 69| CD

4/1

Following a trusted path and has improved since being stepped up in trip. Responded well in first-time cheekpieces to win over C&D last time and has to merit an interest from just a 4lb higher mark.

Form: 707-521

Forecasts

Recordman (6/5), True North (4/1), Rapier (4/1), Majboor (9/2), The Eagle's Nest (12/1), Ourmullion (16/1), Spanish History (33/1)

Betting on anticipated improvement, RECORDMAN just edges out fellow three-year-olds Rapier and True North as the one to be on this time. The Godophin-owned colt has been consistent in maidens and novices events so far and benefits from a handy age allowance, which boosts his claims of making a successful handicap debut. Majboor will also be a threat if he's allowed an easy time on the front end. he too merits check in the betting.
