15/8

Scored at York in July and handicapped slapped an 8lb rise on him, pulled too hard next time at Carlisle, possible he can bounce back and go well from new rating in weak event.

Charming Guest¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 74| D

7/2

Winner of novice events York and Bath earlier in the year but yet to make significant inroads in handicap company. Dropping in the weight and very promising 7lb claimer helps.

Glamorous Rocket²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 74| D

11/8

Front running sort record a hat-trick in June and comes here in excellent tune after near miss on the AW at Wolverhampton on Thursday. Could be tough to reel in here in small field.

Llamrei³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 51

8/1

Record now stands at 0-17, though tends to run consistent races in the main. May well do so again but not helped by being 4lb out of the handicap.

Form: 892334

Forecasts

Glamorous Rocket (11/8), Airglow (15/8), Charming Guest (7/2), Llamrei (8/1)

GLAMOROUS ROCKET likes to get on with things and could be hard to peg back here in this four-runner contest. She wasn't disgraced in a strong race on turf last time out and warmed up for this with a good run around Wolverhampton this week. Airglow, winner at York last month, is capable of defying his current mark too but he'll need to settle much better than he did at Carlisle. Charming Guest has struggled in handicaps so far but is dropping in the weights and gets a helping hand from Scott McCullagh's 7lb claim to assist now.
