Showmethewayavrilo^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 62| CD

10/1

Has finished last on four of his five starts so far this year so despite the fact that his mark continues to fall, it is very hard to recommend him in this form.

Form: 8-00356

Jaganory^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 59| C| D

7/1

C&D winner last month, form that was reversed next time at Ffos Las, again went well here 10 days ago and return of Nicola Currie in the saddle is a plus factor.

Form: 523142

Chicago School^p⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 56| D

50/1

Won twice at Dundalk in Ireland this winter for previous connections but has shown little so far in this country and looks to face a tough task having been well beaten here in June and handicapper slow to relinquish grip. 0-8 on turf.

Form: 007068

Mad Endeavour^v1³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: W S Kittow| OR: 56| D

10/1

4-33 record in career so far, lacks for consistency overall and now closing on two years since he won on turf. Has failed to build on promising reappearance on Lingfield's AW in April in two starts since. First-time visor tried back on turf.

Form: 844-279

Tifl^b,t²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: H Main| OR: 55| CD

6/1

Winner of a couple of races in 2017 but has twice been withdrawn when a soft surface has been deemed unsuitable. Didn't run badly over 1m (soft) here on Thursday.

Form: 31-0765

Rebel Heart^v²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 55| C| D

10/3

Finished 2L third of eight over C&D on Thursday off this mark, remains 5lb higher than when scoring over this trip on soft going at Brighton in October but that was an encouraging run.

Form: 7401-53

(7)

Dodgy Bob^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 54| D

7/1

Best of his 2018 efforts have come over this C&D in two visits, including when ½L third of 11 in June on good to firm. Acts on softer going and while not as good in two starts since, is rated 2lb lower returning to a track he seems to like.

Form: 678358

Prominna^h¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53

12/1

Races from a workable handicap mark currently and not disgraced over this trip last time at Leicester on good to firm. Promise of some give in the ground now could aid the cause.

Form: 14-0434

Fantasy Justifier^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 48| CD

11/1

Back on workable mark but losing run now stands at 24 after AW defeat at Wolverhampton last week and likely would prefer sounder surface than is forecast here.

Form: 828806

(3)

Indiana Dawn^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 47

10/1

Now 0-14, mostly over longer trips but was also easily fended off over 5f (soft) around here in June and others make more appeal after recent AW defeat over extended-mile.

Form: 4338-49

(14)

Aragon Knight¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 47

25/1

Sole victory came in April 2016 and record now reads 1-26. Varying tactics in four starts this season haven't threatened to yield another success and has it to prove going back up to 6f.

Form: 780534

Born To Boogie⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 47| D

16/1

Just 1-16 so far, coming from off the pace to score of 6f at Brighton last month on good to firm off a mark of 46. Poor in three starts since and softer ground a potential worry.

Form: 451684

(11)

Black Truffle^h⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45| D

25/1

0-12 on turf so far in career, though did go close in May at Bath over 5½f on good ground from similar mark. Poor since, including in turf run at Windsor (good to firm) but cannot be crossed off entirely.

Form: 539757

(5)

Tally's Song^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: G Harris| OR: 45

33/1

33-race maiden now, has been mostly competitive in five starts this summer but doesn't tend to find much in the finish and remains vulnerable as such.

Form: 3-69055

(2)

Hell Of A Lady³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: J Farrelly| OR: 45

25/1

Struggled in all six starts so far most recently on seasonal and stable debut at Bath (1m, firm) a month ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 04300-4

(8)

Kath's Boy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

33/1

Maiden after 17 starts and had wind surgery since finishing 38L eighth of nine over 7f at Brighton (good-to-soft) in May. Didn't see out 7½f at Lingfield (good to firm) latest, may do better dropped in distance.

Form: 0-97585

Forecasts

Rebel Heart (10/3), Tifl (6/1), Dodgy Bob (7/1), Jaganory (7/1), Showmethewayavrilo (10/1), Mad Endeavour (10/1), Indiana Dawn (10/1), Fantasy Justifier (11/1), Prominna (12/1), Born To Boogie (16/1), Black Truffle (25/1), Aragon Knight (25/1), Hell Of A Lady (25/1), Kath's Boy (33/1), Tally's Song (33/1), Chicago School (50/1)

Last month's C&D winner Jaganory should go well back with here, with the return of Nicola Currie in the saddle a bonus. Rebel Heart ran well here on Thursday and could be coming to the boil while the inconsistent Dodgy Bob has reserved his best work in 2018 for this venue and isn't without a chance. Kath's Boy is having her second run after wind surgery and should find this trip more suitable but PROMINNA is on a workable mark now and went well enough last time at Leicester to suggest a bold bid on this expected softer ground could be possible, with Tom Marquand taking over the reins.
