Contingency Fee¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 61

20/1

Hasn't shown any great signs in trio of novice starts so far over 1m, goes up in trip for handicap debut and best watched unless betting suggests better is anticipated.

Form: 866

Woggle⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: G Deacon| OR: 60

50/1

Well beaten on all three starts three novice starts over 6f-7f, then tailed off on handicap bow over a mile at Windsor in June. Leaves questions to be answered going up in distance here.

Form: 9-580

Livingstones Quest⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 60

9/4

Clearly seems to appreciate some cut in the ground so any rain will be a bonus. Had been struggling prior to decent third at Windsor last week over this trip, interesting if he can build on it now.

Form: 7-57753

Unbridled Spirit³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 59| BF

4/1

Is potentially on a workable mark but recent efforts haven't suggested he's about to take advantage. Needs to get back to form shown when third over a mile here in May on soft ground.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 58| D

14/1

Has scored over this trip on turf at Lingfield and ran well there in second early this month. Seems one of the more likely contenders on the strength of that outing.

Foxangel²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 58

7/1

Improved effort on return to action when landing a 1m Leicester seller. Will need to raise the bar again over this longer trip to add to tally but capable of more.

Form: 080-1

Galloping Hogan⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Kirk| OR: 57

20/1

Is back on the same mark as when scoring at Leicester last autumn, though four runs since May have done little to merit suggestion he's going to take advantage of this mark currently.

Form: 71-6607

Macho Mover⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 51

5/2

Ready winner over 1m3f at Windsor on Sunday, carries a penalty for that success but would be dangerous to overlook credentials.

Homing Star⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J G Portman| OR: 55

33/1

Beaten some 22L at Windsor in June and, despite getting some needed relief from the assessor since, needs a bit turnaround to get competitive on return.

Form: 08-4950

Kingfast⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 52

10/1

Has been tried over a variety of trips since he went handicapping and produced his best efforts to date over this trip at Bath and Nottingham in May/June. Off since and will have to prove himself on softer ground.

Form: 59-4654

Miniature Daffodil^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: G Harris| OR: 51| D

25/1

Dual AW winner back in March/April over 1m2f but there are question marks over his subsequent form. Back in a handicap last time (first run for this yard) after seemingly running well in a claimer; was beaten 7L at Ffos Las. More needed.

Livingstones Quest (9/4), Macho Mover (5/2), Unbridled Spirit (4/1), Foxangel (7/1), Kingfast (10/1), Willingforshilling (10/1), Rainbow Jazz (14/1), Contingency Fee (20/1), Galloping Hogan (20/1), Miniature Daffodil (25/1), Homing Star (33/1), Caviar Royale (33/1), Woggle (50/1)

Macho Mover showed improved form to win at Windsor on Sunday and had plenty to spare. He's got to be respected again under a penalty. However, FOXANGEL was backed to make a winning return at Leicester in selling company last month and did so despite being caught much further back than ideal. He can defy this handicap mark to follow up. Rainbow Jazz has been in good form at Lingfield and is a credible threat while Livingstones Quest could potentially have more to offer.
