Has shown improved form on his last two starts, going close from 2lb lower at Windsor and running to a similar level at Newbury last time. Should have a big say if he can make the most of an inside draw.
Dual C&D winner on good ground, including last month, when 3lb lower. Inconsistent since, but best form would entitled her to consideration.
Looked to be heading back in the right direction when beaten just over 2L into third at Redcar two starts ago, but couldn't back that up at Haydock last time. Same mark here, but drops in grade and is not written off.
Very easy winner of a modest Yarmouth handicap (1m, good to firm) in June. Similar effort when second at Ayr last time, upped to this grade. Steps up in trip, but dam won over this far, so may be able to find a bit more improvement. Considered.
14-race maiden. Placed in several handicaps from 1m2f-1m6f this season, but unable to find much in closing stages. Well held last time from this mark. Not fully exposed over this trip, but appeals more as an each-way prospect.
Has run with credit in four of her five starts, the last two in handicaps from this mark. More needed, but unexposed and entitled to enter calculations from a good draw.
Was doing his best work at the finish on handicap debut over this trip at Windsor last time. Drops 1lb and cheekpieces now fitted. Stable among the winners lately, so entitled to respect from decent draw.
Won a soft ground Beverley novice contest (7½f) 11-months ago, but is now on a nine-race losing run. Handicap mark tumbling, but hard to fancy despite that.
0-14 and a real in-and-out performer. Put up one of his better efforts last time when 1L second at Beverley. Up 1lb, but not without each-way appeal.
Forecasts
Returning Glory (10/3), Raaqyah (11/2), Winged Spur (6/1), Buckland Boy (6/1), Snowdon (7/1), Ventura Crest (7/1), Rhosneigr (9/1), Cheeky Rascal (10/1), Apple Anni (25/1)
An interesting contest where SNOWDON appeals, now stepped up to this trip and from a decent pitch. There are plenty of others with claims, including, Returning Glory, Winged Spur, Raaqyah and Buckland Boy, while the maiden Ventura Crest cannot be ruled out of the frame.
- Snowdon
- Returning Glory
- Winged Spur
