Dagian⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 72

9/2

Just the one run this campaign when a 6L second over 1m here in July behind an easy winner. Step up in trip may suit on handicap debut and sure to strip fitter now. Yard in good form so has to be considered.

Form: 75-2

I'm A Star⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: S C Williams| OR: 70

33/1

Maiden was tailed off in consecutive races when last seen in the Spring. Returns off a lower mark but would want to see more before recommending him.

Form: 528-409

Mystic Meg¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer| OR: 70

12/1

7f Thirsk maiden winner kept on over 1m here last time out suggesting she was worth a go over this sort of trip. 4lb ease helps her out too so chance is she stays.

Form: 2-1084

Camomile Lawn^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68| D

9/2

Yarmouth winner in June has run well in all three subsequent starts making the frame in each. Handicapper keeps up the pressure so again a place more likely than a win despite first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 0-31332

Beat The Judge³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 68

8/1

Stayed on well here in a 1m novice race when third before latest effort where he couldn't get competitive in first handicap at Newmarket over 1m. First try over this trip but suspect handicap still high enough.

Form: 8936

Lopito³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

3/1

Noted staying on in fourth on handicap debut at Wolverhampton over 1m½f. Bred to get this longer trip and it could bring about a good bit of improvement so bold bid expected today.

Form: 8-444

(8)

Chikoko Trail²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 67

6/1

1m Pontefract winner looked sure to relish further there but disappointing since including twice over longer trips. Not given up on him just yet over this sort of distance and jockey booking a notable positive.

Form: 431554

Physical Power²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 67

20/1

Not seen since January and could never get seriously competitive for Richard Hannon. Hard to fancy on balance of form especially after the layoff.

Form: 093-54

(10)

Demurrer²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 66

9/1

Made a winning return over 1m1f at Lingfield when holding on narrowly. Unable to follow up next at Pontefract with an extra 4lb added over this trip. Same mark today so must find more.

Form: 7877-14

Perfect Refuge⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 63

20/1

Maiden was last of five in her handicap debut at Salisbury when stepped up to this trip although the winner that day has bolted up since. Has to show she stays this far and weak finisher in all races.

Form: 5595

Hilight¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 57

20/1

Form seems to have regressed lately after a couple of fair efforts earlier in the campaign at Lingfield. Will need to improve significantly for this step up in trip if he's to feature.

Form: 629567

Lucky Reset³⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 56

50/1

Beaten 10L plus in all three starts last summer with 100/1 odds in the latest two. No encouragement found there and starts out for a new yard now.

Form: 000-

Forecasts

Lopito (3/1), Camomile Lawn (9/2), Dagian (9/2), Chikoko Trail (6/1), Debatable (6/1), Beat The Judge (8/1), Demurrer (9/1), Mystic Meg (12/1), Dame Vera (14/1), Perfect Refuge (20/1), Physical Power (20/1), Hilight (20/1), I'm A Star (33/1), Lucky Reset (50/1)

LOPITO looked like he would be a different proposition over this sort of trip latest when running on well at Wolverhampton and gets the vote here for the prolific Andrew Balding yard. The pair of Debatable and Dagian both merit serious consideration on their respective handicap debuts with slight preference for the former.
