Rock Warbler^h,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 60| D

3/1

Better known for AW exploits, but has been running creditably in better class races on turf this summer, and handicapper has given him a chance. Every chance dropped to 0-60 level here.

Form: 863455

Aqua Libre²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J Candlish| OR: 59| D

6/1

Won at Bath in May, and has generally run with credit since, albeit looking summed up by her current mark. This represents a slightly easier task, though. so can't be ruled out.

Three C's^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| BF

14/1

Belatedly made the breakthrough in a 0-55 handicap at Lingfield (7f, good/firm) on penultimate start, winning by a wide margin. Well held there next time, though, and not easy to know what to expect now.

Big Bad Lol¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 54

11/4

Back to form when placed over further here in July, and built on that when runner-up in big-field 1m handicap at Yarmouth last time. Likely to continue in form, and one to consider now back in the groove.

Form: 1-56832

Mr Cool Cash²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Philip Prince⁽³⁾| T: R C Guest| OR: 51| D

14/1

Not gone on from a fair return this year, and no upturn in fortunes since having wind surgery before penultimate outing, finishing well down the pack at Beverley last time..

Form: 0-50890

Pastamakesufaster^p⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J L Flint| OR: 55

33/1

Sole success came in a valuable two-year-old contest at Goodwood (7f, soft) last September. Not replicated that form seven subsequent outings. Return to this trip may help.

Form: 5-58090

Captain Marmalade^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Mahon⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 50| D

25/1

Comfortable winner of a 1m handicap at Brighton last September, and excuses on final 2017 outing. Stepped up on this season's earlier efforts when a staying-on fourth at Salisbury last time, and not without a chance if building on that.

Form: 510-074

(6)

Captain Sedgwick²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Bentley| T: J L Spearing| OR: 48| CD

7/2

Successful over 7f at Chepstow on her penultimate start. Didn't convince with stamina upped to 1m1f at Yarmouth subsequently and drop back to this trip is in her favour.

Form: 86-8415

Millie May³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S Hitchcott| T: J C Fox| OR: 45

66/1

Nearer last than first on all starts so far, and big surprise if she could get involved here.

Form: 0/080-08

(2)

Bond Angel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: N Mackay| T: P D Evans| OR: 49| BF

6/1

Placed twice from six starts, most recently when beaten a neck over 1m at Chepstow last month. Finished fourth over the same C&D subsequently, but beaten a fair way there, and must bounce back.

Form: 658-324

Forecasts

Big Bad Lol (11/4), Rock Warbler (3/1), Captain Sedgwick (7/2), Aqua Libre (6/1), Bond Angel (6/1), Three C's (14/1), Mr Cool Cash (14/1), Captain Marmalade (25/1), Lone Voice (25/1), Pastamakesufaster (33/1), Millie May (66/1)

ROCK WARBLER has been running with credit in better company for much of the summer, and a drop to this lowly level could well see him back to winning ways. Big Bad Lol appears the most likely beneficiary should the selection falter, although Captain Sedgwick and Captain Marmalade both have claims if building on recent promise.
