C'Est No Mour¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: R Winston| T: P Hedger| OR: 81| BF| D

7/2

Without a win this season, but did not shape too badly at Epsom last time. Not ruled out, but has a bit to find despite his fair handicap mark.

Form: 823583

Jelly Monger³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 78| C

28/1

Only reasonable efforts on the Flat and over hurdles this year. Needs to step up on last month's Leicester fourth off 1lb lower.

Form: 397-554

Past Master⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: H Candy| OR: 77| D

11/10

Goodwood winner in June and ran well again to be second of five off 4lb higher at Doncaster. More required following another 2lb hike, but is a solid contender with a top-class pilot on board.

Form: 4/2-6412

(7)

Ship Of The Fen^b1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 83

7/2

Returning from a break when well beaten at Kempton last month, but his earlier form gives him each-way claims off 2lb lower in first-time blinkers.

Form: 16-1530

(2)

Zillion¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 72| D

5/1

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when winning a Chepstow handicap in emphatic fashion. Up 8lb in a better contest, but looks to be seriously on the upgrade.

Form: 47-71

Forecasts

Past Master (11/10), C'Est No Mour (7/2), Ship Of The Fen (7/2), Dorella (4/1), Crystal King (9/2), Zillion (5/1), Jelly Monger (28/1)

Crystal King would make a mockery of this rating if living up to his breeding, but he was poor last time and preference is for PAST MASTER, who is in fine form and progressive. Zillion bolted up at Chepstow and could be dangerous off his higher rating, while Dorella is respected stepped up in distance.
