Navajo Star¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: R Brisland| OR: 71| BF| D

9/1

Admirable filly who always tends to run her race. 3lb higher than when winning at Wetherby in June and couldn't take advantage of an easier opening than this at Chelmsford (2m, AW) last week. Not one to dismiss lightly though.

Form: 2P4152

Rainbow Rising⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: D Menuisier| OR: 69

6/1

Has managed to finish third on all four of her runs so far this year and is closely matched with Navajo Star on their clash at Wetherby. Disappointed on turf at Lingfield last time and needs to bounce back but capable.

Form: 34-3333

Graceful Lady¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 69| D

10/1

Not having the best of runs of late but has fallen to a pretty attractive mark as a result. Needs to bounce back but would have a shout in this if doing so.

Form: 244556

Ardamir⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 68

10/3

On a fair mark and in good enough form having finished second the last twice. His finishing effort at times though is questionable and starting to worry if he actually wants to win. Likely to run well but probably opposable for win purposes.

Form: 946522

Galileo's Spear^b,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 67

12/1

Yet to win now in 11 starts for this yard and he seems handicapped to his ability. Likely to go well enough but equally as likely to find a couple too good.

Form: 234254

Fitzwilly¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 66| D

7/2

Still 4lbs higher than for his last win at Lingfield earlier in the summer. Stays very well though so the quicker they go the better. Silvestre De Sousa back on board for the first time since May and should have solid claims.

Thomas Blossom^t¹⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: A Stronge| OR: 64| C

33/1

Been running over fences of late with no success. Very lightly raced this year which would suggest there have been some issues along the way. Capable off this sort of mark on the flat in the past so interesting how he fares in the market on return

Another Go²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R J Smith| OR: 64

10/1

Not been with this yard long and has shaped like this trip could well suit having been staying on well over shorter. Mark is dropping all the time and would be a player if strong in the market.

Form: 0/055-64

Voice Control¹⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 63| D

9/1

Has clearly had plenty of issues with some huge gaps between races. Fallen below last winning mark now but has another absence to overcome on the back of a tailed off effort at Lingfield in May and best watched for now.

Form: 4562/57

Forbidding^t,v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Danny Brock| T: J Butler| OR: 59| D

5/1

Broke his maiden when winning over an extended 2m at Newcastle recently. Bombed out back on turf at Ffos Las next time off this 4lb higher mark but should be more at home on this surface. Still early days and could be more to come.

Forecasts

Ardamir (10/3), Fitzwilly (7/2), Forbidding (5/1), Rainbow Rising (6/1), Navajo Star (9/1), Voice Control (9/1), Graceful Lady (10/1), Another Go (10/1), Galileo's Spear (12/1), Thomas Blossom (33/1)

An open looking staying contest. Ardamir will probably be the last one off the bridle but there is always the worry that he won't finish his race off so is probably worth taking on. Rainbow RIsing is sure to win one of these sooner or later and is also feared. We will take a chance that this will set up nicely for FITZWILLY who sees this trip out really well and has Silvestre De Sousa on board for the first time since May.
