Banksy's Art^v1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 62

4/1

Without a win in 10 starts and last three runs after being gelded have not suggested that trend is about to end. Connections reach for a visor and positive jockey booking suggests they expect a better display.

King Athelstan⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 61| BF| C

7/4

In good form since joining this yard from John Best, winning over 1m2f at this venue last month and placed off this sort of mark in two subsequent outings. Solid claims back at this track, but has stamina to prove.

Form: 000132

Sing A Rainbow^p1¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 60

5/1

Frankel filly who has been unplaced in three starts in maiden/novice company. Not obviously well treated on handicap debut, but stable is in good form.

Purple Jazz⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 57| D

9/2

First run since undergoing wind surgery when landing a Lingfield handicap in July. Should be able to make his presence felt again off only 1lb higher.

Form: 99-2431

Ragstone Ridge¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: M McGrath| OR: 56

66/1

Three runs in novice company before finishing a distant last of eight on handicap debut at Lingfield. Plenty to prove off 3lb lower.

Form: 00-08

Buxlow Belle^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox| T: D Menuisier| OR: 49

8/1

Unplaced in five starts, but has not been disgraced in last two of them in handicaps. Dropping down the weights and could get involved for in-form trainer.

Form: 57446

Townie Mac³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 47

10/1

Seven-race maiden, but has run well to hit the frame in handicaps on his last two starts at this track. Takes another step up in distance and is a threat if staying the trip.

Form: 008532

Mistress Nellie²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 46

12/1

Improved effort when 4L second of 10 in a Windsor handicap. Competes off the same mark and has prospects if taking another step forward.

Forecasts

King Athelstan (7/4), Sauchiehall Street (10/3), Banksy's Art (4/1), Purple Jazz (9/2), Sing A Rainbow (5/1), Buxlow Belle (8/1), River Cafe (8/1), Townie Mac (10/1), Mistress Nellie (12/1), Diablery (14/1), Ragstone Ridge (66/1)

Sauchiehall Street has strong claims in pursuit of his hat-trick, but may have to give best to his stable companion RIVER CAFE, who went close last time and should be suited by this longer trip. Buxlow Belle and Sing A Rainbow hail from in-form stables and can make their presence felt, while others to consider are Townie Mac, Mistress Nellie, King Athlelstan and Purple Jazz.
