Daily Trader^b1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 61| D

16/1

All three wins have come on AW tracks but his best turf performances have come with some cut in the ground. Nicely weighted with a good claimer on board, but he needs to break better than on his last three starts. Blinkers tried here.

The Night King²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Fran Berry| T: M Quinn| OR: 65

9/2

Showed much improved form over this trip last time when going down fighting and clear of the third. That effort and his Lingfield victory show he handles some cut.

Form: 031652

Landue¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 64| CD

1/1

Typical late developing sort from this yard who escapes a penalty for a facile C&D success. Had a fair bit in hand that day and will take some beating under a claimer who is good value for his allowance.

Form: 997-411

Kenny George³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 64

16/1

Only limited ability shown so far but bred to do better the further he goes. This looks more suitable for his handicap debut, but he still has plenty to find.

Form: 0-46

Stand Firm¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 64

8/1

Improved effort when fourth to an easy winner at Ripon. Opening mark looks workable and top apprentice secured to ride. Looks interesting with the stable in such good form over the last week.

Form: 004

Pescedora^t⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 62

11/1

Modest looking filly but one who will be better for her Lingfield return. Hard to see how the handicapper has arrived at his current assessment.

Form: 0700-7

Dame Vera⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: H Morrison| OR: 61

7/1

Has made little progress since her debut in May and tackles a new trip today. Blinkers worn last time are removed.

Form: 363849

Muraaqeb³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

66/1

Nathaniel gelding who cost £190,000 as a yearling, but made just £12,000 as an unraced three-year-old in November, 2017. Those reasons look apparent judged on his five runs since and veteran trainer faces a real challenge

Form: 60000

Power From Above⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 52

100/1

Showed a bit more last time but a lot more still needed on handicap debut over a trip which will test her stamina.

Form: 076

Alucinado¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: B R Millman| OR: 48

20/1

Travelled well for a long way on handicap debut over 1m2f. Was briefly outpaced before staying on again so worth a try at this trip.

Form: 0993

Landue (1/1), The Night King (9/2), Dame Vera (7/1), Stand Firm (8/1), Pescedora (11/1), Daily Trader (16/1), Kenny George (16/1), Alucinado (20/1), Muraaqeb (66/1), Power From Above (100/1)

At the time of writing Hugo Palmer has had nine winners from his last eighteen runners so Stand Firm enters calculations on his handicap debut following an eyecatching run at Ripon. If the odds are attractive enough he would be a good proposition on an each-way basis as LANDUE should be a short price to complete a hat-trick as he escapes a penalty for a comfortable C&D success and looks ahead of this mark. Alucinado showed improved form last time and shaped as though she would have more to offer over today's trip.
