Consistent sort ran well to finish 3L fourth over 6f at Newmarket (good) last time out. Finished runner-up on three outings prior to that and another bold show is on the cards.

The Big Short^p³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: J M Bradley| OR: 58

Disappointing in four starts since joining this yard. Handicap mark is falling as a result but others make more appeal at present.

Narrowly beaten in a ten runner handicap at Tipperary (good-to-firm) over an extended 7f in June. Struggled there subsequently and not certain to appreciate this drop in trip.

10/1

Decent fourth in a 6f selling handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Races off a 1lb lower mark and worth a check in the market.

Form: 4-58384

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 45| D

Forecasts

Time Stands Still (2/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (5/2), Defining Moment (5/1), Monarch Maid (7/1), Wild Flower (10/1), Sugar Plum Fairy (14/1), Everkyllachy (20/1), Western Dynamisme (25/1), Angelito (33/1), Burauq (33/1), The Big Short (50/1)

VINCENZO COCCOTTI can defy top weight and in the process record a second C&D victory of the season having won here in June. The selection usually runs his race and can see off Wild Flower who finished a decent fourth over slightly further last time out. Third place can go to Defining Moment has won off a higher mark in the past.
