Danecase^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: M Harley| T: David Dennis| OR: 72| D

11/2

Had been running consistently well without winning this season before disappointing at Windsor. Could be competitive but needs to bounce back.

Form: 452348

Monks Stand^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: J Mackie| OR: 71| D

12/1

Won three in a row at Southwell earlier in the year but has really struggled since including on that favoured surface last time. Needs to find considerable improvement back on turf.

Form: 498760

Lalania^h1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| CD

7/2

Maiden winner over this C&D and has raced to a consistent standard in four handicap runs since. Probably needs to find some improvement in first-time hood.

Case Key¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Ffrench| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| D

13/2

Visor (removed) seemed to revitalise him when fourth at Thirsk on soft ground. Goes on this surface and can be competitive again.

Form: 625904

Chez Vegas⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Patrick Pilley⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| D

8/1

Disappointed on handicap debut in 2016 following maiden win at Doncaster. Ran well on reappearance following over two years off the track and although a bit to find looks open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 4815/6

(11)

Strategic Heights^p¹⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Spencer| OR: 68| D

40/1

Below form when last seen in a claimer in April on last run for Jamie Osborne. All wins have come on the AW and may be best watched on this surface on stable debut.

Form: 335144

(9)

La Fortuna^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 66| D

10/1

Enjoyed a very successful and busy year and bounced back from a below par run at Wolverhampton with a close fourth in a better race at Windsor. Has to be a leading hope down in grade.

Form: 352454

(2)

Kraka¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Quinn| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 66| CD

6/1

C&D winner when losing maiden tag on stable debut and has run to a similar level in two third places since. Got caught wide at Chelmsford and can be involved again.

Form: 745133

(5)

Just Us Two^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Danny Brock| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 64

8/1

On a great mark on old form and only found one too good when the subject of a big gamble on second start for new trainer. Likely to make another bold bid off same mark.

Form: 727882

(8)

Faithful Promise^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 65| D

12/1

Now 10lb lower than last winning mark for previous trainer Mark Johnston. Drop back in trip may help but remains inconsistent and others look more solid propositions.

Form: 823734

(10)

Tawaafoq¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: M Quinn| OR: 63| D

20/1

Some late progress over a half furlong shorter at Bath but form only ordinary and remains with a bit to prove.

Form: 215835

(6)

Precious Plum^p,h¹³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 62

50/1

Missed the whole of last year and hood back on after latest disappointment. Questions to answer on four runs this campaign and on step up in trip.

Form: 71/0876

Forecasts

Lalania (7/2), Danecase (11/2), Kraka (6/1), Case Key (13/2), Just Us Two (8/1), Chez Vegas (8/1), La Fortuna (10/1), Faithful Promise (12/1), Monks Stand (12/1), Tawaafoq (20/1), Strategic Heights (40/1), Precious Plum (50/1)

LA FORTUNA gets a narrow verdict in a tight race with the ease in grade possibly the key to her gaining a sixth win of the year. It will be interesting to see if the support comes for Just Us Two again and he should be involved off this current mark while Kraka is consistent and his last run can be upgraded a touch. Chez Vegas needs to find extra but is open to more improvement than most and should be noted after an encouraging reappearance.
