Piece Of History²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 90| D

2/1

Winner of his first two and handicap debut can be upgraded considering the work he did to get to the lead from out wide, Open to plenty of improvement for stable firing in the winners at present.

Form: 115

Nicklaus²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89

5/1

Very progressive form this summer with two wins followed by an equally good third at Goodwood. Disappointed at York and has had a busy campaign but worth another chance back in grade.

Form: 541130

(7)

Rebel Assault⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 88

14/1

In good form with a win at Musselburgh and ran to a similar performance when third at Leicester but yet to convince at this far.

Form: 335313

Plunger¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T E Whelan| T: P & O Cole| OR: 84

8/1

Saw the trip out well when a running on third at Sandown following a win on quicker ground at Leicester. Can be competitive again although stable could be in better form.

Form: 2-36613

Data Protection^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: W R Muir| OR: 83| D

10/1

Winner of three of his last five but a bit below his best at Thirsk. Possible soft ground was against him and could bounce back on this quicker surface but also may be weighted to his best.

Ambient¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Danny Brock| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 82

25/1

12-race maiden who has shown enough to win a race of this nature and was well tried in Listed company when last seen in May. Has an absence to overcome but would be interesting with support.

Form: 664275

Courtside³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 78| BF| D

2/1

Things haven't quite gone right in two runs since handicap debut win when suffering from a slow early temp on both occasions. Should be more pace on here and remains a promising type.

Form: 56-5134

Forecasts

Courtside (2/1), Piece Of History (2/1), Nicklaus (5/1), Plunger (8/1), Data Protection (10/1), Rebel Assault (14/1), Ambient (25/1)

An open contest but PIECE OF HISTORY could be open to more improvement following a good handicap debut from a wide draw and these conditions could prove ideal for his powerful connections. Courtside should get a stronger pace to aim at and remains of untapped potential. Plunger has more to offer at this distance while Ambient is worth noting in the betting,
