Dusty¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 67| CD

10/1

Winner here over C&D two starts back off a 3lb lower mark. Two disappointing efforts on the back of that and needs to bounce back here to be in the mix.

Form: 523138

Spanish Star^v⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 65

12/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts but has run consistently well in the main. Last two efforts have been slightly below par and needs to pick things up again to be involved here.

Form: 423249

(9)

Secret Potion⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 63| D

6/1

Has run well the last twice at both Chepstow and Bath. Races off the same mark here as last time and has sound claims of going well again here.

Form: 062433

Wotadoll¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 61| CD

2/1

Has been running really well of late without getting her head in front. Won this race last year off a 5lb lower mark but clearly in good health and a repeat bid is on the cards.

Archimedes^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 59| BF| D

25/1

Well backed at Bath last time having fallen to a good mark but the hood was late coming off and he was never on terms. Chance is there for all to see again here and interesting to see if money comes for him again.

Form: 335440

Essaka¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| C| D

8/1

Won back-to-back races at Windsor and Bath earlier in the summer and has run well since. Close third at Wolverhampton last and should go well but wide draw not helpful.

Form: 118833

Firenze Rosa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 58| D

20/1

Winner at Goodwood three starts back off a 3lb lower mark. Not in the same mood the last twice and needs to bounce back here.

Form: 575179

(4)

Impart^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 57| D

8/1

Back to form when making all at Lingfield on the AW last time. Only 2lb higher and has run well here before so every reason to believe he can go well again.

Form: 854221

(5)

Frank Cool^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57

7/1

Only one win from 20 starts so far and hasn't been beating the door down of late. Cheekpieces now added and yard do well here though so market check needed.

Form: 527344

(2)

Ask The Guru^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55| CD

20/1

Twice a winner over this C&D in the past. Returned to form when narrowly denied at Lingifeld (AW) latest and is just as effective back on turf. Should go well from a good draw.

Form: 335663

(13)

Rebel Heart^t1,v⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: W G M Turner| OR: 54| BF| C| D

16/1

Winner here over 6f on soft ground last year. Has run well to be placed at Chepstow the last twice and comes here with solid claims after a short break. Wide draw is a slight concern.

Form: 401-533

(11)

Storm Lightning¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 49| CD

25/1

Back to form when winning a weak race at Wolverhampton last time. Has won over this C&D but this tougher than last time and is 2lb out of the weights.

Form: 8-48031

Forecasts

Wotadoll (2/1), Secret Potion (6/1), Frank Cool (7/1), Impart (8/1), Essaka (8/1), Dusty (10/1), Spanish Star (12/1), Rebel Heart (16/1), Ask The Guru (20/1), Firenze Rosa (20/1), Archimedes (25/1), Storm Lightning (25/1), Haveoneyerself (33/1)

WOTADOLL has been in good form of late without winning and can follow-up last years success in this race. Haveoneyourself is lurking on a dangerous mark and a market check is needed. Rebel Heart hasn't had many chances so far this year and will be dangerous if getting over from a wide draw. Ask The Guru should go well and completes the shortlist.
