Scofflaw²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| CD

18/1

Won a Class 3 handicap here in June and will appreciate dropping to that same mark. Needs to recover from a string of disappointing runs.

Form: 018007

Start Time²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80| D

15/2

Having gone thee years without a win he has scored twice this term. Now a triple winner at Thirsk and there is still mileage in this mark if he takes to the track.

Sword Exceed²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 79| BF| D

33/1

All three wins have come on the AW and he has avoided soft ground in the past. Back from an eight month break and will have other targets in mind.

Form: 4410-18

Amplification^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79| D

10/1

Has responded well to blinkers and followed his Ffos Las success with a fair effort at Ayr. Dropped in class here.

Form: 663514

Falmouth Light⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: I Jardine| OR: 79| BF| D

8/1

Strong traveller who did not find as as much as looked likely when dropped to 6f last week. Probably not the easiest ride and gets strong handling here.

Form: 105332

Weellan⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78

10/1

Prominent racer whose two victories have come at Ripon. Has gone well here in the past and weighted to give a good account.

Form: 156434

Zeyzoun^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: C F Wall| OR: 76| D

6/1

Suited to a soft surface and failed to handle Epsom last time. Will be thereabouts if coping with these less severe undulations.

Form: 1-40435

(8)

Magic City²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 76| D

18/1

Prolific winner who has been promising a return to form. His style of racing requires luck in running and it is not easy to come from the back around here.

Form: 080566

Explain^v⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| D

12/1

Visor has had a positive effect but Monday's Musselburgh run suggested the handicapper is in charge for the time being.

Parys Mountain^h,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

28/1

Looks to have gone off the boil after a win at York in June and the worry is the ground, with his best form coming on quicker surfaces.

Form: 803590

Our Charlie Brown¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| CD

9/1

Has three wins and two places from seven starts here so connections will be hoping these undulations stimulate significant improvement on his last two outings.

Form: 322400

Stringybark Creek¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73| CD

14/1

Back to back wins here and at Beverley last month resulted in a harsh reassessment and he has failed to figure since.

Form: 641106

(9)

Holiday Magic²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Josh Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73| D

40/1

Yet to win on turf and his recent AW efforts prove he is out of sorts. Hard to fancy on most counts.

Form: 848000

Jay Kay^h⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Fran Berry| T: K R Burke| OR: 73| D

12/1

Gained a seventh Ayr victory last week on similar ground. Yet to make the frame in four visits here though.

Form: 705001

Redrosezorro^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 70| BF| CD

8/1

Has three wins here and has been placed a few times too. Second over 6f last time when racing wide on the bend but yet to make the frame in this class.

Forecasts

Zeyzoun (6/1), Start Time (15/2), Redrosezorro (8/1), Falmouth Light (8/1), Our Charlie Brown (9/1), Weellan (10/1), Amplification (10/1), Explain (12/1), Jay Kay (12/1), Stringybark Creek (14/1), Magic City (18/1), Scofflaw (18/1), Parys Mountain (28/1), Sword Exceed (33/1), Holiday Magic (40/1)

It often to pays to lie handy here and front-running WEELLAN should give a good account having been given a chance at the weights and with underfoot conditions to suit. Zeyzoun failed to cope with the undulations at Epsom and his style of racing will require luck in running, although he has an able pilot on board. Falmouth Light is a strong travelling type who will relish the likely pace and Amplification will be happier dropping into this company.
