Hussar Ballad⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 64| CD

8/1

Won over this C&D previously and may be suited by step back up in trip, however needs to lift on current form.

Form: 054530

(13)

Berry De Carjac³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Harris| OR: 63

100/1

One win from 32 starts and disappointing when failing to beat a rival home in his latest two starts. Opposable on track debut.

Form: 034680

(7)

Spiritual Man¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Fran Berry| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 63

9/1

Latest second over 1m2f at Kempton would put him right in this but appeared not to stay over 1m5f at Bath previously and this trip has to rate a concern.

Form: 742262

Captain George³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blake| OR: 60| CD

50/1

Has three course wins to his name including two over this distance. Tailed off on return to the Flat and remains a touch high in the weights.

Form: 437-180

(8)

Hallstatt^t¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: J Mackie| OR: 58| CD

Calvinist²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 57| C| D

2/1

Has appreciated the latest change of stables with a second and a win over 1m4f here. Stays this trip fine and remains on a workable mark. Leading contender.

Form: 0-85721

(9)

Harbour Force^p²⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 57

16/1

10-race maiden under all codes and while he didn't get a clear run at Lingfield on his return to the Flat, this requires plenty more.

Form: 6609-6

(6)

Dream Serenade²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| C

33/1

Tailed off behind Calvinist here last time gives her plenty to find and better suited by the fibresand. Best watched.

Form: 021697

(5)

Yasir¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 53| C

5/1

Veteran who finished clear of the third when runner-up over this trip at Chelmsford and went one better over further at this track. Only up 2lb and should be involved.

Form: 7-88821

(12)

Filament Of Gold^b³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 52| C

20/1

Goes well here and returns off the back of two wins from his last four (both at Bath). Stayed the 1m5f with a strong finish and no reason he can't be in the mix again.

Form: 741341

(1)

Glasgon¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Craggs| OR: 50| C

10/1

Probably given too much to do off a slow pace over further last time and this trip could prove ideal. In good form and respected.

Form: 4-95143

(11)

Street Jester¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Jones| T: R Stephens| OR: 49

25/1

Bath winner three starts back but that win is looking moderate. Well beaten now in all five AW runs and others preferred.

Form: 9-38185

(4)

Thahab Ifraj^v1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 47

7/1

One win over hurdles but remains a maiden in this sphere and needs to step up on latest two starts. Others look stronger candidates.

Form: 468467

Forecasts

Calvinist (2/1), Yasir (5/1), Thahab Ifraj (7/1), Hussar Ballad (8/1), Spiritual Man (9/1), Glasgon (10/1), Harbour Force (16/1), Filament Of Gold (20/1), Street Jester (25/1), Hallstatt (33/1), Dream Serenade (33/1), Captain George (50/1), Berry De Carjac (100/1)

CALVINIST has changed scenery a few times but has really hit form for his latest trainer and the step up in distance is only a plus. Yasir is also on a competitive mark and can chase him home while Filament Of Gold and Glasgon should both be considered over this distance.
