Nutini^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M S Saunders| OR: 64| D

10/1

Up 4lb for Kempton 6f win but did so in good style and should be competitive again. Extra furlong suits and likely to be a leading contender.

Form: 966921

(3)

Briyouni⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 63| D

1/1

Built on a back to form effort over this C&D with an impressive win at Kempton, when overcoming early trouble. Up 8lb but well handicapped on old form and likely to go close again.

Form: 607871

(9)

Deeds Not Words^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 63

20/1

Gained career win number 12 latest and remains on a good mark. Tends to go on a run of form so has to be respected but all wins have come at shorter.

Form: 569641

(11)

Mercers^h1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P Butler| OR: 60| C

66/1

Twice a winner over 5f here but well held the last twice and failed to impress on previous try at this distance. Others preferred.

Form: 816348

(10)

Amaranth¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Keniry| T: M Scudamore| OR: 60WS

33/1

Very disappointing efforts the last twice and unseated his rider and bolted before the start on an intended start in between. Needs to find plenty for first run since wind surgery.

Form: 56309

(12)

Chica De La Noche^p⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Dow| OR: 60| D

6/1

Just two wins from 22 starts but proving very consistent of late and remains on a good mark. Not well drawn for front-running style but likely to be involved.

Form: 564323

(6)

Penwood⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 60

25/1

Five-race maiden has looked on a harsh mark in two handicap starts to date and 3lb drop unlikely to prove enough.

Form: 63289

(4)

Jeopardy John^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: M J Attwater| OR: 59

14/1

15-race maiden shaped better off career-low mark latest and now down a further 1lb. Extra furlong not a problem but lacks a change of gears and likely to find one or two good again.

Form: 264583

(1)

Jabarout¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 59| D

6/1

Made most to win a weak contest over this trip at Wolverhampton but well below that at a mile off revised mark. Drop in distance will help but others look better handicapped.

Form: 87513

(14)

Pass The Cristal⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: W R Muir| OR: 57| D

28/1

Has dropped back to a competitive mark but has failed to beat a rival home when well beaten the last twice. Hard to enthuse over in current form.

Form: 870480

(5)

Swiss Cross²²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P S McEntee| OR: 57| BF| CD

20/1

Veteran and a 15-time winner (three in Jersey). Winner at Kempton three starts back but below that last twice and all best recent form has come at shorter. May need another ease in the weights.

Form: 076187

(7)

Locommotion²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 53| CD

14/1

Twice a winner over this C&D and therefore a bit disappointing he couldn't build latest on a back to form effort at Leicester. Could bounce back but others looks stronger candidates.

Form: 476026

(2)

Baby Gal³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: J R Boyle| OR: 48

12/1

Sole win from 27 efforts came on her second start back in May 2016. On a competitive mark and place possibilities again but proving hard to win with.

Form: 352924

Amor Fati⁹

T: P D Evans J: K T O'Neill

Forecasts

Briyouni (1/1), Jabarout (6/1), Chica De La Noche (6/1), Nutini (10/1), Baby Gal (12/1), Locommotion (14/1), Jeopardy John (14/1), Amor Fati (14/1), Deeds Not Words (20/1), Swiss Cross (20/1), Penwood (25/1), Pass The Cristal (28/1), Amaranth (33/1), Mercers (66/1)

Three horses coming off back to form wins will be popular with Nutini suited by this extra furlong, however considering the trouble he met on leaving the stalls, the success of BRIYOUNI has to be upgraded and he remains on a very good mark. Deeds Not Words can be expected to hold his form well although would be better suited by a sprint distance.
