Kaser⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73

10/1

Showed some ability when with Godolphin but form on turf has dropped off at shorter trips. Bought for £15,000 last month and step up in distance may help.

Form: 2-2397

Claire Underwood¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

8/1

Sprang a 20/1 shock when scoring on her handicap debut at Ripon in June and although that form has worked out quite well, the absence since suggests there may have been a problem and runs off 9lb higher now.

Form: 80-21

(8)

Trade Talks¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 72

13/2

Has shown a modicum of ability in maidens and now goes handicapping though opening mark doesn't look a gift. Market will reveal plenty.

Form: 755

Club Tropicana^t,v1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 71

16/1

Visor now added but beginning to look exposed and although his mark is dropping, it's not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-34668

Jetstream^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 70

16/1

Would have finished closer with a clear run on penultimate start but disappointed last time and something to prove after that.

Form: 036560

Decoration Of War³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| BF| CD

6/4

Two wins at slightly shorter at this venue and just pulled a bit too much when beaten last time. Has since changed hands for 28,000 gns and although he has stamina to prove, he does look to have improvement in the locker.

Form: 081219

Mr Carbonator¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68| CD

5/1

A trio of wins at around this trip last winter but has struggled since off this higher AW mark and others have more potential.

Form: 055224

(10)

Make Good^v³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 67

11/1

Didn't run badly when fourth on stable debut a month ago following a break. Can improve though that form has taken plenty of knocks since.

Form: 407824

Queens Care²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 66| BF

50/1

All three runs have been over 7f in Germany and did win on debut. Has been bought for 6,000 gns since last seen and market should reveal more about expectations.

Form: 15-0

Forecasts

Decoration Of War (6/4), Cloudlam (15/8), Mr Carbonator (5/1), Trade Talks (13/2), Claire Underwood (8/1), Kaser (10/1), Make Good (11/1), Club Tropicana (16/1), Jetstream (16/1), Queens Care (50/1)

The trip is a slight concern but DECORATION OF WAR had looked a progressive handicapper prior to last run and can get back on the winning trail. Claire Underwood has an absence to overcome but her Ripon win has been franked since while Make Good could have more to come for this stable.
