Glory of Paris⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| C

1/1

Picked up by connections for 20,000 gns and made an immediate impact when just worn down late over this C&D. Got caught wide and raced keenly so should have more to offer at 3lb below last winning mark.

Form: 007432

Valentino Boy⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: H Bethell| OR: 70| D

50/1

Finished a narrow second at Newcastle in September 2017 but long gaps between two runs since when finishing last on both occasions. Best watched again.

Form: 1452-00

Yusra²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 70

12/1

Promise in last two starts and now makes handicap debut. More required but has shaped as though this step up in trip should suit and improvement likely.

Form: 053

Beepeecee²⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: T Gallagher| OR: 69| CD

50/1

Former C&D winner who gained a fourth career win when scoring at Wolverhampton two starts back. Held in the same grade off revised mark subsequently and others better handicapped in this class.

Form: 87-6315

Rippling Waters³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 67| D

20/1

Winner on just her second start back in maiden company for current stable but has struggled back in handicaps since. Down a further 3lb but others look stronger.

Form: 341540

Sayesse^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: L Williamson| OR: 67| C

16/1

Hold-up performer who bounced back to form when winning over 7f here and then a bit short of room when keeping on at Wolverhampton latest. Bit to prove that this extra furlong will suit.

Form: 045615

(3)

Cuttin' Edge¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: W R Muir| OR: 66| D

3/1

Suited by the step up to this trip when winning with a bit in hand at Lingfield. Looks to have more to offer up in grade and rates a leading contender.

Form: 1/07041

(9)

Global Wonder³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 66| D

10/1

Placed five times in handicaps since switched from Ed Dunlop at the start of the summer before a deserved success at Kempton. Up 3lb and in grade but off a career-best may have more to offer.

Form: 272361

Mezmaar⁹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 63| BF| C

25/1

Gained an overdue win over 7f here and ran to a similar level when second again over the same C&D. In form and still on a decent mark but may be vulnerable up a furlong and in grade.

Form: 354912

(11)

Classic Charm¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62

16/1

Best effort since debut when a staying on second over this C&D. Unsuited by further last time and although a return here could suit, this is a tougher grade.

Form: 6-60025

(14)

Rockesbury^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60| D

Front-runner has won two of last four. Up 4lb and in grade and this distance has stretched his stamina in the past.

Glory of Paris (1/1), Cuttin' Edge (3/1), Duchess Of Avon (8/1), Global Wonder (10/1), Executive Force (10/1), Yusra (12/1), Classic Charm (16/1), Sayesse (16/1), Rockesbury (16/1), Rippling Waters (20/1), Mezmaar (25/1), Brigand (25/1), Andalusite (25/1), Beepeecee (50/1), Valentino Boy (50/1)

GLORY OF PARIS ran a big race in defeat on stable debut over this C&D and now down in grade should have every chance of going one better. Cuttin' Edge has more to offer at this distance and is moving in the right direction while Global Wonder could kick on now after an overdue win.
