Times Past¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 77| D

11/2

Showed improvement on handicap debut when seemingly well suited by the fibresand. Remains on a good mark but needs to prove a liking for this surface.

Form: 2721

Black Medick⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

12/1

Showed big improvement in each of her starts so far and only denied late over this C&D. Likely to go close on handicap debut.

Form: 072

Fume^b¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75| BF

9/4

Unlucky not to have shed his maiden tag yet and just denied a neck on his last two starts. Up another 3lb but should be involved again.

Form: 053422

Woodside Wonder^p³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74

28/1

Had seemingly lost his way in some hot handicaps but shaped better down in grade last time. Down in class again but rise in trip is a query.

Form: 020694

Port of Leith²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73| D

10/1

Improved to win following a gelding operation on first try at this trip at Lingfield. Only up 3lb and likely has more progress to come now. Leading contender.

Form: 233091

Invincibella²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 72| C

16/1

Has run to a consistent level of form so far and should be suited by this step up in distance. Touch more required but can be competitive.

Form: 41244

(11)

Jean Valjean^h³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

8/1

Improved on handicap debut when a luckless close fourth. Could easily have won with a clearer passage and should have more to offer up to this trip. Likely to go close.

Form: 5444

(5)

Intricate^b²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 69

14/1

Failed to improve on handicap over this C&D when looking a tricky ride. Represents leading connections but more required now.

Form: 3757

(4)

Flaunt It²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 68

8/1

Ran on well when runner-up over this C&D and now makes handicap debut. On a competitive mark and respected but may appreciate further in time.

Form: 952

(9)

Ifton²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 68

7/1

Raced to a similar level in three starts and likely to improve now going handicapping but bit to find with Flaunt It from latest C&D run.

Form: 585

(13)

Dandy Lad²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 66

28/1

Returned to form at Lingfield over 5f and dangerously handicapped if building on that. However needs to prove he needs a trip this far.

Form: 236004

(2)

Nguni⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 65

33/1

Well beaten in all three starts so far and now makes her handicap debut. Hard to make a strong case for.

Forecasts

Fume (9/4), Times Past (11/2), Ifton (7/1), Flaunt It (8/1), Jean Valjean (8/1), Port of Leith (10/1), Black Medick (12/1), Intricate (14/1), Invincibella (16/1), Redemptive (16/1), Recuerdame (20/1), Woodside Wonder (28/1), Dandy Lad (28/1), Nguni (33/1)

A very open contest and most can be given a realistic chance. Black Medick is interesting on handicap debut as she continues to move in the right direction while Fume and Port Of Leith are also likely to be involved. Narrow preference if for JEAN VALJEAN who was denied a clear run last time and should have plenty more to offer back up in trip.
