Luv U Whatever^t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 71| CD

7/2

Nine-time course winner including three over this trip. Doesn't always break on terms, as seen last time at Kempton but can't be ruled out back at this course on a workable handicap mark.

Form: 605639

Star Ascending^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Candlish| OR: 71| CD

6/1

Five-time course winner including two at this trip. Was in good form in the spring but not at his best subsequently and well beaten here last time; others arrive in better form.

Form: 357447

Azari^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 70| D

12/1

Losing run is mounting up now and yet to place for this yard. Has only beaten one rival home in any of his last three starts and looks opposable on Fibresand debut.

Forewarning^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Corbett| OR: 69

9/1

Still a maiden after five Flat starts after showing some promise in bumpers. Well beaten on his last couple of starts though and may want a step up in trip.

Form: 34408

(2)

King Of Naples²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68

16/1

Both wins have come on turf and well beaten in a claiming race here at Wolverhampton last time. Not an obvious type to take to this surface on Fibresand debut.

Form: 79P394

Mr Carbonator¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: P A Kirby| OR: 66| C

15/8

Two-time course winner who has shaped like this step up in trip would suit at times. Generally consistent and expected to go well here.

Form: 552245

(8)

Di's Gift²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 59| CD

5/1

Habitual slow starter and that cost him again here last time out. C&D winner just 2lb above his last winning handicap mark so not ruled out if ready to go.

Form: 321346

(6)

The Lock Master^p²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Course winner back in March but well beaten on his last few starts and, often slow to break and well out of the handicap here.

Form: 479087

Forecasts

Mr Carbonator (15/8), Luv U Whatever (7/2), Di's Gift (5/1), Star Ascending (6/1), Forewarning (9/1), Azari (12/1), King Of Naples (16/1), The Lock Master (25/1)

The booking of Luke Morris looks significant on course winner MR CARBONATOR and he looks set to go well up in trip here. Nine-time course winner Luv U Whatever finds himself on a workable mark and can't be ruled out while Di's Gift is capable if able to get away on terms.
