Silverrica^t1³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: M S Saunders| OR: 65| CD

16/1

C&D winner has struggled in the main since winning over this trip on firm ground at Bath 13 months ago. Probably best watched in first time tongue tie following a heavy defeat over the same C&D earlier this week.

Form: 1448-70

(5)

Roundabout Magic⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 64| D

16/1

Improved on seasonal debut when finishing 2¾L fifth over 5f on the AW here earlier this month. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and market support would be notable.

Form: 2072-85

(9)

Flowing Clarets¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J J Bridger| OR: 53| CD

28/1

Failed to beat a rival home in two starts this year including on good-to-firm ground over an extended 5f at Brighton last time out. Has won over C&D in the past but is probably best watched racing from out of the handicap.

Form: 8910-09

Forecasts

Spanish Star (2/1), Enthaar (3/1), Key To Power (5/1), Secretfact (7/1), Arzaak (12/1), Country Rose (12/1), Roundabout Magic (16/1), Silverrica (16/1), Flowing Clarets (28/1)

SPANISH STAR can continue his good run of form by registering a third victory in four starts in this sprint handicap. Enthaar showed good form when finishing runner-up here last time out and he can fill the same position in this event while third place can go to Secretfact who has won off a higher mark in the past.
