Big Lachie⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

9/4

Quick reappearance under a 5lb penalty for winning at Bath last week but goes equally well here and is still feasibly on a workable mark so must enter the calculations. Shortlisted.

Form: 694921

Pink Flamingo⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 75| CD

7/2

Won over C&D in May and been in reasonably good form since; latest start was a respectable effort and much more than was expected in the betting. Solid claims in this weaker race. On a career highest mark though.

Form: 171125

Essaka¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner at the start of last month and has gone close twice in a busy period since. Raised 2lb for finishing second here in this grade last time but still merits consideration as his rider eases the burden with her claim.

Form: 56-2132

All Back To Mine¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 66| C| D

6/1

Winner at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate start but well beaten from this mark latest. Her style of running will always leave her vulnerable to a strong closer.

Form: 196-219

Archimedes^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 58| D

7/2

Been kept busy and is another that has plenty of C&D experience to draw from. Closely matched with Crystal Deauville after their encounter here last month and needs to see out the trip a bit better this time. A 3lb lower mark helps.

Camanche Grey⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 47| D

40/1

Mixed form of late and was well beaten over 6f here last time out. Very stiff test from so far out of the weights (8lb wrong this time).

Forecasts

Big Lachie (9/4), Essaka (10/3), Pink Flamingo (7/2), Archimedes (7/2), All Back To Mine (6/1), Crystal Deauville (7/1), Camanche Grey (40/1)

ESSAKA is in flying form and has a solid chance of brushing aside his latest rise in the weights (especially as it's effectively cancelled out by his rider's 5lb claim). This C&D suits the selection well and he is a live candidate for top honours here. Archimedes finished in front of the selction when they met met here last October, so must also merit consideration, while Big Lachie and Pink Flamingo are others with solid profiles at this course and are worth noting for support in the betting.
