Sir Plato^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 71| D

7/1

Came back to form when finishing third of five in Bath handicap (1m, good to firm) in Early June. Will handle the likely quick conditions and 5lb below last winning mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 16-0093

Biotic³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| CD

4/1

Winner of this race last year and blew his chances with a slow start in 1m2f Leicester handicap when last seen. Remains quite high in the weights, but looks to be stable's first choice and chances if quirks are ironed out.

Form: 60-8855

(12)

Club Tropicana^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: R Spencer| OR: 67| D

4/1

Off the mark when landing 1m Yarmouth handicap in May, beating the reposing Lunar Deity in the process. Hasn't been since due to the ground but likely to get her conditions here. Respected.

Form: 6686-01

(3)

Baashiq^p¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Lily Pinchin| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 65| D

14/1

Last win came in September on the AW and hasn't been seen since finishing distant third at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in October 2018. Has been freshened up since and claims if replicating AW form.

Form: 00-5227

(6)

Tajdeed³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

9/2

Three-race maiden and looked to be a type for handicaps when fifth of 12 at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) on latest start. Given a slightly harsh mark but will appreciate the shorter trip. Interesting contender.

Form: 4-55

(4)

Daubney's Dream^p,t²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Megan Trainor⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 64

50/1

Makes debut for another new yard. Last seen finishing 10th in Dundalk classified race (1m, standard) and has a 224-day layoff to contend with. Best watched.

Form: 038650-

Gerry The Glover^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss S Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 63| D

10/1

Has his quirks and is on a long losing run. Never nearer eighth of 18 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) when last seen and highly likely to find some of these too good.

Form: 57279-8

(2)

Chetan²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

15/2

Last won at Lingfield in December and looks to be a better performer on that surface. Fared better than the result suggested when seventh in 7f Brighton handicap and has a good amateur rider on board. Each-way claims.

Form: 21-0577

(11)

Kismat^p1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Georgia King⁽⁷⁾| T: A King| OR: 60

25/1

Nine-race maiden who finished 12th of 14 last time out at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft). Form overall is not good enough and cheekpieces are reached out to in an attempt to reverse her efforts.

Form: 200-480

(13)

Lunar Deity³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Julia Engstrom⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| D

11/1

A veteran who bounced back to form when second behind Club Tropicana in 1m Yarmouth handicap in late May. 7lb better off than that rival today and should give a good account of himself. Makes obvious appeal.

Form: 171462

Tobacco Road^h,t⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss H Welch⁽³⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 55| CD

14/1

Previous C&D winner but hasn't been seen to good effect this season, including when ninth of 15 in Chelmsford handicap (1m2f, standard) in May. This trip looks sharp enough and others make more appeal.

Form: 437059

(5)

Golconda Prince^v1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Miss Rosie Margarson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 53

40/1

Visored for the first time in an attempt to irk out any improvement and is on a long losing run, including in 1m3f Yarmouth handicap last time. Likely to find this a tough ask.

Form: 007600

(7)

Ad Valorem Queen⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 52

33/1

Seven-race maiden who showed some signs of promise when fourth in 1m Lingfield handicap on latest start. However, her form level requires a leap forward to be competitive.

Form: 5600-94

Forecasts

Biotic (4/1), Club Tropicana (4/1), Tajdeed (9/2), Sir Plato (7/1), Chetan (15/2), Gerry The Glover (10/1), Lunar Deity (11/1), Baashiq (14/1), Tobacco Road (14/1), Kismat (25/1), Ad Valorem Queen (33/1), Golconda Prince (40/1), Daubney's Dream (50/1)

Previous form lines are likely to come into equation in this contest, but with the pull in the Weights LUNAR DEITY can find enough progression from his latest start reverse the form with Club Tropicana, who has seemed to spark a revival and is likely to be up towards the front at the finish line. Biotic's course form is attractive enough to suggest he may replicate his previous form, but slow starts have cost his chances on many occasions, while Chetan wasn't disgraced last time out and has a talented jockey on board.
