Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 80

9/2

C&D winner finished a good 2L fourth in a first time hood (absent here) at Kempton in May. Disappointed on turf subsequently and is worth a check in the market on return to the AW.

Registered a fourth career success when winning over C&D at the end of May. Raised 7lb for that victory and more needed than when finishing tenth here subsequently.

Bath novice winner over 1m in May but struggled in two subsequent starts and others appear to hold stronger claims on this occasion.

Running well in defeat of late including when 2L second over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good-to-firm) recently. Interesting contender dropping back in distance.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| D

10/1

Ended last season with a 1m novice race victory at Brighton (good) in October. Likely to have improved for his 13L last of five on seasonal debut at Goodwood (1m, good) last month.

Forecasts

That Is The Spirit (4/1), Maid For Life (4/1), Astonished (9/2), Buckingham (9/2), Scat King (5/1), Outside Inside (5/1), Nahham (5/1), Philamundo (8/1), Water Diviner (10/1), Kodiline (10/1), Sword Exceed (12/1), Full Intention (14/1), Marilyn (25/1)

OUTSIDE INSIDE is taken to register a victory in the concluding handicap on the card. The selection ran well over further last time out and she can get the better of the Maid For Life who is drawn wide here and broke her maiden on handicap debut last time out while That Is The Spirit, another who has been dealt a wide draw can take third.
