Eligible¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 75| BF

7/2

Improving maiden, decent fourth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 9-2) 15 days ago and should be able to put himself in the mix if taking to this surface.

Form: 90-34

(9)

Eddie Cochran¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

20/1

Best of three qualifying efforts came last time at Chepstow over similar trip (third), though likely has further improvement to find now tackling a handicap.

Form: 753

Forbidden Dance²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 74

9/1

Made the frame in soft-ground Newbury contest over a mile last time out, diverts attention to handicaps now and booking of Oisin Murphy looks a positive. Market check demanded.

Form: 883

(6)

Motawaj¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 74| BF

9/4

Fair third at Nottingham on handicap debut over similar trip recently, staying on well without threatening front pair. Makes polytrack debut and has decent claims on form.

Form: 663-3

Bullington Boy¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73

8/1

Had started to show promise this term prior to fast-fading effort at Newmarket (1m, good) 18 days ago, now requires a bounce-back effort.

Form: 050-640

(2)

Pacificadora⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 70

12/1

Declaration Of War filly, ran well here on debut and scored next time in 7f Chelmsford novice contest. Likely didn't stay at Bath on turf debut in May and could be worth a look now making handicap debut back down in trip.

Form: 310

(7)

Francisco Bay²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 68

12/1

More exposed than a few of these rivals and lacking some consistency. Below par at Sandown (1m2f, soft; 10-1) most recently and needs to bounce back down in trip here.

Form: 9560-26

(3)

Solfeggio^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 66

7/1

Penultimate run at Leicester over a mile was eye-catching, given he pulled hard and stayed on for a good third. Hasn't built on that effort back there since however, must improve.

Form: 052-738

Azets^b²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 62

20/1

Disappointing effort at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last month came from a career-low handicap mark. Hard to place much faith in on recent form.

Forecasts

Motawaj (9/4), Eligible (7/2), Jabalaly (5/1), Solfeggio (7/1), Bullington Boy (8/1), Forbidden Dance (9/1), Francisco Bay (12/1), Pacificadora (12/1), Steeve (12/1), Eddie Cochran (20/1), Azets (20/1)

Any money coming for handicap debutante Forbidden Dance in the hands of Oisin Murphy may prove worthy of noting, while the form picks is probably Motawaj on his Nottingham run. There could be a bit more to come from PACIFICADORA however, the filly having run well here on debut before scoring at Chelmsford over 7f on second start. The trip at Bath last time was against here and she's potentially on a workable mark for this handicap debut.
