Raucous^p,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 100| D

10/3

Got his head back in front at Goodwood in May 2018 and has run some eye-catching races in defeat since. Proving very reliable this year and a very good 2L fourth in the Wokingham last time. Likely to go close again.

Comin' Through^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: G Mosse| T: George Scott| OR: 100

12/1

Multiple Group winner in Australia including the Group 1 Doomben Cup last year. Tried in three strong handicaps for new yard, including the Royal Hunt Cup last time but has proved very disappointing. Bit to prove for now.

Form: 0-77000

Unabated^e/s²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 93| D

14/1

Ran well in a Listed Chester contest in August 2017 but absent until a well held effort over 5f at Chelmsford last month on stable debut. Huge ask off these terms and others readily preferred.

Form: 51103/6

Muscika^v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 90| D

2/1

Won over this trip at Thirsk in May and his latest third over the same C&D was also right up to his very best. Has conditions to suit once again and holds every chance at the weights. Stable in form and a leading contender.

Form: 3-66102

Show Stealer^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest| OR: 86| D

9/1

Twice a winner at Bath on quick ground at this time last year and has returned with two very good close fourths at Windsor. Touch more needed off these terms but should be even fitter and a chance.

Form: 7466-44

Hart Stopper^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 81| CD

7/1

Winner of five races from 19 starts on turf but has looked out of sorts in three runs this season. On a very attractive weight if bouncing back but that remains a big if.

Form: 140-769

Indian Raj^t1³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| BF

7/2

Won last two of just three starts in 2017 and returned from a 629-day absence to finish an encouraging Ascot fourth. Never got going and poor at Nottingham and now trying 6f for the first time. Much more needed.

Form: 211/45

Forecasts

Muscika (2/1), Raucous (10/3), Indian Raj (7/2), Hart Stopper (7/1), Show Stealer (9/1), Fighting Irish (10/1), Zamjar (10/1), Comin' Through (12/1), Unabated (14/1)

Raucous is so consistent that he can be relied on going close in this valuable claiming handicap.. Show Stealer should be spot on following two very good runs back and rates another danger. Preference though is for MUSCIKA who arguably posted a career best last time and a repeat would be good enough off these terms.
