25/1

Successful in claiming company at Epsom (7f, good) in 2015 but absent since finishing third over hurdles at Market Rasen (good) in May 2017. Others make more appeal.

6/1

Good third in a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in May and shaped as if a drop in trip would suit when fourth at Lingfield subsequently. Interesting runner in this event.

Form: 70/53-34

14/1

Has run well on both starts since returning from a short break including when runner-up over this trip at Yarmouth (soft) last month. One to note despite a 1lb rise in the weights.

Winning for the second time this year when successful over 2m at Kempton last time out. Raised 4lb for that victory and interesting to see how she fares in this event.

Barca²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 57| BF

5/2

13 race maiden beaten a neck by Croeso Cymraeg in a 1m4f handicap at Kempton on his penultimate start. Well held at Newbury (1m3f, good-to-soft) subsequently and others make more appeal.

Form: 9-06425

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 57| C

12/1

Placed on both starts since winning a Class 7 over 1m2f here at the end of May. Worth a check in the market racing off a mark 7lb higher than for that victory.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: S W Kelly| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 52

10/1

Put a disappointing Kempton effort behind her when finishing a close third over this C&D earlier this month. Looking for a first victory at the tenth time of asking.

Beau Knight^p1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 47

20/1

Age: 5| Weight: 8-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Bethell| OR: 47| C

20/1

Double his career tally when successful by a short-head over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle early last month. Held fourth on turf subsequently and return to the AW is in his favour.

Form: 75-8514

Tyrsal^p⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S L Keightley| OR: 45

Well beaten in two starts since joining this stable. Market support would be notable racing from out of the handicap having won off higher marks in the past.

Form: 490-000

Forecasts

Barca (5/2), Croeso Cymraeg (7/2), Joycetick (6/1), Sacred Sprite (7/1), Thresholdofadream (8/1), Ness Of Brodgar (10/1), Murhib (12/1), Velvet Vision (12/1), Princess Harley (14/1), Beau Knight (20/1), Steel Helmet (20/1), Jupiter Custos (25/1), Tyrsal (50/1)

SACRED SPRITE impressed in winning her penultimate start and she can put a disappointing subsequent outing behind her to take the concluding staying handicap. The selection can get the better of Princess Harley who has been running in defeat of late while third place can go to Croeso Cymraeg who was placed on his penultimate outing.
