Final Rock¹⁴

8/1

Decent efforts on both starts so far this season including when fourth in a first time visor (absent here) over 1m4f at York (good-to-firm) two weeks ago. Interesting runner stepping up in distance.

Form: 1122-34

Super Kid^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78

8/1

Victorious in a handicap over an extended 1m4f at Chester (soft) in June. Struggled on the AW subsequently and is worth a check in the market upped in trip having won off higher marks in the past.

9/1

Performed well when finishing third in a 1m3f handicap at Carlisle (good-to-firm) last time out. Worth a check in the market on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 44-4623

Valkenburg^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 66

14/1

Stays well having won over 2m2f at Pontefract (good-to-firm) earlier this season. Held on two most recent starts however and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 36-1486

Royal Flag²³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 63| D

20/1

Placed on good-to-soft ground at Haydock (1m6f) in May but disappointing subsequently. Back down to his last winning mark however and market support would be notable.

Form: 082574

1/2

Completed a double when winning by 3L over 1m5f at Hamilton (good) at the start of this month and placed on both subsequent starts. Leading player stepping up in distance.

Forecasts

Mondain (1/2), Echo (7/1), Final Rock (8/1), Super Kid (8/1), Remember The Days (9/1), Valkenburg (14/1), Royal Flag (20/1), Card High (50/1)

MONDAIN went down to a progressive rival when runner-up at Haydock last week and with further improvement likely stepping up in distance he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Top weight Final Rock is tackling this distance for the first time and he can finish runner-up following two decent efforts this campaign while third place can go to Super Kid who was a winner on his most recent turf start.
