Agent Of Fortune^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 58| C

15/2

Three-time winner last year but this season's form has been below her best; did post a better effort when fourth over 7f (good) here earlier in the month and possibilities if building on that.

Form: 2-74694

Just Later^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66

12/1

Five-race maiden, ran best race on seasonal bow at Brighton (7f, good to soft) when less than 2L fourth of six. Not as good at Chepstow since on quicker ground and now goes up in distance.

Form: 432-45

(5)

Sharp Operator^h⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 57| D

7/2

Experienced six-year-old not noted for consistency. Runner-up in a Lingfield seller on the AW last week (no match for winner), would hold good claims with repeat effort back on turf as William Carver takes off a useful 7lb.

Form: 057252

Clem A¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 64

10/1

Promising reappearance over a mile at Windsor in May on debut for this trainer but missed a couple of engagements afterwards and ran a poor race at Nottingham this month. Questions over him for now.

Form: 3072-40

King Oswald^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J W Unett| OR: 54| CD

7/2

AW winner at Wolverhampton in April and backed that up with solid second here over 7f in May. Not as good either run since, though was hampered quite badly latest start at Bath. Can bounce back.

Form: 301268

Reconnaissance^b1,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 61

3/1

Lope De Vega gelding is a maiden of eight starts and not really progressing since joining this yard from Andrew Balding. Blinkers are tried now, needs to raise his game.

Form: 454-676

(8)

Mitigator^b⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: B Doyle| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 58| D

6/1

Ran well here penultimate outing and duly built on that with Lingfield victory over a mile on the AW, despite missing the break. Raised 3lb for turf return and entitled to have designs on a big run if blinkers continue to have positive effect.

Form: 808041

(2)

Summer Angel^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Liam Jones| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

40/1

Form this year is uninspiring, latest when beating only one rival at Brighton (7f, good to firm) three weeks. Races from out of the weights now and hard to find positives.

Form: 690-005

(6)

Reformed Character⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: A McCarthy| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 49

33/1

Well beaten in both starts since switched to handicap company. Probably best watched following a 17½L defeat over 7f at Chelmsford on the AW last month.

Form: 70970

Forecasts

Reconnaissance (3/1), King Oswald (7/2), Sharp Operator (7/2), Mitigator (6/1), Agent Of Fortune (15/2), Clem A (10/1), Just Later (12/1), Reformed Character (33/1), Summer Angel (40/1)

Mitigator has upped his game in blinkers and comes here off a nice success at Lingfield that was achieved despite a slow start. From 3lb higher, he's very much respected. KING OSWALD was badly hampered at Bath last time when seemingly about to rise a strong challenge. He's run well at this track already this term and could land the spoils from his current mark. Sharp Operator isn't exactly consistent but if he back up his recent Lingfield effort he'll have solid prospects given the 7lb his in-form rider claims.
