Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 62| C

13/8

Lightly-raced Pour Moi filly, unbeaten on turf after a pair of 1m2f course successes this summer. Should still have more to offer going up in trip.

Form: 980-411

Twpsyn^b⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

7/2

Remains a maiden but only just run down late in the piece at Ffos Las this week (1m2f, good to firm) and able to turn out from an unchanged mark here four days on. Entitled to be right there on that evidence.

Form: 0814F2

Hammy End^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 58

11/1

Had shown little in four AW starst prior to springing a 33-1 shock at Chepstow (1m2f, good) last month on turf bow. Raised 6lb, can go well again if given a pace to aim at.

Form: 9-9501

10/3

Still looking for his first win after eight races but knocking on the door after placed efforts at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) and Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) lately. Drops in distance this time.

Form: 8-55032

Ideal Grace^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 53

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden with a bit to prove on form if hoping to play leading role. Cheekpieces are tried and rider can take 7lb off.

Form: 06048

Volcanique^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 52

15/2

Well held recently on turf bow in 2m maiden handicap at Beverley, didn't appear to relish the trip. New headgear on now and likely has more to offer before long. Down in distance.

Form: 0050-6

Forecasts

Sadlers Beach (13/8), No Thanks (10/3), Twpsyn (7/2), Sir Canford (9/2), Volcanique (15/2), Ideal Grace (8/1), Hammy End (11/1)

Unbeaten in two runs here, Sadlers Beach should go well now upped in distance while Ffos Las runner-up Twpsyn runs from the same mark off a four-day turnaround and is also respected. But the votes goes to SIR CANFORD, who showed improved form when winning at Lingfield in July and cold prove himself up to defying a 5lb rise over this slightly longer trip.
