11/8

Running well in defeat this campaign including when third over 6f at Newmarket (good) in first time cheekpieces (retained) last time out. Drop in trip no issue and is a leading player once more.

Form: 0-32223

Bashiba^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| BF| CD

5/2

Good third at Doncaster (5f, good-to-firm) on his penultimate start and finished a decent fourth over the same C&D subsequently. Interesting off a mark 9lb lower than for his latest success.

Well held last of seven in a 7f handicap at Newbury (good-to-firm) when returning from a break recently. Hood tried for the first time back down in trip.

Look Surprised³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 62| CD

11/2

Placed over an extended 5f at Bath (good-to-soft) in June but held in two subsequent starts at the same venue. Market support would be notable off a mark 2lb lower than when winning this race 12 months ago.

Toni's A Star³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

10/1

Returning from a break when finishing 4½L fifth in a 5f handicap at Haydock (good-to-firm) a month ago. Dropped 1lb for that effort but probably best watched at present.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45| D

16/1

Dual winner finished down the field in an AW handicap over this trip at Lingfield last month. Return to turf is in her favour racing from out of the handicap.

50/1

Finished fourth in selling company on two most recent starts including in a five runner race on the AW at Lingfield (5f) in June. Others hold stronger claims racing from out of the weights on return from a braek.

Alisia R¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: J L Eyre| OR: 50| D

12/1

Broke her maiden when scoring by a neck in a 5f event at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) on handicap debut early last month. Saddle slipped over the same C&D subsequently and is interesting despite racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Lethal Angel (11/8), Bashiba (5/2), Look Surprised (11/2), Pink Iceburg (8/1), Toni's A Star (10/1), Alban's Dream (10/1), Nautical Haven (10/1), Alisia R (12/1), Firenze Rosa (16/1), Fly The Nest (20/1), Deer Song (50/1)

Top weight LETHAL ANGEL has been in good form of late and she can gain reward for a number of solid placed efforts by taking this competitive looking sprint handicap. Bashiba is a previous C&D winner and he can claim second having finished a decent fourth on his most recent start while third place can go to Alisia R who remains open to improvement on just her second handicap start.
