9/2

Promising fifth over 1m4f at Doncaster (good) on debut for this yard in June. Failed to back that up when sixth at Leicester (1m4f, good-to-firm) last time out and more needed down in trip in first time cheekpieces.

20/1

Refused to race in first time blinkers on her penultimate start and was beaten 9L when sixth over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield (soft) subsequently. Others make more appeal with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

11/2

Put a slightly disappointing effort behind him when finishing third over this trip on the AW at Chelmsford on Saturday. Turned out quickly and is a notable runner off a mark 5lb higher than when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good-to-firm) last month.

Promising 6½L fourth in a 1m event at Newmarket (good-to-soft) on handicap debut in June. Given a break since and is bred to appreciate this step up in trip.

Soldier Of War²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 45

40/1

Failed to figure in a couple of bumpers and three starts on the Flat. Beaten 31L over this trip at Leicester (good-to-firm) last out and others make more appeal racing from out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form: 506

14/1

Regressed in novice/maiden events and was beaten 59L when last of three over 1m4f at Pontefract (good) last month. Likely capable of better for a top yard racing from out of the weights on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Fair Power (10/3), Sandy Steve (7/2), Jetstream (9/2), Bader (11/2), Creative Talent (12/1), Drumshanbo Destiny (12/1), Solveig's Song (14/1), Jukebox Blues (14/1), With Approval (18/1), Principia (20/1), Little Tipple (25/1), Ramblow (33/1), Soldier Of War (40/1), Miss Pollyanna (50/1)

FAIR POWER ran well here earlier this season and he is taken to register a fourth career success by taking this competitive handicap event. Bader put a disappointing effort behind him when placed last time out and he can claim second spot ahead of Jukebox Blues who is making his handicap debut.
