Jumira Bridge¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 92| D

14/1

Was successful on his opening run of the season on turf at Sandown (5f). Went very close to following it up at Windsor on his next start but had to settle for fourth place, ¾L behind the winner. Needs to bounce back from latest effort at Ascot (5f).

Form: 9-45140

Tomily¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| BF| D

6/1

Won his opening two starts since switching yards earlier this year. Could only finish 10th of 15 last time at York (6f) on his hat-trick bid. Back down in distance which will suit. Has three wins on the AW. Has to be respected.

Form: 751110

Only Spoofing¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 87| D

9/2

Been in excellent form recently with three consecutive victories over this trip. His latest success came at Ascot (5f) in a class 2 contest when going off as the 5/1 favourite. Gone up 7lb since that victory to a career high mark. Big chance again.

Harry's Bar³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 85| D

11/10

On for the hat-trick bid today following wins on the AW at Lingfield and Wolverhampton over this trip. Has been given a 4lb rise in the weights by the handicapper, however, should be considered to follow up here.

Form: 238511

You're Cool^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR: 83| CD

20/1

Has won over this C&D four-times, including two starts back in a eight-runner field. Was unable to follow it up last time at Wolverhampton (5f) where he was fifth of six. Remains off the same mark for this latest attempt. Can't be discounted here.

Green Door^v⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| D

16/1

Was successful two starts back at Lingfield (5f) when justifying going off as the odds-on favourite in a class six handicap. Finished third of six here over this C&D last time at this level. Has each-way claims again off a 2lb lower mark.

Zac Brown^t⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 78| CD

8/1

A C&D winner here just six days ago when just getting up by a short-head in a tight finish. Has gone up 4lb for that win but has won off a 9lb higher mark than this. One to consider at a track he enjoys.

Form: U31471

Miracle Works⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 78| CD

12/1

Was victorious over this C&D back in February. He then followed that up with success at Wolverhampton (5f). Returned to action at Bath (5f) earlier this month where he was second of six. Off a 4lb higher mark here. Others preferred.

Form: 110762

Forecasts

Harry's Bar (11/10), Only Spoofing (9/2), Tomily (6/1), Zac Brown (8/1), Miracle Works (12/1), Jumira Bridge (14/1), Green Door (16/1), You're Cool (20/1)

ONLY SPOOFING can do no wrong at the moment as he bids for his fourth straight win here over this distance. He is a sprinter who is worth sticking with despite the 7lb rise in the weights so keep the confidence with the gelding in his latest outing. Harry's Bar is another horse who is flying at the moment as he is looks to complete a hat-trick where he should not be far away, while Zac Brown got was on the right side of a photo-finish last time over this C&D, expect to see him in contention at the finish again.
