Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 80| C

6/5

Made it three wins in four starts when cantering clear here over 7f last week. Down in trip now and handicapper has heaped on 12lb, but will be a force if in the same mood.

Form: 921141

Joegogo¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: P D Evans| OR: 76| D

Springbourne⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 75

8/1

Has run three races, for three trainers, in three years. Winner on debut at Bath (5f, soft) back in 2016. Showed ability in novice event here in June on first run for this handler; unexposed now handicapping.

Form: 1/5-3

Peace Dreamer²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 73| D

9/1

14 months since she last won, promising reappearance at Bath (5f, firm; 3-1) in May hasn't truly been built on but not far off at that track since and should run a solid race.

Form: 56-2733

(3)

Seprani²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 71| D

9/2

Beat all bar the winner at Yarmouth over 7f on Thursday in apprentice race. Claims here from same mark if this quick turnaround doesn't catch her out.

Form: 6-30242

(5)

Crimewave^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 74

9/2

Has shown some promise in eight-race career but remains a maiden. Good effort last month at Newbury over a mile and worth a try over this reduced trip.

Form: 2-75434

(7)

Monumental Man¹⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J A Osborne| OR: 68| D

16/1

Experienced 10-year-old, won four times during 2018 over 6f. Well below best in March at Chelmsford when last sighted, market an effective guide to what's expected here.

Form: 0-33347

Forecasts

Magical Ride (6/5), Seprani (9/2), Crimewave (9/2), Springbourne (8/1), Peace Dreamer (9/1), Joegogo (11/1), Monumental Man (16/1)

A contest that revolves around MAGICAL RIDE, who made it three wins in four when thrashing his rivals over 7f here last Saturday. He's dropped in trip and the handicapper has taken evasive action but, having had 9L to spare then, will have strong claims if in the same mood. Seprani has been finding thriving rivals lately and did so again at Yarmouth on Thursday but is a danger to all while Crimewave merits a try over this distance. Look out for Springbourne in the betting ahead of a belated handicap debut.
