11/8

Respectable effort on handicap debut at Sandown last month and may be more to come now he's found a level. The first-time visor is an interesting addition and a market check is advised. Can go close if handling the ground.

2/1

Won a Ripon seller with a gritty display from the front last month and also ran well when upped to this grade at the same course last time out. Now 5lb higher but the blinkers can help him focus and good reason to assume he'll be thereabouts again.

Sneaky^h¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 67

7/2

Can help set a good tempo but was overhauled by Royal Council (and the eventual winner) when attempting to make all at Sandown last month and has a bit to find on a literal reading of that run. Also needs to prove she handles cut in the ground.

Crime Of Passion⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: J A Osborne| OR: 63

14/1

Has some ability and starts out in handicaps from a workable mark after three mildly encouraging efforts; improvement needed but has a likable pedigree so worth noting in the betting. Her yard has been struggling for winners lately though.

Prissy Missy²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 57

9/1

Finished well ahead of Crime Of Passion when they met at Lingfield in June and then ran well on her handicap debut at Bath the following month. Not so good on the AW latest but the return to turf is in her favour. The betting can guide.

ISOBAR WIND has fewer questions to answer than the rest and, having run well to win a seller and gone on to acquit himself well in this grade last time out, the gelding could be hard to resist if the blinkers help draw a little extra from him here. Royal Council also wears headgear for the first time and has to be respected after an improved run at Sandown. He does need to prove he'll handle any give underfoot though. Queenoftheclyde gets plenty of weight from the rest and is well worth considering if she's supported now she moves into a handicap for the first time.
