Just Glamorous¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 81| D

8/1

Veteran who is on a long losing run. Ran respectably when tried in cheekpieces at Bath (5f, firm) at the start of the month. Slightly more needed in this especially from out of the handicap.

Form: 202065

Waseem Faris²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 80| CD

25/1

Got back on the winning keel at Bath in May but has been well held in three starts since, including 3L fifth at Sandown (5f, good) in July. Is back on his last winning mark but may be vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form: 6-81375

Joegogo⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P D Evans| OR: 76| D

8/1

Seems to be better on AW than the turf and latest third in 6f Lingfield handicap looks to be flattering given how well-held he was. More needed in this contest but jockey booking is notable.

Gnaad¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 75| D

6/1

Record stands at 3-13 and overcame horrific start to be narrowly denied in 5f Nottingham handicap at the start of the month. Remains on a competitive mark and could go well at a price.

Form: 66-0382

Texting¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: G Mosse| T: M Moubarak| OR: 78| D

5/2

Filly who is in flying form recently and defied the jump in class to win 5f Ascot contest with something to spare in July. 4lb rise suggests handicapper isn't taking any chances but is a leading contender nonetheless.

Form: 3-24211

(9)

Rewaayat¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 72| BF

10/3

Lingfield winner on his penultimate start but raced too freely on latest start at Leicester (6f, heavy). Not without claims off the same mark but needs to settle to give himself the best chance.

Form: 3D-2415

(4)

Maid Of Spirit¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 70| D

7/2

Hasn't added to Windsor novice success on debut but was a good third in 6f Doncaster handicap 11 days ago. Consistency runs to her mark and has each-way chances.

Form: 14-3353

Forecasts

Texting (5/2), Rewaayat (10/3), Maid Of Spirit (7/2), Mercenary Rose (9/2), Gnaad (6/1), Pink Flamingo (6/1), Just Glamorous (8/1), Joegogo (8/1), Vegas Boy (8/1), Alfie Solomons (12/1), Waseem Faris (25/1)

A wide open handicap where a handful merit consideration, Texting sets the form standard this season and took the step up the handicap ladder in her stride last time out, but did get the run of the race that day, while Gnaad and Mercenary Rose could go both be dangerous if replicating their previous efforts off their dangerous marks. Preference is for PINK FLAMINGO though, who has experience on unique undulating courses and would've been closer last time out. She looks to be the one to beat under a very promising jockey.
