7/2

C&D winner in the past and ran well to finish runner-up in a C&D event on firm ground on his penultimate start. Struggled in an amateur riders contest at Sandown (1m2f, good) last start and interesting to see how he fares.

7/1

Returned to form with a 1¼L third in a 1m4f selling handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Races off the same mark here and is one for the shortlist dropping back in trip.

Frantical¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| D

8/1

Failed to figure in two starts since finishing runner-up in a C&D handicap on good ground when making his seasonal debut two months ago. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 475-207

Puzzle Cache^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: B R Millman| OR: 45

33/1

Nine race maiden was returning from a break when finishing 39L last of 13 over 1m4f at Chepstow (good-to-soft) recently. Others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap.

8/1

Placed third three times this year including in a 1m2f selling handicap on the AW at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Decent fifth upped to 1m4f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out and is interesting despite racing from out of the weights.

Form: 753335

Forecasts

Khaan (3/1), War Of Succession (7/2), Taurean Dancer (5/1), Sussex Girl (7/1), Frantical (8/1), Prerogative (8/1), Buzz Lightyere (12/1), Rocksette (20/1), Puzzle Cache (33/1), Valentine Mist (100/1)

SUSSEX GIRL showed good form in finishing third on her most recent start and she looks capable of taking this Class 6 handicap contest. The selection can get the better of top weight Prerogative who ran well on the AW on his most recent start while Khaan, who is tackling this trip for the first time can take third.
