Jukebox Jive^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 85| D

7/1

Performed creditably the last twice over 2m after dropping down the weights but hasn't won for nearly two years. Although he has won over this trip, his best efforts have come over further and might find this on the sharp side.

Form: 306032

Thaqaffa^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 77

12/1

Had been acquitting himself well this year until two heavy defeats recently, one on the Flat and the other over hurdles. Has place claims on his best form, most of which has come on the artificial surfaces.

Cosmic Landscape¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: W Jarvis| OR: 73| BF

7/1

Just six runs, including a win four starts back at Wolverhampton (1m1½f, Tapeta) in January. Has performed fairly in three handicap runs (1m1½f-1m3f) and is a half-brother to a 2m winner, so this trip may suit.

Form: 06-1653

Lord Lamington⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81| C| D

7/2

Won three times this year (1m4½f-1m6f) including here but has been hit and miss on his last four runs. Not beaten far at Chester (2m, good) last weekend and is only 1lb above his last winning mark if on a going day.

Form: 515285

Brasca²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| C

11/4

Hasn't fulfilled his early promise after two wins, with three poor efforts since. Stamina may have failed at Ascot (2m, good to firm) and heavy ground a plausible reason for defeat last time so not entirely ruled out with sights lowered here.

Form: 21-1545

(3)

Wanaasah^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77

3/1

Been in good form recently, breaking her maiden by 8L at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) on 12 August and made the frame in both starts since. Beaten 4L over C&D most recently and has claims if in the same form.

Forecasts

Brasca (11/4), Wanaasah (3/1), Lord Lamington (7/2), Cosmic Landscape (7/1), Jukebox Jive (7/1), Amourice (7/1), Thaqaffa (12/1)

A tricky affair with the three-year-olds likely to prove to strong for their elders headed by BRASCA. He has reasonable excuses for his last two defeats and down in grade here, he can get back to winning ways. Lord Lamington has been unreliable of late but didn't perform badly last weekend and has form at this venue whilst Cosmic Landscape has stamina in his pedigree and lightly raced for his age.
