Englishman^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Philip Prince| T: J M Bradley| OR: 55| D

20/1

Won off 24lb higher in May 2018 but has been mostly out of form since. Did show some spark at Lingfield in July and Windsor four weeks ago and drops into this grade for the first time. More than good enough on a going day.

Form: 503657

Tarseekh^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C Wallis| OR: 55| CD

9/2

A front-runner with a decent record here and been in good heart all summer, most recently going down narrowly at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 17 days ago. Hard to keep out of the frame in his current form.

Form: 442212

Terri Rules⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 54

16/1

All four wins at shorter than 6f and performed creditably in a seller at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last week. Evidently going well and is consistent but will likely to find a couple too good over this trip.

Good Business^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Spiller| OR: 53| CD

20/1

Three wins in 2018 (including two over C&D) off similar marks but hasn't been in the same form this season. Shown a little more the last twice at Yarmouth but hopes rest on return to this track if she's to get her head in front.

Form: 17-0035

Senorita Grande^v⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55

9/2

Ran well on both AW starts so far, including a career-best when just touched off at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) on Saturday. Going to right way and this unexposed filly has strong claims of getting off the mark.

Form: 438482

Kellington Kitty^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 53| D

6/1

Returned from midsummer break with two good efforts, notably a 6L win at Bath (5½f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Seemed to handle this surface when placed in April but 8lb rise might be enough to prevent a follow-up.

Form: 367031

Quick Recovery^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 52| BF| D

7/1

Needs considering on her three wins in 2018, including two on the AW. Back in better form the last twice over C&D and at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 17 days ago but behind Tarseekh on both occasions and needs more to win.

Form: 958435

Mystical Moon⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 51| CD

8/1

Won twice in the Spring, including over C&D, but has generally struggled since. Trailed home last at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) on Friday and others are more consistent and have stronger claims.

Form: 505060

Manzoni¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Moubarak| OR: 51

20/1

Showed limited signs of ability in three runs so far on Fibresand and turf (all 6f). Handicapping off a basement mark but hard to know what to expect on those opening efforts and is best watched.

Form: 509

(9)

Swell Song^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 50

16/1

All seven starts over 5f, he posted at personal best when third, beaten ½L, at Yarmouth (good to firm) last time out. First try at this trip but going the right way and is not ruled out.

Form: 44-5733

(10)

Wild Flower^v1²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: L McJannet| OR: 47| D

33/1

Hasn't got the best strike-rate (3/53) and first start for this yard wasn't particularly encouraging at Brighton (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces but would be a surprise winner.

Form: 393505

(4)

Prince Rock^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 46

9/2

18-race maiden but has been holding his form well mostly this year. Behind Tarseekh twice recently and without an apprentice's claim, isn't weighted to reverse the form. Should run his race but place claims at best.

Form: 723243

Tigerinmytank²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Holt| OR: 45

20/1

Yet to win in 13 outings. Hasn't ran badly when beaten fairly the last twice at Brighton (5½f, good to firm) and Lingfield (5f, good) but not sure this trip is ideal and needs a shot of improvement to break her duck.

Forecasts

Senorita Grande (9/2), Prince Rock (9/2), Tarseekh (9/2), Kellington Kitty (6/1), Quick Recovery (7/1), Mystical Moon (8/1), Terri Rules (16/1), Swell Song (16/1), Englishman (20/1), Tigerinmytank (20/1), Manzoni (20/1), Good Business (20/1), Spenny's Lass (25/1), Wild Flower (33/1)

A tricky contest to close proceedings where SENORITA GRANDE gets the nod. Lightly raced and unexposed, she was just touched off last weekend and can get off the mark here. Tarseekh has been admirably consistent all season and has a good record here so will be a big danger whilst Kellington Kitty should've got a confidence boost after her Bath romp but a hike in the weights might be enough to stop her repeating the feat.
