Muhallab⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Davis| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 51| D

13/2

Broke his maiden at the 12th attempt when victorious in a 7f event at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) last time out. Slight change of tactics appeared to suit that day and he holds strong claims under a 6lb penalty.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 52| D

22/1

Well beaten fifth in a good ground C&D handicap in June. Given a break since and is worth a check in the market off a mark 3lb lower than for his success.

50/1

Sole success from 14 starts came over 6f on the AW at Kempton in August 2017. Disappointing for this yard in 2018 and had wind surgery since suffering a heavy defeat at Kempton (1m) last October.

Form: 78/7700-

10/1

Good second in a handicap over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-firm) on her penultimate start but disappointed at Yarmouth (7f, good-to-firm) last time out. Interesting if putting latest effort behind her.

Placed on two most recent starts including when third in a soft ground 7f handicap at Salisbury last time out. Of interest off a 1lb lower mark.

13 race maiden recorded one of his better efforts when 2L third over 1m at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting contender dropping back in trip.

25/1

Victorious by a short-head in a 1m handicap at Brighton (good-to-soft) in June. Well beaten on only subsequent start however and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 05/50-17

Ascot Dreamer^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 52

25/1

Fair effort in finishing seventh in a 6f handicap on the AW at Newcastle last time out. More needed stepping up in distance.

7/1

Broke her maiden when taking a 7f handicap at Epsom (good) on her penultimate start and ran well when runner-up over the same trip at Brighton (good-to-firm) subsequently. Leading contender off a mark 4lb higher than for that Epsom success.

Running well in defeat of late including when 2L second in a 6f handicap on good-to-firm going here recently. Has run well over this C&D in the past.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 46

25/1

16 race maiden finished a fair sixth in a 7f handicap at Chepstow (good) last start. Likely more needed if he is to take this event.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Gabriele Malune| T: M Murphy| OR: 46

66/1

Held in all three starts in novice company most recently when 18L ninth over 7f at Kempton last month. Market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Sea Tea Dea⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 46| D

7/1

Narrowly beaten in a 1m classified contest at Bath (good-to-firm) on her penultimate start and finished a decent 1½L fifth at Ffos Las (good) subsequently. Likely to run her race once more.

Held on both starts since joining this stable including over 1m at Brighton (good-to-firm) earlier at the weekend. Probably best watched racing from out of the handicap.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Megan Nicholls| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

25/1

Good second over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) on her penultimate start but disapponting upped to this trip at Brighton (7f, good-to-firm) last time out. Others hold stronger claims racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Hi Ho Silver (5/1), Captain Sedgwick (6/1), Muhallab (13/2), Arctic Flower (13/2), Sea Tea Dea (7/1), Lady Morpheus (7/1), Dalness Express (15/2), Little Miss Kodi (10/1), Tavener (12/1), Flying Sakhee (16/1), Aiguillette (20/1), Ubla (22/1), Ascot Dreamer (25/1), Reshaan (25/1), Miss Recycled (25/1), Sugar Plum Fairy (25/1), W G Grace (50/1), Tilsworth Diamond (66/1)

Recent winner MUHALLAB can follow up his Musselburgh success with a victory in this competitive opening handicap. The selection can defy a penalty for that victory and he can get the better of fellow penalised runner and top weight Captain Sedgwick while third place can go to Sea Tea Dea who finished a close second on her penultimate start.
