18/1

C&D winner finished runner-up over this trip on two most recent starts including when beaten ½L on soft ground at Ripon last time out. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and is one to note in this contest.

4/1

Best effort in three starts since dead-heating over 7f at Sandown (good-to-soft) in June came when a good second over this C&D last time out. Of interest racing off the same mark on this occasion.

Form: 41-1652

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H Morrison| OR: 86| CD

8/1

Put a below par effort behind him when winning over an extended 1m at Epsom (good) last time out. Raised 6lb for that victory and has won over this C&D in the past.

17/2

Dual turf winner ran well to finish 1½L fourth in a valuable handicap over an extended 7f at Chester (good) at the end of last month. Interesting to see how he fares on first attempt at this distance.

11/4

Followed up a victory over this C&D in July with a ½L success over the same trip at Redcar (good) later that month. Notable runner for a top yard having finished a decent ninth in a valuable big field handicap at York (1m, good-to-firm) last month.

Form: 385119

Cadre Du Noir²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 87| BF| D

9/2

Off the mark at the second time of asking when winning over 1m at Newmarket (good) in June. Beaten favourite when 5L third at Goodwood (1m2f, good-to-firm) earlier this month and market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Form: 3-13

Quick Breath¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| C

16/1

Running well in defeat since scoring over 7f here in June. Good 1¾L third over the same C&D last time out and is an interesting runner on his first attempt at this distance.

Forecasts

Edaraat (11/4), Pesto (4/1), Cadre Du Noir (9/2), Lawmaking (6/1), Surrey Hope (8/1), Sir Busker (17/2), Quick Breath (16/1), Donncha (18/1)

LAWMAKING shaped like an improved performer on his first start back from wind surgery last time out and he can follow up that Chelmsford victory with success in this Class 3 handicap. The selection looks capable of getting the better of Edaraat who tackled a more competitive race than this last time out while third can go the way of the veteran Donncha who carries top weight.
