Swift Approval¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| D

5/1

10-time winner including twice this season and showed capabilities off this mark latest when third but beaten just 1L at Leicester. Should make another bold bid in this open enough contest.

Form: 915163

Dourado²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 81| CD

7/2

Entitled to come on for reappearance after a break at Chelmsford latest and is basically a very consistent sort when on song so could easily bounce back and go well.

Form: 442-328

Zeyzoun^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 79| D

9/4

Only won once but basically pretty consistent. Slightly disappointing at Chelmsford latest but still only beaten 4L. Be surprising if he isn't involved here where it matters.

Form: 632027

Red Bravo⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 72| D

8/1

Yet to add to his 25/1 debut win and for all he is less exposed than most patience is starting to wear thin now although his handicap continues to slide.

Form: 50-8564

Global Destination⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71| BF| D

14/1

Won twice over 5f in June but below expectations twice since suggesting new handicap mark is beyond him. Still suspect he can do a little better here.

Form: 761185

Young Bernie⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

9/2

Unplaced in three pretty strong contests to date and having just his fourth start at the end of his four-year-old season. Could be more to come now handicapping and market support would bolster confidence.

Form: 6-54

Arctic Flower¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 49| D

33/1

Five-time winner although not since 2017. Very poor effort at Kempton latest when a remote last and hard to fancy now.

Form: 792330

(7)

Poet's Magic³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: J G Portman| OR: 64

10/1

Improvement last three; all over C&D. Running on second of 14 latest arguably the best of the bunch and on the back of that effort she has to be seriously considered seeking her maiden score.

Form: 980242

Forecasts

Zeyzoun (9/4), Dourado (7/2), Young Bernie (9/2), Swift Approval (5/1), Red Bravo (8/1), Poet's Magic (10/1), Global Destination (14/1), Arctic Flower (33/1)

After three excellent efforts here of late today can be the day for POET'S MAGIC to get off the mark off bottom weight under Nicola Currie. Consistent sort Swift Approval is also sure to go close and Zeyzoun is another likely sort despite running below par latest.
