Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Kate Leahy| T: A Watson| OR: 74| D

16/1

Victorious four times most recently over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last month. Fair form in six subsequent starts and is worth a check in the market back down to her last winning mark.

Form: 657455

2/1

Finished runner-up on both starts since winning over 5f by a neck on good-to-soft ground here last month. Beaten 1¾L in a heavy ground event at Goodwood (5f) last week and looks likely to play a leading role in this contest.

Form: 431122

The Lamplighter^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane| T: George Baker| OR: 71| D

9/2

Impressive 3¾L winner in a 6f handicap at Goodwood (good) on his penultimate start. Met trouble in running when 3L seventh at Epsom (6f, good) subsequently and remains of interest.

9/1

Completed a hat-trick when winning by ½L in a 6f handicap at Ffos Las (good) a month ago. Struggled on good-to-soft going at Chepstow (6f) subsequently and best form has come on a sound surface.

Well beaten in four starts since finishing third on good-to-firm ground over 5f at Lingfield in June. Races off a mark 1lb higher than when successful on soft ground over 6f at Goodwood earlier that month.

Bay Watch¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Bacon⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt| OR: 67| CD

9/2

Winner of his first three starts for this stable including by 1¼L over 6f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) early last month. Decent effort when 3L sixth over this C&D subsequently but would likely prefer the ground quicker than is forecast.

Form: 60-1116

Met By Moonlight¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Georgia Dobie| T: R J Hodges| OR: 66| CD

7/1

Beaten just 1¾L when fifth in a good-to-soft ground handicap over this C&D on her penultimate start. Struggled on firm ground here subsequently and interesting to see how she performs.

16/1

Ran well to finish fourth in a good ground conditions race over 6f at Deauville early last month. Struggled on heavy ground over the same C&D subsequently and placed off a 10lb higher mark here in May.

Forecasts

Kodiak Attack (2/1), Thegreyvtrain (11/4), The Lamplighter (9/2), Bay Watch (9/2), Spanish Star (13/2), Met By Moonlight (7/1), Gilt Edge (9/1), Joegogo (10/1), Champion Brogie (16/1), Alicia Darcy (16/1)

KODIAK ATTACK performed well when runner-up last week and he can go one better by taking the concluding race on the card, a sprint handicap. Thegreyvtrain has been running well in defeat in recent times and she can finish runner-up in this contest ahead of The Lamplighter who can take third.
