10/3

Picked up his third win of the year on his penultimate start when he scored at Chester (5f). Stepped up to Listed company last time where he struggled, finishing last of 17 runners. This assignment will be easier. One to consider.

4/6

Bididing for a hat-trick of wins here following success at York (5½f) and then victory over this C&D last time out, the latter where he justified going off as the odds-on favourite at 4/7. Has been raised 8lb but he is a leading player again.

18/1

Made an encouraging start to his career with two victories over this distance back in April. His form has taken a dip since. His latest effort did come in a Group 3 contest at Goodwood (5f) where he was 12th of 13 runners. Others appeal more. here

9/2

Broke her maiden at the fifth attempt last time when she scored by 5L at Southwell (5f) on the AW after going off at 5/6. She makes her handicap debut here on her return to turf. Leading contender to follow up.

Forecasts

Ainsdale (4/6), Praxeology (10/3), Daily Times (9/2), Glamorous Anna (12/1), Zulu Zander (18/1)

AINSDALE is looking to repeat his C&D success here earlier this month for what will be a third straight victory and he can do that despite an 8lb rise in the weights. The progressive colt stayed on strongly at the finish last time which indicates there is much more to come from him. Daily Times was impressive when she broke her maiden at Southwell on the AW on her latest start and she should offer the strongest challenge on her handicap debut, while Praxeology can be in contention at the finish on his return to handicap company.
