In good form of late following up a neck victory over this trip at Chelmsford last month with a 1½L second over the same trip at Kempton last time out. One to note off a mark 3lb higher than for that Chelmsford success.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 64

8/1

Finished a decent sixth in a 12 runner 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last time out. Best form has come over shorter however and more needed if she's to take this event.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 65

20/1

Promising return to action when finishing sixth in a 7f handicap at Kempton at the start of this month. Likely to have improved for the run and may surprise a few better fancied rivals.

Beaten 3¼L when finishing fourth in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford on his rerecent return from a break. Interesting to see how he performs dropping back in trip.

16/1

Winner of a 1m handicap at Brighton (good-to-soft) in Octobe r2017. Absent since finishing third at Leicester (7f, good-to-soft) later that month however. Others make more appeal.

Well held in three starts since finishing third in a small field 7f handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) in April. Probably best watched on return from a break.

Regressed in two starts since finishing 1L second in a 7f amateur riders contest at Leicester (good-to-firm) in July. Others appear to hold stronger claims.

16/1

Built on a promising 3L fourth at Windsor (6f, soft) when winning over the same C&D on heavy ground last time out. Worth a check in the market under a 5lb penalty.

Forecasts

Sonnet Rose (7/2), Vincenzo Coccotti (6/1), Fiery Breath (13/2), Beepeecee (7/1), Chetan (8/1), Napping (8/1), Freedom And Wheat (12/1), Arctic Flower (16/1), Incentive (16/1), Wordismybond (16/1), Good Luck Charm (20/1), Altar Boy (20/1), Hellovasinger (20/1), The British Lion (33/1)

SONNET ROSE has been running well in recent starts and she can register a victory by defying top weight in this apprentice handicap. The selection showed good form when runner-up on her most recent start and she can get the better of Vincenzo Coccotti who ran well when placed on debut for this yard while Altar Boy who showed promise on his return from a break can take third.
