Ventura Destiny⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 64| D

9/4

Appreciated the strong pace on her handicap debut winning at Newcastle (7f). Up 6lb for that but it didn't stop her following-up at Southwell (7f, Fibresand) nine days ago by 5L. Up another 10lb here but is rapidly improving and hard to dismiss.

Form: 76811

Captain Corelli³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 59| BF

7/1

Sent off favourite on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) five weeks ago and was beaten 3L in fifth. Didn't really improve on previous form in that contest and will need to step forward to get off the mark.

Form: 7756

Fact Or Fable^p¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: J S Moore| OR: 57

20/1

Well beaten on last six starts in Britain and France over a range of trips, with a variety of headgear. Others more persuasive.

Form: 750808

You Don't Own Me^b1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 56| BF

9/2

Switch to handicaps have yielded three fair efforts, all at Kempton (6f/7f). Those prove she can be competitive off this mark and is more likely than most to give her running.

Form: 748533

(6)

Parker's Boy⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: B Barr| OR: 55

28/1

Well beaten on all four starts, including switched to handicaps last time. Beaten 17½L into eleventh of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) on that occasion and hard to be enthusiastic about his claims.

Form: 5570

(7)

Camacho Man²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: J Candlish| OR: 53| BF

3/1

Produced a career best effort when 2¼L second to Ventura Destiny at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last time out. Has a 20lb swing at the weights with that improving rival and has to be given a chance to reverse the form.

Form: 789492

Gold Venture¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 52

33/1

Won two of first three starts for Archie Watson then joined current yard in July. Regressed since and despite tumbling handicap mark is hard to get excited about at present.

Form: 407090

Butterfly Pose^p1⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 50

33/1

Has struggled in five starts at very long odds so far. Poor effort in a French claimer two starts ago before finishing last, beaten 26L, at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in a seller. Easily overlooked.

Cappella Fella⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 49

18/1

Well beaten on third outing last time here (6f) but that was better than his two previous efforts on turf. This handicap debut requires improvement and keeping an eye on the market may be the best guide.

Form: 688

(8)

Schumli^t1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 48

10/1

Nine-race maiden who struggles for consistency. Wasn't disgraced two starts ago at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) but was disappointing over the C&D last time and hard to know what to expect.

Forecasts

Ventura Destiny (9/4), Camacho Man (3/1), You Don't Own Me (9/2), Captain Corelli (7/1), Schumli (10/1), Serious Jockin (12/1), Cappella Fella (18/1), Fact Or Fable (20/1), Van Dijk (25/1), Parker's Boy (28/1), Butterfly Pose (33/1), Gold Venture (33/1)

With a paucity of opposition, this race revolves around Newcastle 1-2 Ventura Destiny and CAMACHO MAN. The former is in red-hot form and bidding for a hat-trick but is rocketing in the weights, which means that Jennie Candlish's inmate is 20lb better off and is taken to reverse the form. Of the others, You Don't Own Me has been competitive in similar races of late and a repeat of those would see her make the frame.
