Easy Tiger³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Liam Keniry| T: D Weston| OR: 81| D

20/1

Six-time winner for Malcolm Saunders between 7f - 1m2f. Ran well last time on second start back following more than year absence, only tiring in closing stages. May well be in the mix now off 4lb lower mark.

Strawberry Jack^t,v⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: George Scott| OR: 75| D

6/1

Seemed better for a 103-day break when recovering from tardy start to win cosily at 20/1 over 7f at Chelmsford last week. Carries 6lb penalty and every chance of he doesn't 'bounce' on quick reappearance.

Six Strings^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 79

20/1

Both career wins have come at 6f but stays this trip. Slowly away at Newcastle latest and has been dropped 2lb. Chance of jumping off on terms but needs to raise his game to score.

Busby^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: C Allen| OR: 78| BF| C

6/1

Consistent performer who has been on the premises most starts this term, including a win over 6f here on penultimate start. All four career wins have come at that trip and off 3lb higher looks vulnerable with an extra furlong to cover.

Sir Hamilton^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: L McJannet| OR: 78| C

12/1

Won two novice events for Dennis Quinn almost two years ago but hasn't scored since. Plumetted down the handicap bit has run much better last two starts for current handler and is interesting now returning to this surface and is worth considering.

Alhakmah²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

9/1

Close third in C&D handicap in October off 2lb higher mark and not disgraced two starts since, including over C&D last time. Jockey booking catches eye and is certainly not out of it.

Ocean Paradise^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: W J Knight| OR: 78

10/1

Won mile Nottingham maiden in heavy ground this summer for Charles Hills and will be better for first run for new yard at Newmarket earlier this month following four-month break. Eased 3lb for AW debut.

Form: 23175

Haddaf⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: S C Williams| OR: 76

9/2

Both AW wins have come at 5f but ran well enough over C&D last week when only beaten a length, keeping on well. Fair chance with top jockey booked.

Fuwairt⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73| CD

11/2

Five-time winner in Ireland and off the mark in Britain over C&D in February off 5lb higher mark. Not disgraced last two starts when denied a clear run both times so worth checking for any market interest.

Baltic Prince⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| CD

25/1

Veteran who has won 16 races, including four last year. Couple of fair efforts mid-summer this term but has run poorly either side of those runs and may need more help from handicapper before winning again.

Form: 904490

Velvet Morn²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: W J Knight| OR: 68| C

16/1

Relatively unexposed filly who won 6f novice contest here in March. Beaten favourite after that then absent until earlier this month when stayed on here into sixth over 6f. Should stay and is fairly weighted under fine jockey.

Full Intention^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 68| CD

11/2

Just 4-37 but did the business over C&D last time beating Busby by half a length. Raised 2lb but should be competitive as he makes hs debut for new handler.

Forecasts

Haddaf (9/2), Full Intention (11/2), Fuwairt (11/2), Busby (6/1), Strawberry Jack (6/1), Alhakmah (9/1), Ocean Paradise (10/1), Mendoza (10/1), Sir Hamilton (12/1), Velvet Morn (16/1), Six Strings (20/1), Easy Tiger (20/1), Baltic Prince (25/1)

Plenty capable of winning this tight seven furlong handicap and if the once half-decent SIR HAMILTON can build on two better efforts of late he might go very well with Adam Kirby doing the steering. William Knight's pair of Velvet Morn and Ocean Paradise are both potential improvers, and both Haddaf and Alhakmah cannot be ruled out of the equation. Recent Chelmsford scorer Strawberry Jack is enough worthy of some consideration.
