7/2
Winning for the eighth time when victorious by ½L over this trip at Goodwood (good-to-firm) last month. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are retained racing off a 3lb higher mark in this contest.

4/1
Put a slightly disappointing effort behind him when beaten a nose over 6f at Kempton at the start of this month. Races off the same mark here and is of interest stepping up in distance on his return to turf.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR:  70
9/4
Making her seasonal reappearance when finishing 2½L third in a 1m handicap at Newbury (good) last month. Races off the same mark in this contest and holds strong claims dropping back in trip.

15/2
Lost many lengths at the start prior to finishing 1½L fifth in a 6f handicap at Doncaster (good-to-firm) last time out. Has won off higher marks in the past and looks worth another try at this distance.

12/1
Promising fourth on stable debut in a 7f maiden at Yarmouth (good) last month and finished a fair ninth in a novice contest subsequently. More needed than when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) earlier this month.

5/1
Ran well when finishing 2¾L fourth in a 1m handicap on the AW at Lingfield at the end of last month. Races off his 5lb lower turf mark here and market support would be notable.

18/1
C&D winner ended last season with a nose second in a 7f handicap at Kempton at the end of October. Changed stables since and is probably best watched following two heavy defeats including over 1m at Windsor (good) last time out.

40/1
Beaten 11L when finishing third in a 1m handicap on good ground here on his penultimate start but struggled over the same trip at Kempton five days later. Others hold more obvious claims racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Madame Tantzy (9/4), Sir Roderic (7/2), Barrington (4/1), In The Cove (5/1), Double Up (15/2), Hawafez (12/1), Glamorous Crescent (18/1), Satchville Flyer (40/1)

Verdict

SIR RODERIC represents a stable with a 20% strike-rate (4/20) in recent weeks and he is taken to follow up his Goodwood success last time out by triumphing in this handicap event. The selection can get the better of Madame Tantzy who was placed over further on her most recent start while third place can go to Barrington who is stepping up in trip following a narrow defeat on the AW last time.
  1. Sir Roderic
  2. Madame Tantzy
  3. Barrington
