12/1

Placed third, beaten 3L in a 5f handicap at Bath (good-to-firm) in June but has failed to replicate that effort in two subsequent starts. Others hold more obvious claims.

14/1

Placed five times from eight starts including when 6L second in a three runner 5f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) just under a month ago. More needed if she is to take this race.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 53| D

33/1

Well beaten fifth in a 6f handicap at Ripon (good) last month when returning to turf. Has won off higher marks on the all-weather in the past but is probably best watched as he seeks a first turf victory at the 16th time of asking.

18/1

Dual winner show promise when fifth on stable debut in a classified event over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) last month. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Alba Del Sole (11/4), Undercover Brother (3/1), Cool Strutter (6/1), Fiery Breath (13/2), Katherine Place (9/1), Aquadabra (10/1), Bezzas Lad (11/1), Thegreyvtrain (12/1), Blue Venture (14/1), Big Time Maybe (16/1), Dahik (18/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (33/1), Jorvik Prince (33/1), Dollywaggon Pike (50/1), Gossip (66/1)

COOL STRUTTER has been in good form this campaign and he can register his second victory of the season by taking the concluding sprint handicap. The selection has run well here in the past and he can reverse last months running with Alba Del Sole who looks capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Undercover Brother who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him to claim third.
