Astrogem¹⁰

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Sandown (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Plenty to find on form.

Big Impact¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh| T: R Brisland| OR: 73| D

22/1

Lightly-raced winner. 6/4, career best when winning 6-runner maiden at Southwell (6.1f), kept up to work. Off 175 days and much more on his plate now handicapping.

Cotai Again²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 72

16/1

Creditable second of 12 in maiden (11/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way chance back in a handicap off a decent mark.

Form: 2235-02

Two wins from 3 runs this year, the latest at Kempton in July. 11/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred from a win point of view.

Winnetka¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72

33/1

66/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (8.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 52-3244

Miss Thoughtful²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70| D

10/1

12/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Solid each-way chance if she at least matches that form here.

Form: 29-1592

(4)

Alwaatn Sound¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

11/8

Promising type. Won 5-runner minor event at Hamilton (5f, soft, 13/8) 16 days ago, driven out. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and bold show likely in the hands of James Doyle.

Form: 3-61

(8)

Monsieur Patat¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: R Brisland| OR: 66

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Probably capable of better, but shapes as though a stiffer test is what he needs.

Form: 454

(2)

Sur Mer²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 66

8/1

Unreliable individual. 17/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 25 days ago. Claims if able to back that up with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 223362

We're Reunited^p,h²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 61

15/2

9/2 and hooded for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, soft) 2 days ago. May again find a few too good if turned out again quickly.

Form: 67-0755

Forecasts

Alwaatn Sound (11/8), We're Reunited (15/2), Sur Mer (8/1), Monsieur Patat (9/1), Otago (9/1), Miss Thoughtful (10/1), Cotai Again (16/1), The Blue Bower (22/1), Big Impact (22/1), Astrogem (28/1), Millionaire Waltz (28/1), Bezzas Lad (33/1), Winnetka (33/1), I'm Watching You (80/1)

There should be better to come from ALWAATN SOUND, who pulled clear of the rest with the runner-up when scoring at Hamilton recently. The return to this trip shouldn't be an issue and he's on a potentially handy mark for this handicap bow. Cotai Again and Miss Thoughtful both have each-way claims judged on their latest efforts, while Monsieur Patat possesses potential but may need a stiffer test.
