15/8

10/11, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 6 days ago, keeping on well. Clearly in rude health at present and big player down in trip.

Chetan⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| D

33/1

Latest win at Leicester in June. Eighth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago, hampered. Needs a couple of these to falter.

15/2

Won 12-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 20/1) 10 days ago, staying on well. No sure thing to be in same form here given previous exploits this term.

Prince Llyr¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Main| OR: 62

9/1

18/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago, possibly still in need of the run. However, he hasn't stood much racing as a rule.

Form: 954/3-65

Native Silver⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 62| D

16/1

1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in February. 11/2, last of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 66 days ago. Still to prove his effectiveness on turf.

Form: 1400-10

Fitzrovia⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 61| BF| D

4/1

Fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft, 5/1) 45 days ago, denied a run 3f out and never a threat. This should reveal more.

Form: 96787-0

Vixen¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 58| D

12/1

33/1, stepped up on return effort with a respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Needs to build on that again to figure, however.

Form: 0003-04

Derry Boy (15/8), Harbour Vision (3/1), Fitzrovia (4/1), The Stalking Moon (15/2), Hedging (15/2), Prince Llyr (9/1), Gates Pass (10/1), He's Our Star (10/1), Vixen (12/1), Native Silver (16/1), Chetan (33/1), Limerick Lord (40/1), Valentine Mist (80/1)

HARBOUR VISION has made a good start for David Brown, making all in good style at Doncaster 4 days ago. With his rider's claim off-setting his penalty, he's fancied to make another bold bid. Derry Boy has been in rude health himself of late and is the lead threat, ahead of Hedging and He's Our Star.
