Unreliable individual. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago, missing break. Runner-up at the same course on penultimate start, form which gives him a real chance.

Modest gelding. Bit below form third of 10 in minor event at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 11/1) 10 days ago, well positioned. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.

Modest mare. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, all out. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Tilsworth Rose (5/2), Sovereign State (11/4), Creek Harbour (5/1), Aghast (10/1), Fantasy Justifier (11/1), Sugar Plum Fairy (12/1), The Mackem Rocket (20/1), Charles Le Brun (22/1), Crimson Princess (22/1), Poppy Jag (22/1), Shaun's Delight (28/1), Lokal Heroine (40/1), Love Not Money (66/1), Storm Lightning (80/1), Inverarity (150/1)

Verdict

SOVEREIGN STATE and Tilsworth Rose look the most solid options in the context of this race. The latter resumed winning ways in gritty fashion at Lingfield and should make another bold bid but preference is for Sovereign State, who performed with credit back from a 10-month absence at Chepstow and his claims will be enhanced if the forecast rain arrives. Sugar Plum Fairy may be best of the rest.

  1. SOVEREIGN STATE
  2. TILSWORTH ROSE
  3. SUGAR PLUM FAIRY
