Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 62| CD

9/2

Improved performer since upped to this trip, winning a pair of handicaps over C&D this month. Just 3 lb higher now and not taken lightly.

Form: 9-80211

(10)

Artistic Vision¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61

Form: 359

G For Gabrial^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60| C

15/2

Fair winning juvenile who returned to form when fourth at Musselburgh in June. Below that level twice since, though, and has bit to prove on overall form.

Form: 65-7409

Itwouldberudenotto²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

Binyon¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 60

5/1

Arrives in decent form, running right up to best when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good) 18 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 07-9452

(13)

Violette Szabo^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Aiden Smithies⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 58

20/1

Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when ½-length third of 9 to Puckle in handicap over C&D (firm) 15 days ago. Percentage call is to look elsewhere, however.

Form: 6-00883

(15)

Max's Voice³⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paula Muir| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 57| BF

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't been seen since below form sixth at Chepstow 11 months ago. Market best guide to claims on return for new connections here.

Form: 7666-

(12)

Lockdown Dream^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

Exotic Escape²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Megan Nicholls| T: D Loughnane| OR: 57

Dangeroffizz^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| D

11/4

Improved for the drop in trip when opening account at Ripon (9.8f) last month. Upped game further when short-head second to Puckle over C&D (good to firm) since and looks sure to go well again.

Form: 09-4612

(16)

Van Dijk⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

16/1

Back on track when third of 12 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good) 9 days ago, never nearer. Well worth a crack at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 724773

(5)

Helmoona⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁷⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 52

50/1

No impact in a trio of minor events to date but makes some appeal on pedigree and may do better now switched to handicapping.

Form: 87-0

(2)

Wrightia²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 50

66/1

Well beaten over a variety of trips thus far and is hard to recommend on first attempt in handicap company.

(11)

Champagne Fountain⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45

28/1

Form: 09977

(8)

Quiet Rain²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

200/1

Shown nothing in a trio of maidens/minor events and remains to be seen if handicapping brings about any improvement. 1 lb out of the weights.

Form: 970

Forecasts

Dangeroffizz (11/4), Puckle (9/2), Binyon (5/1), Artistic Vision (5/1), G For Gabrial (15/2), Exotic Escape (14/1), Itwouldberudenotto (14/1), Van Dijk (16/1), Violette Szabo (20/1), Champagne Fountain (28/1), Lockdown Dream (40/1), Helmoona (50/1), Wrightia (66/1), Max's Voice (66/1), Allerthorpe (100/1), Quiet Rain (200/1)

DANGEROFFIZZ upped his form a notch when narrowly foiled over C&D earlier this month and still looks on a fair mark. He gets the nod in an open-looking handicap. Puckle just landed the spoils on that occasion and looks sure to go well again, whilst Binyon and Van Dijk also make the shortlist.
