City Wanderer^v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 75| D

28/1

Risk Taker¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| BF

5/1

Big improvement to win soft-ground handicap at Haydock (7f). 3/1, below-form sixth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to soft) next time. Worth another chance.

Form: 45-616

(10)

Al Namir³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 80| BF

8/1

Showed fairly useful form when placed on first 2 starts in 2019. Well backed when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/5) at Newmarket (7f) on return. Evidently thought capable of better.

Form: 323-5

(5)

Brunel Charm¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes| OR: 79

40/1

Eleventh of 15 in handicap (66/1) on turf debut at Newbury (8f, good to soft) 15 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 14-2070

(1)

Rectory Road⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: R Harris| OR: 72| D

10/1

Back to form when close third of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, very slowly away. Not taken lightly.

Form: 37-8993

(3)

Cosmic Power²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77| CD

7/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 7/1) under this rider 29 days ago, pushed out. Remains low mileage and comes into the reckoning.

Form: 219-861

(6)

Motawaafeq^p,h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

6/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Chepstow (10f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Booking of Buick a plus. Likely to continue in form.

Form: 262664

(2)

Vulcan¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 73

10/1

11/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newbury (9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Free-going sort who could do with calming down a bit.

Form: 443-052

Forecasts

River Dawn (4/1), Mostawaa (5/1), Risk Taker (5/1), Motawaafeq (6/1), Cosmic Power (7/1), Al Namir (8/1), Rectory Road (10/1), Vulcan (10/1), City Wanderer (28/1), Brunel Charm (40/1), Candelisa (40/1)

RISK TAKER's soft-ground handicap win at Haydock has worked out well so is worth another chance having disappointed at Newbury since. Rectory Road ran his best race for this yard when only just failing off this mark at Bath last week despite a very slow start, so is another to consider along with improving 3-y-o Cosmic Power.
