Delilah Park¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 92| CD

11/4

4-time C&D winner. Six wins from 20 Flat runs. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 33/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, running on. 7 lb rise makes this tougher.

Form: 212-101

Zhui Feng³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 88| C

12/1

Not the force that saw him win the 2017 Royal Hunt Cup but his mark is beginning to reflect that and he fared better when fourth at Goodwood recently. Could take a hand.

Form: 0-63404

Spirit Warning^v1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 15/2) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Merits consideration, especially back on the all-weather.

Form: 7-52407

Tintoretto²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 84| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 9/2, probably remained in form when seventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 511647

(12)

Melodic Charm¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 88WS

28/1

Possibly needed the run after 6 months off when 9 lengths seventh of 9 to Malotru in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW, 12/1). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve.

Form: 14-7

(6)

Tipperary Jack²⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Best| OR: 83| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 7/2, not in same form when eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW), short of room briefly over 2f out and not knocked about. Off 8 months.

Form: 148518-

Corazon Espinado⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 82| C| D

40/1

Course winner. 22/1, rare poor effort when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 136580

La Maquina^t⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 80| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 25/1, did well under the circumstances when second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 48 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt.

Form: 9206-62

(4)

Impatient³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 84| C

7/1

Form: 871-280

(11)

Badri^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 84| D

8/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. 4/1, failed to come on for reappearance when third of 5 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 65-1133

(9)

Radetsky¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: L McJannet| OR: 80| D

20/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Found run of good form coming to a halt when ninth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 10 days ago.

Form: 8-82119

(10)

Clog Maker¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80| CD

12/1

Promising sort. Course winner. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 6/5, won 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW), responding well. Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 4-11

Forecasts

Delilah Park (11/4), Tintoretto (6/1), Impatient (7/1), Badri (8/1), La Maquina (17/2), Tipperary Jack (17/2), Clog Maker (12/1), Zhui Feng (12/1), Spirit Warning (14/1), Radetsky (20/1), Melodic Charm (28/1), Corazon Espinado (40/1)

CLOG MAKER looks just the type to do well in handicaps for Mark Johnston and he gets the nod to complete a hat-trick after 6 months off with further improvement anticipated. La Maquina is feared most having done well under the circumstances to finish runner-up over this C&D in July, ahead of Spirit Warning and Melodic Charm.
