Daschas^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 9/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago, finding little having moved into the race nicely. Had previously gone well here and not one to write off.

Form: 01-7529

Spoof¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 84| CD

10/3

Followed up his C&D success when winning 10-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good, 7/2) 16 days ago. Not the most reliable as a rule but clearly in rude health and respected in hat-trick bid.

Form: 668511

Poets Dance²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Rae Guest| OR: 85| D

11/2

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Sixth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago, finding things tougher up in grade. This less demanding and booking of Atzeni catches the eye.

Form: 10-2416

Free Love¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 82| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at York (5f, good) 19 days ago, not getting the clearest of runs. Not one to write off back down in grade.

Form: 20-3427

Doc Sportello^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

17/2

Latest win at Chepstow in August. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 5/1) 7 days ago. No reason why he won't continue in form.

Form: 582145

Diligent Lady⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 80| CD

11/1

Lightly-raced C&D winner. Winner here in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Ascot (5f, good) 43 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Form: 4136

Tropics²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: D K Ivory| OR: 79| C| D

18/1

Course winner. 7 lengths fifth of 7 to Spoof in handicap at this C&D (soft, 8/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip but others mae more appeal.

Grandfather Tom^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 14/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 483246

Bellevarde⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R J Price| OR: 75| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 11/4, creditable second of 5 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 9 days ago. Lines up in a stronger race here but booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye.

Form: 16-6242

Forecasts

Spoof (10/3), Free Love (9/2), Grandfather Tom (5/1), Poets Dance (11/2), Doc Sportello (17/2), Bellevarde (17/2), Diligent Lady (11/1), Daschas (12/1), Tropics (18/1)

SPOOF is a quirky sort but he arrives in fine fettle, landing handicaps over C&D/atSandown in recent weeks and he's fancied to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Free Love, back down in class, and Daschas are others fancied to figure.
