Restorer^p1²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 95| CD

15/2

Winning reappearance at Newbury in June and again performed well here (course form figures read 1422) when runner-up over C&D last month. Latest effort was poor, though, and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 02-1728

Lawn Ranger²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 92| CD

13/2

Back to form when narrowly seeing off Strait of Hormuz on first run here over C&D last time. In light of the runner-up's victory in strong Doncaster handicap on Wednesday, a 2 lb rise looks very fair.

Form: 67-3601

Victory Chime^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 92| D

5/2

Likeable type who hit the target 3 times in 2019 and upped his game another notch when making a winning reappearance at Windsor. Creditable fourth off this mark at Sandown since and merits respect.

Form: 5131-14

Be More⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| C| D

9/2

Three-time winner last year and added to her tally upped to this trip at Sandown in July. Didn't see her race out quite so well at Goodwood next time, though, and current mark probably sums her up.

Form: 141-315

Prejudice^p⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 88| BF

15/8

Yet to add to Redcar nursery success in 2018, but hasn't done much wrong since and was just touched off by subsequent French Group 1 winner Audarya in 10.2f Newcastle handicap last time. Major player.

Form: 432-522

22/1

Ripon maiden winner last year and was doing his best work at the finish when third over 10.2f on return at Newcastle in June. 10/1, last of 7 in handicap at this course (12.3f, good) 1 day ago.

Form: 1045-37

PREJUDICE looks a major player after his Newcstle second 6 weeks ago, the winner having gone on to advertise the form. Lawn Ranger and Victory Chime are others to consider.
