11/2

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. One to consider with stable going well.

Form: 668-194

Rousayan¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| D

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 442956

Fred²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 27 days ago, folding. Could get involved if able to recapture the pick of his juvenile efforts.

Form: 8116-0

28/1

25/1, last of 12 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Seems to have returned badly out of sorts this term.

Form: 0124-80

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| BF| D

7/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Leading claims in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 24-1123

18/1

C&D winner. 12/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 14-6727

Harry Love³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 80

14/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. 50/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, firm) 31 days ago. Not certain to back that up.

Form: 114-071

(11)

Caballero⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72| BF| C

11/1

Course winner. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good, 9/2) 6 days ago, not ideally placed. Not totally dismissed.

Copper And Five⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 71

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 46 days ago, running on. May do better still.

Form: 4-23

(5)

Real Smooth⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 70

40/1

66/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, soft) 7 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 7226-00

(9)

How Bizarre⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 69| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Good second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good, 9/2) 6 days ago. Shaped best on latest outing and, if unhassled in front, could prove hard to peg back.

Form: 134472

Forecasts

Le Chiffre (7/2), How Bizarre (4/1), Hayadh (11/2), Fred (11/2), Rousayan (6/1), Caballero (11/1), Copper And Five (14/1), Harry Love (14/1), Gometra Ginty (18/1), Makyon (28/1), Real Smooth (40/1)

LE CHIFFRE was doing his best work at the finish when third at Beverley recently, so he can find enough improvement to get his head back in front returning to this trip. How Bizarre shaped best having gone off hard at this track 6 days ago, so he's the main danger ahead of Hayadh.
