Lunar Deity⁴⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorenzo Atzori⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 62| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 45 days ago. 8 lb higher back on AW and others make more appeal.

Form: 950239

Bayston Hill^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62| CD

2/1

Won 12-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D a fortnight ago. Nicely on top at the finish that day and 4 lb rise could've been worse, so he has to enter calculations.

Form: 358631

Tangramm^p²⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: George Downing| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 10/1). Has dipped to a potentially handy mark, but 9-month absence to overcome.

Form: 384000-

Double Reflection¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| D

11/1

Twenty four runs since last win in 2018. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. Minor place money may be the best she can hope for.

Form: 234044

(7)

Dyagilev^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 57| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 16/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 10 days ago, slowly away. May be seen in a better light now back on AW and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 122390

Bartimaeus²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: D J Coakley| OR: 55

16/1

11/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Down another 2 lb, but needs to find a bit of improvement from somewhere in order to shed his maiden tag here.

Form: 354-075

Fivehundredmiles^b¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 55| BF| CD

28/1

Course winner. Latest win here in June. 11/4, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 134287

Artistic Vision^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 59

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Tongue strap enlisted now switched to polytrack and needs to raise her game a notch.

Form: 3590

(4)

Bad Attitude⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: L McJannet| OR: 58| CD

10/1

C&D winner in March. 8/1, last of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 68 days ago. Likely to fare better back on this surface, but doubt he has much in hand of current mark.

Form: 60-2310

(2)

Poetica¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 58

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Ripon (9.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Open to improvement now making the switch to handicap company and she's one to note in the betting.

Form: 934

(6)

Fair Man²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 55

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good) 22 days ago. That represented a significant step forward and should be in the mix if able to build on that.

Form: 0753

(5)

Bogeyman^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 52

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (11.6f, good) 22 days ago, slowly away. Like many from his respected yard, he may leave previous form behind now handicapping.

Form: 060

(12)

Luxford⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 45| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2017. Seventh of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 096-307

(1)

Outlaw Torn^e/s⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-12| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 45| CD

100/1

C&D winner. Thirty five runs since last win in 2018. 150/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. This 11-y-o has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 667-990
