11/4

Fairly useful bumper winner. Runner-up both starts on Flat, staying on in maiden at Chepstow 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut up in trip so sure to be in the mix.

5/1

Latest win at Kempton in June and respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 26 days ago, left with lot to do. Can make his presence felt.

Amjaady^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019, but respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 5 days ago. Visor back on and one for the shortlist.

Estrela Star⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Stronge| OR: 72| CD

18/1

C&D winner in February but arrives below par, cheekpieces on when only sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (13f) 40 days ago. Back up in trip but others preferred.

Rydan^v²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70| D

10/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019 but posted good fourth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (16.3f) 20 days ago. Dropped 2 lb so expected to be bang there off winning mark.

Casa Comigo²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Best| OR: 69| CD

3/1

Won this contest 12 months ago and posted good second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 26 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 2-76362

Figeac⁷⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 65

66/1

Fair at best on Flat but he arrives after over 2 year absence. Fitness clearly a big concern here so he's easily opposed.

Amanto^t,v²⁰⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Stronge| OR: 63| CD

18/1

C&D winner but he needs to shrug off below-form fourth of 11 in handicap (10/1) here when last seen out 6 months ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 63-2414

Master Grey¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: B R Millman| OR: 61| D

10/1

It's now 10 runs without a win but he recorded good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 18/1) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Beholden (11/4), Casa Comigo (3/1), Amjaady (5/1), Red Secret (5/1), Rydan (10/1), Master Grey (10/1), Estrela Star (18/1), Amanto (18/1), Figeac (66/1)

Lots with chances but at the likely odds RYDAN could be worth chancing as he has dropped to a very handy mark and showed he is ready to strike again when fourth here last time. Beholden is far less exposed and rates a big threat now he goes up in trip for his handicap bow. Master Grey appeals as a solid place prospect and the pick of the remainder.
