Little Boy Blue^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 85| D

10/1

As good as ever and quite consistent last term, winning from 3 lb lower at Brighton. Offered plenty to work on back from 11 months off when fourth over C&D a fortnight ago.

Form: 24354-4

(8)

Lihou³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 83| D

9/2

Enhanced good record at Chester when accounting for 11 rivals over 6f last month. 5 lb rise tolerable and he has to command respect on the back of that career-best effort.

Form: 9-63421

(6)

Al Dawodiya^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 84| D

11/2

Ridden more positively and better than ever when doubling career tally at Lingfield 11 days ago. Up 3 lb but she remains unexposed as a sprinter.

Form: 531261

Chairmanic²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: B J Meehan| OR: 83| D

17/2

Confirmed previous promise to get off the mark in a 6f Haydock contest on handicap debut in July, showing plenty of speed. Excuses at York next time but latest Newmarket defeat was disappointing.

Form: 7-23166

(3)

Minhaaj¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M J Attwater| OR: 82

11/2

Just fair form for William Haggas but caused a bit of an upset with an improved effort to score at Sandown on debut for this stable last month. Mid-field at Ascot since.

Form: 831-519

(5)

Pop Dancer⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| BF

10/1

Dual 5f winner for Richard Fahey last season and looked better than ever when landing 6-runner handicap at Sandown in July. Lost a shoe when only fifth last time and now back at 6f.

Form: 50-7515

(2)

The Lamplighter^p,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: George Baker| OR: 74| CD

9/4

Well backed and off the mark for 2020 at Kempton 18 days ago. Up just 1 lb for that so follow-up claims appear to be bright.

Form: 620231

(9)

Gleeds Girl²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: M R Channon| OR: 66| D

20/1

Winner on final start at Bath last year but failed to land a blow this summer, including on first run back from a wind op over C&D a month ago.

Form: 331-604

Forecasts

The Lamplighter (9/4), Lihou (9/2), Al Dawodiya (11/2), Minhaaj (11/2), Spanish Angel (8/1), Chairmanic (17/2), Little Boy Blue (10/1), Pop Dancer (10/1), Gleeds Girl (20/1)

THE LAMPLIGHTER opened his account for the season at Kempton 18 days ago, and this C&D winner must hold sound follow-up claims from just 1 lb higher. Little Boy Blue showed up well on reappearance here a fortnight ago and is entitled to build on that, while Lihou arrives on the back of a career-best victory.
