11/2

1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Salisbury in August. Made no impression when sixth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Modmin²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 80| D

5/2

Lightly-raced gelding who was a promising second on his Chepstow reappearance and had little difficulty landing short odds at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) since. Can make presence felt on handicap bow.

Form: 4-21

(4)

Sword Beach²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| D

9/1

Opened account in York novice event (7.8f) on final start last term and matched rather than built on that in handful of starts this term. Assessor continues relinquishing his grip.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ran well when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good, 6/1). Off 110 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Modmin (5/2), Turn On The Charm (10/3), Ajyaall (7/2), Zezenia (4/1), Itkaann (11/2), Sword Beach (9/1), Silver Samurai (11/1), Skontonovski (16/1), Deb's Delight (50/1)

TURN ON THE CHARM has progressed in his 3 starts this year, producing a sharp turn of foot to get up late at Kempton last month. With the promise of better to come from James Fanshawe's charge, he's taken to go in again upped in grade. Modmin made the most of a good opportunity at Goodwood last time and he can chase the selection home, ahead of another likely improver in Ajyaall.
