Agent Gibbs^p⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 59

16/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2016. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good, 22/1) 45 days ago, doing too much too soon. Chance on old form.

Form: 346-240

(10)

Competition^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: George Rooke| T: M Appleby| OR: 59| C

4/1

Course winner. Winner here in July. 5/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 8 days ago, well positioned. Should make his presence felt once more.

Form: 216382

Lyrica's Lion⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 58

10/1

Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 10/3) 56 days ago. Down to a career-low mark, but not sure that this step up in trip will be in his favour.

Form: 087-546

(14)

Hammy End^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W R Muir| OR: 58

7/2

Unreliable sort. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Solid claims back on turf.

Form: 223243

(2)

Tattenhams⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Joseph Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 53

9/2

13/8, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft) 8 days ago, always holding on. Should be bang there under a penalty if able to reproduce that form back on faster ground.

Form: 462151

(8)

Lady Elysia^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 57| C

15/2

Two wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (9/2) at this course (11.6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. This is more demanding.

Form: 0-51901

(5)

Fulbeck Girl^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carver| T: Ian Williams| OR: 58

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (14f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others have achieved more.

Form: 08839

(13)

Aria Rose^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 50

50/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Harry Whittington when 11¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Lady Elysia in handicap at this course (11.6f, good to firm, 11/1) 15 days ago.

Form: 6327-06

(11)

Filament Of Gold^b²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 49| CD

80/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 5190-09

(9)

Cinnabar³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 56

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy, 12/1) 31 days ago. Needs to find some improvement.

Form: 04-946

(7)

Yasir²³⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 48| D

100/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2018. 12/1, below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 7 months and probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 4425-07

(4)

Sharney²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 52| BF

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Chelmsford City (10f) when last seen in March. May well benefit from this stiffer test now switched to turf.

Form: 0-404

Forecasts

Hammy End (7/2), Competition (4/1), Tattenhams (9/2), Cinnabar (7/1), Lady Elysia (15/2), Sharney (9/1), Lyrica's Lion (10/1), Agent Gibbs (16/1), Sinndarella (20/1), Stony Look (20/1), Fulbeck Girl (22/1), Aria Rose (50/1), Filament Of Gold (80/1), Yasir (100/1)

There's no shortage of stamina in SHARNEY's pedigree and she is of strong interest now taking a significant step up in trip. Archie Watson's charge gets the nod ahead of the in-form Tattenhams, who has won 2 of her last 3 starts. Competition was successful here in July and is likely to be on the premises, while Hammy End has been knocking on the door this year and should also have a part to play.
