Made it 2-5 this year with success at Newcastle in July. Never travelling well when below-par fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) only run since. Needs to bounce back now.

12/1

4-time C&D winner but she came in last of 12 in handicap here 36 days ago. Sort to bounce back so not dismissed.

40/1

Went backwards from reappearance when only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 6920-70

Mister Snowdon^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 93| D

10/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year but below-form eighth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Makes polytrack debut now with cheekpieces on but needs more.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: S Hodgson| OR: 90| C

40/1

Course winner who posted respectable sixth of 10 in handicap here (6f) 13 days ago. Tongue strap on now so he is worth considering.

Riot³⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| CD

5/1

Runner-up first three start before landing odds in 9-runner novice over C&D when last seen on track 13 months ago. Into handicaps now and big player for top yard despite absence.

Form: 2221-

Almufti^t,v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: H Palmer| OR: 88| BF| CD

15/2

Visored for 1st time, creditable eighth of 17 in handicap (11/2) at Newbury (7f, good) 18 days ago. C&D winner so can make his presence felt.

Form: 448648

Great Ambassador⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 88| D

11/1

Promising seventh in Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot on return but failed to build on that when beating only one back there 74 days ago (bled/lame). Still low mileage so not written off.

Form: 2301-77

(2)

Tiger Crusade⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 87| BF| D

11/4

Resumed with 7f win at Doncaster before good third of 12 in handicap (6/4) at Ascot (7f) 73 days ago. Makes polytrack debut but expected to be bang there.

Form: 31-13

Revolutionise^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 84| CD

50/1

C&D winner in the winter but has shown little since the restart, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago. Has serious questions to answer now.

Form: 3-11007

Forecasts

Tiger Crusade (11/4), Light And Dark (7/2), Riot (5/1), Almufti (15/2), Mister Snowdon (10/1), Great Ambassador (11/1), Delilah Park (12/1), Aljari (14/1), Cardsharp (28/1), Brains (33/1), Total Commitment (40/1), Misty Grey (40/1), Revolutionise (50/1), Yuften (66/1)

Lots with chances here but John Gosden's lightly-raced C&D winner RIOT has the potential for further improvement on his handicap bow so is taken to defy his lengthy absence. Tiger Crusade is another low-mileage 3-y-o who is sure to make his presence felt along with Ralph Beckett's Great Ambassador.
