The Rocket Park⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: John Berry| OR: 71

5/1

Fair bumper winner. Lightly raced winner on Flat, 13/2, good third of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good) 43 days ago, finishing strongly. Not ruled out but no easy task facing a host of 3-y-os.

Form: 64-613

Red For All¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72

2/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 18/1) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Worth a crack at this longer trip given how he saw his race out then.

Form: 203971

(4)

The Cincinnati Kid¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

15/8

4/1, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 11 to Red For All in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Should remain competitive.

Form: 637523

(2)

Flashing Approach^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 61

8/1

16/1, last of 14 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, heavy) 16 days ago, seeming unsuited by the underfoot conditions. Return to AW/application of a visor needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 54-8470

(3)

Alchimista⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 60

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (10f, soft, 10/1) 68 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 7-59

THE CINCINNATI KID was perhaps caught out by overdoing things under a change of tactics when 2¼ lengths third behind re-opposing Red For All at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. A return to more patient tactics may suit ideally with that in mind and he shades the vote. Aforementioned Red For All and The Rocket Park head up the dangers in that order.
