Quoteline Direct^h⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 54

8/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 4 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 0-63375

Celtic Classic^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 53| D

11/2

15/2, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (12f, heavy) 9 days ago. Claims off this mark if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 674430

Cafe Sydney²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| D

4/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. 1 lb lower now and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 276935

Light Of Air^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52| D

22/1

14/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago. That effort represented a step back in the right direction and she will be a threat if able to build on it.

Form: 5-70604

(5)

Star Of Athena^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Stronge| OR: 51| C

22/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (16.6f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking improvement.

Form: 753790

22/1

On The Right Track²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

7/2

Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (11/2) at this course (14f) 21 days ago. Something to find on form.

(11)

Fulbeck Girl^h,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54

13/2

14/1 and hooded for 1st time, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, running on. Now 2 lb lower and can make her presence felt.

Form: 883995

Ros's Dream²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: A Stronge| OR: 53

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. More needed if she's to go one better this time.

Form: 0752

(7)

Corofin²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 52

12/1

12/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago, not having run of race. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 985784

False Id^b⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 46| C

20/1

Course winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. 50/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Up in trip.

Form: 672805

Voice Of Dubawi³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 49

33/1

Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 37 days ago. Up in trip and each-way shout if reproducing form of her Lingfield near miss in August.

Form: 60-8D70

Forecasts

On The Right Track (7/2), Cafe Sydney (4/1), Celtic Classic (11/2), Fulbeck Girl (13/2), Quoteline Direct (8/1), Ros's Dream (10/1), Corofin (12/1), False Id (20/1), American Craftsman (22/1), Light Of Air (22/1), Star Of Athena (22/1), Voice Of Dubawi (33/1)

Preference is for CAFE SYDNEY, who has shaped as though her turn may be near the last twice and is more than capable of capitalising on this reduced mark granted a strong pace to aim at. Fulbeck Girl wasn't seen to best effect over this C&D a fortnight ago and she looks dangerous with Ben Curtis taking over. Celtic Classic and Light of Air are others to consider.
