C&D winner. Latest win at Haydock in July. 7/1, below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks competitive on form.

40/1

Gert Lush²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R A Teal| OR: 70

18/1

Latest win at Newmarket in June. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 16/1) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes limited appeal on tapeta debut.

Form: 36-1648

12/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. 9/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 547225

(11)

Taste The Nectar^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Moubarak| OR: 69

16/1

66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 378305

(4)

Moonshine Mo⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: K Frost| OR: 69

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted good third of 11 on handicap bow at Chelmsford City (7f) 50 days ago. Still low-mileage and merits consideration on tapeta debut.

Form: 70-33

Forecasts

Sir Hamilton (5/4), Freedom And Wheat (6/1), Star Of Valour (7/1), Latent Heat (7/1), Athmad (12/1), Woodside Wonder (12/1), Moonshine Mo (12/1), Taste The Nectar (16/1), Gert Lush (18/1), Rock Icon (25/1), Zafaranah (33/1), Fieldsman (40/1), Mountain Rescue (40/1)

SIR HAMILTON backed up his Lingfield effort when a good second over C&D last time and remains on a decent mark. He can land the opener. Moonshine Mo and Freedom And Wheat rate the principal dangers.
