Amanto^p,t³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 60| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 8¾ lengths ninth of 13 to Uncle Bernie in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 39 days ago, shuffled back home turn and making no impression. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 241499

Social City¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

9/1

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back returned to this longer trip.

Form: 304806

Lovely Lou Lou^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 58

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip. One to note when market vibes are particularly positive.

Form: 38-8080

(9)

Ballydoyle^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 13/2, third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on and he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark.

Form: 264-653

(11)

Lyrica's Lion¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss S West| OR: 56

4/1

Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 14/1) 11 days ago, better placed than most. Still, he can go well again with a repeat.

Form: 7-54602

River Dart³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| D

50/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. 25/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 800-717

(5)

Keane's Kingdom^b1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 61

10/3

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 35 days ago, still looking green. In good hands and better expected now handicapping in blinkers/upped in trip.

Form: 45

(1)

Celtic Classic^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: P & O Cole| OR: 52

7/1

(7)

Uncle Bernie^p³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 52| CD

18/1

Unreliable sort who put it all together to win 13-runner handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 39 days ago, getting on top inside final 1f. No sure thing to be in the same form here.

Form: 780781

(2)

Affair⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 52| BF

14/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. 7/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 76 days ago. No surprise to see her in the mix once more.

Form: 4-16223

(8)

Kybosh^p⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 49

33/1

Unreliable individual. Last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 25/1) 47 days ago, clearly not 100% on the day. Record has been distinctly mixed however since his victory at Kempton in February.

Form: 300400

(6)

American Craftsman^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 48| D

40/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 22/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 5560/88

(10)

Aleatoric^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: Martin Smith| OR: 46

14/1

13/2, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Application of first-time blinkers may help now.

Form: 569384

Forecasts

Keane's Kingdom (10/3), Lyrica's Lion (4/1), Ballydoyle (9/2), Celtic Classic (7/1), Social City (9/1), Aleatoric (14/1), Affair (14/1), Uncle Bernie (18/1), Lovely Lou Lou (20/1), Amanto (25/1), Kybosh (33/1), American Craftsman (40/1), River Dart (50/1)

KEANE'S KINGDOM has looked a work-in-progress in a pair of outings in AW maiden/novice events 7 months apart. However, he's in good hands and, now handicapping with blinkers reached for, better can be expected with his stamina drawn out. Ballydoyle caught the eye last time, and along with Affair, heads up the dangers.
