En Couleur²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

11/8

Modest Flat/hurdles maiden. Remains with potential over this sort of trip on handicap debut in this sphere and of real interest having shaped well here on debut.

Form: 376-

Grimsthorpe Castle^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| CD

7/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good, 40/1) 8 days ago. Not on a bad mark back at the scene of his 3 wins and a return to form could be imminent in re-fitted cheekpieces.

Form: 33-4459

(5)

Sociologist^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 60| C

9/2

First run since leaving Tony Carroll when creditable third of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be better for that run and this C&D winner could figure.

Forecasts

En Couleur (11/8), Fortultous (9/2), Temur Khan (7/1), Grimsthorpe Castle (7/1), Contingency Fee (15/2), Compass Point (14/1), Sociologist (18/1), Red Derek (20/1), Toscan Genius (40/1)

EN COULEUR could be on a good mark for his Flat handicap debut and given he shaped well on this surface on debut he's worth backing dropped in grade. Temur Khan and Grimsthorpe Castle are a couple of dangers.
