Clifftop Heaven⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 68

10/3

Latest win at Wolverhampton in May and produced a career best when narrowly denied by Cogital over C&D 8 days ago, comfortably on top of the remainder. Solid claims despite quick turnaround.

Form: 9-62142

Seagulls Nest¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 68

11/2

Fair filly who improved when third at Yarmouth 12 days ago and is unexposed at this sort of trip, so not without a chance.

Form: 74-2353

Debbonair²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 59| C

50/1

Well exposed and made only late gains when never-threatening fourth at Kempton on latest Flat outing. No encouragement over hurdles at Ludlow subsequently.

Form: 235/53-4

Fandabidozi¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

13/2

Hasn't had much racing but already beginning to look exposed and was firmly put in his place when third at Nottingham 11 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Form: 761-23

(2)

Summer's Knight²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 63| BF

8/11

Well-bred, good-looking gelding who has been campaigned over inadequate trips so far, lacking the pace to land the odds on handicap debut over 9.9f at Brighton return. Can make amends now up in trip.

Form: 6855-4

Forecasts

Summer's Knight (8/11), Clifftop Heaven (10/3), Seagulls Nest (11/2), Fandabidozi (13/2), Debbonair (50/1)

SUMMER'S KNIGHT found the test inadequate despite being sent off at odds on for his handicap debut and, now up markedly in trip, he's worth another chance to show that a mark of 63 underestimates him. Clifftop Heaven arrives on the back of an improved showing, so he's likeliest to capitalise if the favourite fluffs his lines.
