(7)

Little Boy Blue²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 82| C

16/5

Latest win at Ascot in May and respectable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Course winner too so needs considering.

Form: 323153

(2)

Gambon^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82| D

9/2

10/11, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Well in the mix despite 5 lb rise.

Form: 4-96241

(4)

Mamillius⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 78| CD

8/1

C&D winner in May but rare below-par effort when fourth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 8 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 142214

Kendergarten Kop⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: D Flood| OR: 75| CD

10/1

Already scored three times here in 2021, including over C&D, and good second of 5 in handicap here (6f, good) 7 days ago. Merits serious consideration once more.

Form: 611102

Glasvegas²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| CD

7/2

Bagged third win of the season over C&D in April but only fair fourth of 7 in handicap back here 21 days ago. Can't be ruled out.

Batchelor Boy^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 74| C

5/1

Dead-heated over 6f here in June but blinkers didn't prove as effective for a second time when only fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 10 days ago. Needs bit more now.

Form: 738515

(3)

Latent Heat²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| D

8/1

Temperamental sort who beat only one in handicap here (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 5219-66

Forecasts

Little Boy Blue (16/5), Glasvegas (7/2), Gambon (9/2), Batchelor Boy (5/1), Mamillius (8/1), Latent Heat (8/1), Kendergarten Kop (10/1)

Little to choose between the principals here so a tentative votes goes to KENDERGARTEN KOP who is enjoying an excellent season and can reigster his fourth success of 2021. Fellow C&D scorer Glasvegas is feared most, although top-weight Little Boy Blue and Maxmillius can also have a say in a very open handicap.
