13/8

Scored at Carlisle in June. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 4/7) 13 days ago. Remains in form but this may require a bit more now taking on the 3-y-os.

Form: 605212

Dreamseller^p²¹

9/1

Won 3 times in 2020. 11/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 21 days ago, never a factor. Looking one to tread carefully with after the last 2 starts.

Form: 157-469

Willa^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 65

Gainsbourg³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 70

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 50/1) 31 days ago. Suspect he'll do better now handicapping and interesting for local yard hitting the headlines.

Form: 938

Baileys Warrior^h⁴²

16/1

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 17 days ago. That's looking decent form and he's respected down another 2 lb.

Forecasts

Arranmore (13/8), Gainsbourg (3/1), Rum Runner (8/1), Estad (17/2), Dreamseller (9/1), Club Wexford (14/1), Baileys Warrior (16/1), Willa (16/1), Bear Me In Mind (50/1), Monticello (150/1)

GAINSBOURG could be set for a bigger performance now handicapping, with bits of his form reading well, and he gets the vote. Fellow 3-y-o Estad may not have shown all he's capable of just yet and is interesting. Veteran Club Wexford is lurking on a good mark.
