Contingency Fee^v⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 62| D

10/3

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 9/2) 8 days ago, digging deep. Carries penalty. Thriving and makes plenty of appeal bidding for a 4-timer.

Form: 342111

Lady Elysia²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62| CD

7/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Good second of 5 in handicap (9/2) at this course (13f, good to firm) 28 days ago, better placed than most. Likely to be thereabouts once again.

Form: 4-34212

Suns Up Guns Up^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 60| BF

5/2

7/2, below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (11f, good to soft) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to a quicker surface will help, so he's well worth considering.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Spearing| OR: 46

5/1

One win from 34 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Obviously hard to win with.

Forecasts

Lady Elysia (7/4), Suns Up Guns Up (5/2), Contingency Fee (10/3), It's How We Roll (5/1), Mi Laddo (12/1), Harbour Force (28/1)

SUNS UP GUNS UP is on a handy mark and was shaping up well prior to a lesser effort on ground that was softer than ideal at Newbury last time, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of Lady Elysia and Contingency Fee, who both arrive in top form.
