Celtic Art⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 90

11/1

Blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm, 18/1) 40 days ago. Subsequently gelded and will be a danger to all if that procedure helps spark a return to form.

Form: 2/630-95

Ridgeway^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 85| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Last of 5 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 16/5) 30 days ago, doing too much too soon. Eased 2 lb and big chance if able to bounce back here.

Form: 174-015

Western Alliance^h²⁷

5/4

Winner at Nottingham in May. 7/1, second of 9 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 27 days ago. That form has been franked since and he's greatly respected now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 3-12

Anmaat²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 86| BF

7/4

Winner at Lingfield in May. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 15/8) 27 days ago. Up 3 lb and it could be that a return to 1m or drop to 9f would be ideal.

Form: 2-132

Arctic Victory^h³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 77| D

80/1

Quirky sort. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey and now has a bit to prove.

Form: 1250-66

Leroy Leroy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 74| D

8/1

13/2, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Couldn't entirely rule out, but he is pretty exposed and will probably find one or two too good.

WESTERN ALLIANCE lost no caste in defeat when beaten ¾-length by Poet of Life upped to this trip in a Newbury novice, especially considering that he was attempting to concede 7 lb to the winner, who has won again since and looks potentially useful. He should have more to offer now handicapping. With Anmaat's stamina in doubt, Celtic Art and Ridgeway may emerge as the main dangers.
