Form: 332

Villeurbanne^t1⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: L Carter| OR: 69

18/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 49 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. First run for yard after leaving James Tate. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth a market check.

Form: 43-2664

17/2

Form: 343402

Sharla²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: R A Teal| OR: 68| C

22/1

Course winner. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 26 days ago. Others make more appeal.

17/2

C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win here in July. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 9 days ago, nearest finish. One to consider.

Form: 50-1314

Wurlitzer^p1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: A King| OR: 66

6/1

Forecasts

Zhang Fei (10/3), Graystone (4/1), Goodwood Glen (11/2), Wurlitzer (6/1), Waleyfa (15/2), Golden Claim (17/2), Sunset (17/2), Villeurbanne (18/1), Sharla (22/1)

GOLDEN CLAIM has been going the right way and wasn't ideally positioned when a staying-on fourth over C&D last time. Provided they go a good pace, he should arrive with a strong late run, so he's marginally preferred to Sunset and Zhang Fei in what strikes as a tightly-knit affair.
