10/1

Scored over 2m at Lingfield in February. Below par over hurdles at Worcester 21 days ago so he needs to bounce back.

Form: 4356-16

Warranty²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: H Whittington| OR: 65| CD

C&D winner. Third of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (16f, firm, 11/4) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlisted.

Form: 1-20433

Selsey Sizzler⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 63| D

4/1

Gained second win this year at Chepstow in April. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, good) 53 days ago so he can make presence felt again.

Form: 03-1124

Wynford^p,t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: R Menzies| OR: 60| BF| D

2/1

Latest win at Newcastle in July and very good second off 5 lb higher in handicap at Carlisle (17f) 10 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Quirky, but weighted to go close off same mark.

Form: 8/90-612

(4)

Dereham²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: John Berry| OR: 54

14/1

Winner at Yarmouth in May but last of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (16f, firm) 20 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Can Can Girl¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: D H Brown| OR: 64| C

16/1

Course winner but unreliable individual who hung badly right in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 7 in 2m handicap at Nottingham 14 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 122584

Dreambird²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 63

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden who posted good third of 7 on handicap bow at Newbury (12f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Has more to offer now stepping up in trip. Considered.

Form: 5483

Siyahamba^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 47| C

25/1

Course winner. 16/1, good second of 9 in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 5/0629-2

Thornton Le Clay^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 45

33/1

Still a maiden, and below-par fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good) 14 days ago. Easily passed over.

Form: 3/97-375

(11)

Jan De Heem^v⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 45| C

100/1

Course winner but it's now 13 runs since last win in 2019 and ninth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12f) 9 days ago. Visor back on but easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 006-979

(14)

Crakehall Lad^b²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: A Crook| OR: 45

125/1

Poor handicapper on the level but he arrives on back of good second over hurdles at Cartmel (22f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere.

Form: 000070/

Summer Power^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

10/1

Modest maiden handicapper. Respectable third of 4 at Thirsk (12f, soft) 6 days ago. More needed now he steps up in trip.

Form: 44-5673

Forecasts

Wynford (2/1), King Viktor (7/2), Selsey Sizzler (4/1), Warranty (5/1), Dreambird (17/2), Summer Power (10/1), Soldier On Parade (10/1), Dereham (14/1), Can Can Girl (16/1), Siyahamba (25/1), Thornton Le Clay (33/1), Tamaris (66/1), Jan De Heem (100/1), Crakehall Lad (125/1)

Plenty in with a shout. WYNFORD has his quirks but is thriving since joining Rebecca Menzies and fancied to bag a third win of the summer off an attractive mark. Dreambird has few miles on the clock and her stout dam-side pedigree suggests she should step forward now upped to 2m so she is feared most. Selsey Sizzler and Warranty both need a second look too in a very open handicap.
