2/1

Absolutely thriving, again strong at the finish when recording third win since May in a 5.2f handicap at Newbury 6 weeks ago. 5 lb rise demands more but she looks ahead of the game at present.

Zulu Zander¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans| OR: 62| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, proved a bit of a let-down when seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/2) 14 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded and he's not dismissed down 3 lb.

12/1

Visored/tongue tied for 1st time, best effort this season when second of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, firm) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Player if building on that.

Form: 80-6652

12/1

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. Good second of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive.

4/1

Latest win at Ffos Las in July. 5/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good to firm) 4 days ago, not unduly punished. Can give another good account.

Moonshiner⁶

11/2

Winner at Yarmouth in July. 5/2, ran at least as well in defeat when third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 6 days ago. Should remain competitive.

17/2

Course winner. Latest win here in June. 7/2, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Shani¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Emma Taff⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, not in same form when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Tricky to make a case for.

12/1

4/1, looked a shade more tractable when second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago, running on. Can be in the mix if building on that effort.

Forecasts

Cherish (2/1), Glamorous Force (4/1), Moonshiner (11/2), Atyaaf (17/2), Zulu Zander (9/1), Coronation Cottage (10/1), Pink Flamingo (12/1), Thegreyvtrain (12/1), Porfin (12/1), Shani (20/1)

CHERISH is in the form of her life at present, and having had a 6-week break after a busy mid-summer spell, she's taken to notch a fifth win from her last six starts and enhance her fine course record. Zulu Zander has been a shade underwhelming since scoring at Brighton back in April but he's feared most reunited with Darragh Keenan, ahead of Moonshiner and Coronation Cottage.
