Lampang^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 101

18/1

Smart handicapper on his day as he proved when defying top weight at Hamilton (6f) in June. Exploits have been mixed since though, and he needs to start better than he has done of late.

Form: 102008

Gale Force Maya^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 92| CD

15/2

Likeable mare who regained winning thread here in April and arrives here on the back of solid placed efforts, latterly when third of 20 in handicap at Ripon (6f) last month. Each-way claims again.

Form: 930333

Asjad¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Varian| OR: 96| BF| C

3/1

Has looked promising when winning Salisbury maiden and C&D novice (both 6f) this summer. No backward step when runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las a fortnight ago and he should go well again.

Form: 112

Summer Sands¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 90

66/1

Has disappointed since scoring a couple of times in 2019, latest when eleventh of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) a fortnight ago after rejoining Richard Fahey. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 879-600

(8)

Raatea^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 89

7/1

Has yet to run a bad race on all-weather and confirmed previous promise to get off the mark for the season in a first-time hood at Newmarket 4 weeks ago. Enters calculations after 5 lb rise.

Form: 3-47301

Chairmanoftheboard¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 88

6/1

Now below his last winning mark, and having shaped very well when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago (finishing well after meeting some trouble over 1f out), he's threatening to come good soon. Player.

Form: 0-57355

(7)

Desert Doctor¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 87

20/1

In good form at Meydan around the turn of the year and resumed winning ways to win for the first time on turf by head from Asjad at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. Nudged up 2 lb but this is much hotter.

Form: 478501

Able Kane¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 86| BF

9/2

Posted a career best when winning 6f handicap at Leicester in May, and good placed efforts the last 3 starts, second at Goodwood last time. Liable to be thereabouts once more from same mark.

Form: 216232

Bernardo O'Reilly⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 86| C| D

12/1

Returned to form dropped 2 lb albeit having little chance with the unexposed winner when runner-up at Ascot last week. Upped in class and likely to find a few too good on this occasion.

Form: 0-63802

Kimifive¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 85| D

12/1

Several solid efforts in defeat this year, not least when third in first-time cheekpieces at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. One to consider having been dropped 3 lb since.

Form: 355093

Mitrosonfire⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 88

6/1

Has developed into a useful sprinter this term, taking it up another notch with 6f wins at Ascot and Newmarket last month. Similar form at Haydock last time so dangerous to rule out in this mood.

Form: 175112

Giorgio Vasari^v1⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S H James| T: D Shaw| OR: 87| D

125/1

Fairly useful last year for Aidan O'Brien but never involved when eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) in July. Hopes very much pinned on new headgear sparking a revival.

Form: 887-988

Forecasts

Asjad (3/1), Able Kane (9/2), Chairmanoftheboard (6/1), Mitrosonfire (6/1), Raatea (7/1), Gale Force Maya (15/2), Bernardo O'Reilly (12/1), Kimifive (12/1), Zip (12/1), Lampang (18/1), Desert Doctor (20/1), Summer Sands (66/1), Giorgio Vasari (125/1)

A host in with chances but it could pay to side with CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD. Mick Channon's charge shaped very well when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago (finishing well under hands-and-heels riding after meeting trouble) so he's put forward as the answer having dropped below his last winning mark. Kimifive has been given a chance by the handicapper so he's feared most, ahead of the unexposed Asjad.
