80/1

Last of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Newmarket (12f, good) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal.

(9)

Mutarabby¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: David Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 74

15/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2018. Very good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 10 days ago, clear of rest. Remains feasibly treated despite going up 4 lb and he's one to consider.

Form: 456-062

Lexington Force^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 72| C

33/1

Course winner. 15/2 and visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 087466

Where's Tom¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 71| D

22/1

33/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, soft). Off 115 days. Back down in trip and place possibilities if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 69-2260

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69

150/1

Form: 243/409

(4)

Frozen Waters^b⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

33/1

Below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (11f, good to soft, 11/1) 83 days ago, very slowly away. Claims judged on pick of his form, but others are more persuasive on balance.

Form: 22P-377

(3)

Liberty Warrior^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 77

17/2

Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and cheekpieces on 1st time. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 644824

Spring Glow¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 68| BF| D

15/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 10/3, good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Up 4 lb, but strong claims nonetheless.

Form: 136342

Buxted Too^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75

7/2

12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft) 37 days ago, slowly away. Eased in class/the weights and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 504365

(8)

Maketh Believeth^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 75| BF| D

9/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in August. Second of 3 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, evens) 23 days ago. Back down in trip and should give another good account of himself.

Form: 343212

(7)

Alpha King^p¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 75

11/1

Form: 2-245

(6)

Diamond Bay⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 70

4/1

One win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 56 days ago, keeping on well. This 5 lb higher mark could be enough to anchor him.

Form: 73P-861

Lion Face^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 67| D

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Leicester in May. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 24 days ago. Each-way chance.

Form: 63193

Forecasts

Buxted Too (7/2), Diamond Bay (4/1), Lion Face (11/2), Mutarabby (15/2), Spring Glow (15/2), Liberty Warrior (17/2), Maketh Believeth (9/1), Alpha King (11/1), Where's Tom (22/1), Lexington Force (33/1), Frozen Waters (33/1), Cuban Hope (80/1), Proton (150/1)

This represents a significant drop in class for BUXTED TOO and he is taken to strike with William Buick doing the steering. Spring Glow is a much-respected main danger following his C&D near miss last month, while Lion Face and Mutarabby both enter calculations, too, on the back of solid efforts in defeat at this venue.
