Jumby³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 104| C| D

5/2

Good third in a competitive handicap on the other course here last month prior to landing a 3-runner event at Salisbury (6f). Remains on a feasible mark and another bold show is anticipated.

Form: 310031

Mystery Smiles^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 100

7/1

Fine third in the Craven on his reappearance here in April, but he hasn't come close to matching that level of form in 3 subsequent starts. Hopes pinned on first-time visor working the oracle.

Form: 33-3068

Fox Champion¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 94| BF| CD

4/1

Smart performer at his best and while his losing run continues to mount, he has slipped to an attractive mark and shaped well on several occasions this season. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 303745

(5)

Corvair^p1,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 91| D

6/1

Three-time AW winner and has acquitted himself well on turf several times this year, not least when going close over C&D in May. Still, he's not the most trustworthy and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 204343

(8)

Bravado²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94| D

10/1

Gelded in June and resumed winning ways at Ayr later that month. However, he has come up short on each of his 3 subsequent starts and he probably needs some respite from the handicapper.

Form: 201854

(7)

The Attorney²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R L Moore| T: C Hills| OR: 92| D

4/1

Hasn't done a great deal wrong this year, bagging 7f handicaps at Leicester and Lingfield prior to finding just one too good on the July course here last time. One to consider with Ryan Moore booked.

Form: 043112

(3)

Desert Gulf²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 90

18/1

Raised his game when winning two on the bounce over 6f at Yarmouth in July/August, but has come up short the last twice and not sure that this step back up in trip will be in his favour.

Form: 041139

(6)

Kimifive^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 86| D

25/1

Lurking on a potentially handy mark and has hinted that his turn may be near on a number of occasions this year. On the downside, his losing run stretches back to May 2019.

Form: 550937

Forecasts

Jumby (5/2), The Attorney (4/1), Fox Champion (4/1), Corvair (6/1), Mystery Smiles (7/1), Bravado (10/1), Desert Gulf (18/1), Kimifive (25/1)

Preference is for JUMBY, who landed a competitive 6f handicap here during the spring and his latest Salisbury success suggests that he is back at the very top of his game. The return to this trip looks a good move, too. Fox Champion will surely capitalise on the handicapper's mercy before long and he is second choice ahead of The Attorney.
