33/1

Quirky sort. 7/1, fourth of 9 in seller at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 0-66674

Parikarma²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

12/1

6/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Makes turf debut. Obvious claims if she takes to the surface.

Form: 8/641

First Charge⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65| D

66/1

16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, good to soft) 80 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 51-8060

(11)

Elegant Love¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| D

5/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction and still below last winning mark, so can't be ruled out.

Form: 81-8953

Chifa⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 60

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Needs to up his game further to defy a stiff mark.

Form: 54894

(8)

Light Of Thunder¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 64

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Still unexposed and warrants consideration.

Form: 57663

(13)

My Boy Charles¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 63| D

10/1

Winner at Bath in August. Good second of 5 in handicap (9/2) at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, having run of race. Likely to be thereabouts once more.

40/1

7/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mark Johnston. Others are more persuasive.

33/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others make more appeal.

SPIRIT LEVEL is an upwardly-mobile 3-y-o who was beaten only by another improving sort when runner-up at this course last time and, based on the dam's side of his pedigree, he should be suited by the extra distance, so he's narrowly preferred to My Boy Charles, with turf debutant Sunshine Fun another to consider having opened her account at Wolverhampton last time.
