(5)

Smokey¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 70| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 11 days ago, but edging back down the weights and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 147455

(4)

Street Life^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 69| CD

5/2

Three wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Now 9 lb higher, but another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 365111

(2)

Dapper Man^b¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| D

12/1

Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on and it would be no surprise to see this 7-y-o involved in the finish.

Form: 062668

(10)

Prince of Rome^e/s²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Jones| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 69| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 7/1) 23 days ago. One to consider in this lower-grade handicap back on the AW.

Form: 067454

(8)

Denzil's Laughing^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Good third of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Will be a danger to all if performing to a similar level.

Form: 762663

(3)

Strong Power¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 68| D

7/1

10/1, first run since leaving George Scott when sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 16 days ago. Reverting to the minimum trip should help and he's lurking on an attractive mark.

Form: 345346

(1)

Global Vision¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 66

13/2

Quirky sort. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at this course (6.1f), not clear run. Off 118 days and others make greater appeal.

Form: 633545

(6)

Mick's Spirit^h⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 65

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, creditable third of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) 40 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap on this tapeta debut.

Form: 4-9623

(7)

Clashaniska³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: A West| OR: 61

14/1

33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Others are more persuasive on balance.

Form: 122278

(9)

Jumira Bridge³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| CD

66/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Last of 6 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 35 days ago and he has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 790866

(11)

Captain Corcoran⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: E J Alston| OR: 57| D

50/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 49 days ago, hampered. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 42-4867

Forecasts

Street Life (5/2), Denzil's Laughing (9/2), Smokey (6/1), Global Vision (13/2), Strong Power (7/1), Prince of Rome (11/1), Dapper Man (12/1), Mick's Spirit (14/1), Clashaniska (14/1), Captain Corcoran (50/1), Jumira Bridge (66/1)

The vote goes to DENZIL'S LAUGHING, who returned to form when third in a more competitive handicap than this at Ayr recently and should go close here if in a similar mood. Street Life is an obvious threat in his bid to complete the four-timer, for all that he's now 9 lb than for his C&D success a fortnight ago. Cases can also be made for Dapper Man, Prince of Rome and Smokey.
