Hy Eales²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: J L Spearing| OR: 54

33/1

Winner at Lingfield in June. Ninth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Beau Geste³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in July. 3/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago. Now 1 lb lower and this step back up in trip looks a good move.

Form: 612663

Princess T^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 53| BF

12/1

Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Good second in Jersey on latest start in this sphere and she needs considering.

Form: 4/69-212

Donya^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54

25/1

18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Mohamed Moubarak when last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip for this tapeta debut.

Lhebayeb²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 54

6/1

5/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Still, now 0-10 and likely to find one or two too good once again.

The Mehmas Touch¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jacob Clark⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 54

50/1

Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 50/1) 18 days ago. Hard to envisage her making the breakthrough here.

Form: 60-4308

(5)

Oot Ma Way^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 53| CD

5/1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (8.6f, 6/1) 28 days ago, well positioned. More needed up 4 lb, but she shouldn't be far away.

Form: 532411

Mountrath^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: A West| OR: 52

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 15 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft, 33/1) 13 days ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 4020

Storm Dreamer^p²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 52

50/1

25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 535800

Scarborough Castle³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: D M Simcock| OR: 49| CD

11/10

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 30 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's one to consider.

Form: 359-361

(13)

Jeddeyd⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 47

12/1

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Remains a maiden following 14 attempts and looks vulnerable once more.

Forecasts

Scarborough Castle (11/10), Oot Ma Way (5/1), Lhebayeb (6/1), Beau Geste (7/1), Day Trader (8/1), Jeddeyd (12/1), Princess T (12/1), My Lady Claire (16/1), Donya (25/1), Hy Eales (33/1), Storm Dreamer (50/1), The Mehmas Touch (50/1), Mountrath (80/1)

DAY TRADER remains a maiden following 15 attempts, but he is nevertheless appealing on his first start since rejoining Richard Hannon. Indeed, his latest effort over a mile at Lingfield was encouraging and both this step back up in trip and 2 lb lower mark offer cause for optimism. Princess T is next on the list ahead of Beau Geste and Scarborough Castle, who scored over C&D last month.
