7/2

Last of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (8f) 35 days ago, very slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Tumbled down the weights since joining this yard, one to note in the market.

My Target³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: T Hamilton| T: M Wigham| OR: 70| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 25/1) 39 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not taken lightly.

Tio Mio^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65| CD

1/1

10/1 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Raised 3 lb for that success. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 8-55061

(4)

Elegant Love²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61

10/1

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 23 days ago, having run of race. One to consider.

Ghostly^b³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 59| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 11/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 33 days ago. Could blame ground for that performance and he may bounce back today.

Form: 467717

Forecasts

Tio Mio (1/1), Semser (7/2), Emjaytwentythree (11/2), Carey Street (15/2), Ghostly (9/1), Elegant Love (10/1), My Target (14/1), Nushafreen (40/1), Win Win Power (50/1), West Side Glory (80/1)

TIO MIO won convincingly over C&D last month in a first time hood and he may be an improved colt in headgear. He's still relatively lightly raced and should be able to comfortably overcome a 3 lb rise. Ghostly could be forgiven his disappointing run at Nottingham on soft ground and may bounce back. Semser's fall in the weights is eye-catching and market support would be significant.
