Luna Magic³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 70| CD

10/1

Course winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 20/1) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 138888

Maysong^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 69| BF

9/4

Twenty-runs since last win in 2019. Good head second of 15 to Engrave in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 3/1) 11 days ago. Simon Walker again in the hot-seat and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 253922

Pink Jazz^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Matthew Ennis⁽³⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 69| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago, but more will certainly be needed if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: 1-81995

(12)

Engrave^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 67

11/2

Three wins from 14 runs this year. 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago by head from Maysong, digging deep. Enters calculations.

Form: 595221

Dark Esteem^h⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 68| CD

20/1

Course winner in July. 11/2, only eleventh of 12 in handicap here (8.6f) 83 days ago and he's hard to recommend on the back of that effort.

Form: 506140

(4)

Ruby Red Empress^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Henry Main⁽⁵⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 65

Form: 259110

(5)

Psyche^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 64

13/2

Bit below form 7¼ lengths sixth of 15 to Engrave in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 4/1) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and cheekpieces back on. Will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 889626

(3)

Parikarma^b⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 62

Form: 420988

(7)

The Game Is On^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Guy Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 58| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Good ½-length third of 15 to Engrave in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 40/1) 11 days ago. Expected to be bang there once more.

Form: 050703

(9)

Lofty^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Violet Barton⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 53

14/1

Ungenuine type. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, running on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 504502

(6)

Dream Chaser¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 53

40/1

12¾ lengths ninth of 15 to Engrave in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago, and based on that he clearly has work to do. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 656009

(8)

Jeddeyd⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Jodie Wingrove⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 50

22/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 11/2, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago and may again find at least one or two too strong.

Form: 626205

Forecasts

Maysong (9/4), The Game Is On (5/1), Engrave (11/2), Psyche (13/2), Pink Jazz (10/1), Luna Magic (10/1), Lofty (14/1), Dark Esteem (20/1), Jeddeyd (22/1), Parikarma (25/1), Ruby Red Empress (28/1), Dream Chaser (40/1)

THE GAME IS ON appears to be back on the right track judged on his latest front-running third at Chelmsford where he finished hot on the heels of Engrave and Maysong. He meets those rivals on slightly better terms here and will have every chance if ridden with a little more restraint this time. Maysong may also reverse those placings with Engrave and emerge as the main danger.
