City Runner^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: B J Meehan| OR: 86| D

13/2

Well prepared to make a winning reappearance at Southwell in January. Solid brace of runner-up efforts after and possible to excuse run in the Silver Bowl at Haydock last time.

Form: 35-1228

Galiac¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 86| BF| D

10/3

Opened his account in Newcastle nursery last autumn and took his form up another notch when landing a warm Goodwood handicap on reappearance. Keen early when fourth at Newbury and may yet to better back on quicker ground.

Form: 2551-14

Odisseo⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 86| D

14/1

Progressive in handicaps on AW, making it 4 wins in 6 starts on artificial surfaces when shading a close finish at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Below form back on turf at Sandown last time, though.

Form: 121-315

(8)

Muhtashim³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 85

50/1

Made it 2-3 this year with gutsy success in 1m novice event at Redcar in April but disappointed on handicap debut at Doncaster last time.

Form: 3117

Robjon¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 84

22/1

Shaped quite well when fourth at Lingfield (6f) at Lingfield on penultimate start but failed to build on it at Goodwood subsequently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 3-65045

(3)

Open Mind^v1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 83| BF

11/2

Successful at Chelmsford City in April and has acquitted himself well when second in two AW handicaps since. Solid claims if he's equally effective back on turf.

Form: 735-122

Out From Under⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 82| BF| D

15/8

Readily opened his account on the Rowley course on reappearance in April and, while a slightly underwhelming third at Haydock on handicap bow, he remains with potential and now has a promising claimer on board.

Form: 5D2-13

(9)

Papa Cocktail^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Tom Clover| OR: 79| D

14/1

Yet to really kick on from a positive start but it's still early days and he wasn't disgraced at Haydock last time. Tongue strap is applied, now.

Form: 1894-37

(6)

The Green Man²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Parr| OR: 77| BF

20/1

Fair form on each of his 3 starts to date, runner-up in a maiden at Wolverhampton 26 days ago. Handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark, though, so improvement required.

Form: 432

Dashing Rat⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: W Stone| OR: 75

28/1

Fair performer who ran creditably when third of 10 making belated handicap debut on the Rowley course on latest outing 48 days ago. Hard to know if he'll back it up, though.

Form: 2054-43

Forecasts

Out From Under (15/8), Galiac (10/3), Open Mind (11/2), City Runner (13/2), Cephalus (12/1), Papa Cocktail (14/1), Odisseo (14/1), The Green Man (20/1), Robjon (22/1), Dashing Rat (28/1), Muhtashim (50/1)

OUT FROM UNDER's finishing effort was a touch disappointing at Haydock last time but he'd previously looked a useful colt in the making, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways with Harry Davies taking 5 lb off. Galiac should make his presence felt if he settles and Open Mind can feature if he can translate his recent AW form back to turf.
