Good Humor¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Collen Storey| T: J Butler| OR: 66

22/1

Below form on his first outing since leaving Stuart Williams after 7 weeks off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 20/1) 13 days ago. Mark continues to ease but others make more appeal on balance.

Mr Fustic⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Andi Brown| OR: 65| CD

5/2

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D 52 days ago, suited by way race developed to lead last ½f. Up 6 lb but should be able to make his presence felt once again.

Form: 843-201

Calonne^p⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Brisland| OR: 64| CD

7/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. Good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (9/2), keeping on well. Cheekpieces back on. Was going through a good spell when last seen 3 months ago he can pick up from where he left off.

Form: 728-142

Harry Love^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 63

5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago, sticking to task. Mark continues to ease and it would be no surprise to see him pop up soon.

Form: 789-033

Dashing Spirit⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 50/1) 32 days ago, leading until 1f out. Mark continues to slide without showing any sign of him taking advantage.

Form: 546060

Vivency¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Mackie| OR: 60

10/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 7/1) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. In good form and fancied to be in the mix once again.

Form: 2-74514

Rose Fandango^t¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 57

28/1

Finished a close seventh of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) back in January. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Todd (8,000 gns). Yet to taste success but rarely beaten far, so should be capable from this mark.

Form: 8535-57

Odd Socks Havana^p,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: R Menzies| OR: 57| CD

7/1

C&D winner here in April. 15/2, wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago, left poorly placed.

Form: 222155

(6)

Street Poet^p,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 55| CD

12/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. Good fourth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 13 days ago. Veteran who takes his racing really well so certainly not discounted.

Form: 832314

Forecasts

Mr Fustic (5/2), Calonne (7/2), Harry Love (5/1), Odd Socks Havana (7/1), Vivency (10/1), Dashing Spirit (11/1), Street Poet (12/1), Crackling (16/1), Good Humor (22/1), Rose Fandango (28/1)

A tricky closing contest to solve so at the likely prices a chance is taken on ROSE FANDANGO. Scott Dixon's new recruit is still a maiden but she's yet to be beaten by more than 5 lengths in any of her twelve races so far. This step back up in trip/change of scenery could be just what's required for her to finally get off the mark. Calonne, Mr Fustic and Street Poet look the main dangers in that order.
