9/2

Added another runner-up effort to his tally in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 11/8) 31 days ago, running on. Same mark here and this is slight drop in class but he isn't one for maximum faith.

Form: 48-2422

Variyann¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Levey| T: M Meade| OR: 95| D

22/1

28/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 19 days ago. Presumably had an issue or two given fleeting appearances but he's fancied to step up on that.

Form: 1/3122-0

33/1

Course winner. 20/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 53 days ago, not clear run. Now back on last winning mark.

7/2

Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap (4/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good) 19 days ago, hanging left. Bounce back called for.

Form: 631-529

Top Secret^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 87| BF

16/1

Excellent return to action when runner-up at Newbury last month. Seemingly failed to handle the track when tenth of 15 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good, 9/2) 19 days ago.

Form: 2210-20

Larado^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 81

22/1

Stepped up markedly on previous 2 efforts this season when fifth of 15 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 19 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Interesting having been eased 1 lb.

Form: 143-905

Morghom⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 90| BF| D

5/2

Winning debut at Newbury in April. 5/6, third of 14 in novice event at Newbury (7f, good) 40 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a tough-enough mark on the face of it but he's clearly unexposed.

Form: 13

Windseeker¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| C

9/2

Back-to-back novice winner 7 months apart. 8/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago, having run of race. Likely to remain competitive.

Form: 21-132

(8)

Sanitiser¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 87| D

20/1

22/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good to firm) 11 days ago, typically keen. Entitled to build on that reappearance.

Form: 11415-7

(4)

Rousay³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

12/1

AW novice winner in October. Good third of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft, 20/1) 33 days ago and there might be more to come.

Form: 618-23

Forecasts

Morghom (5/2), Carolus Magnus (7/2), Dubai Mirage (9/2), Windseeker (9/2), Rousay (12/1), Farasi Lane (12/1), Top Secret (16/1), Sanitiser (20/1), Larado (22/1), Variyann (22/1), You're Hired (33/1)

Competitive stuff with LARADO just about the most persuasive option having fared best of the pacesetters in a big-field handicap at Epsom 19 days ago. 3-y-os Rousay and Windseeker are just a couple of potential threats.
