Captain's Bar^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 72| D

17/2

Capitalised on the drop in grade when winning 6-runner seller at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/4) 13 days ago, value for extra having covered more ground than most. Merits consideration back in handicap company.

Form: 9-58701

Masterclass⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 70

5/1

Promising sort. 15/2, improved after 11 months off (gelded) when second of 5 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 6 weeks ago. Remains capable of better heading into handicaps and looks one to keep onside.

Form: 74-2

Top Exhibit^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 69| D

13/2

11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, never involved when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M D I Usher| OR: 66| D

16/1

3 wins from 8 runs this year. 10/1, ran creditably on the back of a 7-lb rise in the weights when third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 415813

Beauen Arrows²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 66

5/1

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 71 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time hood/cheekpieces working the oracle.

Form: 47-527

(12)

Adaay Atatime⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 64

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Having been gelded, failed to make much of an impact sent handicapping after 6 months off when last of 6 at Chepstow (6.1f, good, well-backed 9/2) 62 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 8587-6

(11)

Accelerando³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 62

16/1

14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good) 30 days ago. Not proving the easiest to catch right but fancied to make her presence felt back on the all-weather.

Form: 734364

Fantasy Navigator⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 62

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1 and hooded for 1st time, fared better than on return when seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 43 days ago. More needed.

Form: 864-97

Bankrupt³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 59

20/1

28/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good) 30 days ago. Worth a market check from his tumbling mark.

Form: 48-6659

MASTERCLASS found some improvement returning from 11 months off (gelded in interim) when runner-up in a Yarmouth maiden 6 weeks ago and, with further progress on the cards now heading into handicaps, David Simcock's charge is afforded the vote. Captain's Bar heads the dangers having resumed winning ways dropped into selling company just under a fortnight ago, ahead of Accelerando, who should fare better back on the all-weather.
