Fairly useful Flat winner. Fair form over hurdles, running his best race when second in 2m Ffos Las handicap 45 days ago. Player off the same mark.

Four wins this summer (including C&D) and another fine effort when second at Stratford last Sunday. Another bold show likely.

Out of sorts for David Pipe when last seen in the autumn and watching brief the percentage call on his return for a new yard unless the betting vibes are strong.

Second in 2m Worcester handicap in May 2019 (only run for Tom Lacey) but well held in a Southwell novice on his return from a very long absence last month. Can only watch after that.

Modest Flat winner. No show in 3 outings for hurdles for this stable but low-grade handicaps certainly provide him with a more realistic chance.

9/2
Poor maiden who was beaten 19 lengths when second over 18.5f here in May. Failed to stay 21.5f here last time but still tough to fancy from 5 lb out of the weights.

Bumper winner but yet to achieve anything of worth over hurdles, albeit she may have needed the run after a break when sixth over C&D last month. Would need to see market support to consider.

Forecasts

Appreciate (5/4), Social City (3/1), Miss Marette (9/2), Zoran (5/1), I'm Notapartygirl (15/2), Ranco (11/1), Gertcha (25/1), Lake Washington (33/1)

Verdict

The prolific APPRECIATE is taken to land a fifth win of the season, most likely at the chief expense of Social City whose Ffos Las second has been franked since.
