Sugauli⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 76| BF| D

7/2

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm). Off 95 days. Needs to learn to settle, but is clearly on a handy mark if it all comes together.

Arranmore^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

16/1

Struggling for form so far this term and, while he's back down to his last winning mark, he's hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 20-0597

Arthur's Victory³²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S W Kelly| T: J Parr| OR: 73| BF

16/1

Dual winner last summer and almost landed the hat-trick when a narrow fifth at Epsom 9 months ago, finishing strongly. Can make her presence felt if ready to go on this belated return.

Form: 265115-

Uzincso³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 72| D

7/2

On a lengthy losing run but lower in the weights on turf and produced a solid showing when third in a C&D handicap a month ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 654393

Sir Maxi¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

10/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark to snap a long losing run at Beverley 11 days ago, but looked far from straightforward in the process and doesn't appeal as an obvious sort for the follow-up.

Form: 208831

Bella Veneta⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Cameron Noble| T: Rae Guest| OR: 77| D

22/1

Off the mark at second attempt in novice at Bath in April and was out of her depth in listed company at Goodwood a couple of months ago. Given a break since and remains with potential.

Form: 88-19

Present Moment¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 76| D

14/1

1m Redcar novice winner in October but yet to match that level so far this season. Others make more appeal.

Form: 61-606

Aunt Bethany^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 76

14/1

Not disgraced when third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Looking exposed now but Harry Davies' claim will help.

Form: 19-7203

(7)

Dandys Derriere^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 66

17/2

Has slipped to a handy mark and turned in his best effort of the campaign when second at Windsor 26 days ago, so solid claims if he can build on that.

Form: 8-04742

(9)

Red Kite²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73| D

6/1

Fair gelding who was off the mark at Brighton in June but looked no better than his opening mark when only fifth in a handicap at Nottingham. Drops back in trip now.

Form: 44215

(4)

Mr Marvlos¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: T Kent| OR: 60| BF

11/1

Maiden who has just one respectable effort to his name so far this term. Hard to fancy on the back of a tame showing at Kempton.

Form: 25/9047

Forecasts

Uzincso (7/2), Sugauli (7/2), Red Kite (6/1), Dandys Derriere (17/2), Sir Maxi (10/1), Mr Marvlos (11/1), Aunt Bethany (14/1), Present Moment (14/1), Arranmore (16/1), Arthur's Victory (16/1), Bella Veneta (22/1)

SUGAULI promised more as a 3-y-o and he recorded a pleasing reappearance when third at Yarmouth, so he's worth chancing back from a 3-month break in the hope that he'll settle better. Dandys Derriere and, Uzincso, who also arrive on the back of solid placed efforts, should also be considered.
