1/1

Promising sort. 15/8 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when ready winner of 4-runner handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Has more to offer over 2m and the one to beat under a 6 lb penalty.

Marbuzet^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| BF

17/2

Winner at Thirsk in June but possibly found race coming too quickly when only fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm, evens) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can bounce back.

Form: 5-63215

(5)

Crossbeau²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: J L Eyre| OR: 49

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 24 days ago, slowly away. Not discounted upped in distance.

Forecasts

At The Double (1/1), Scudamore (5/1), Mukha Magic (7/1), Cloudy Rose (15/2), Marbuzet (17/2), Fred Bear (10/1), Keep It Brief (22/1), Crossbeau (33/1)

A few with chances but it's impossible to side against the unexposed AT THE DOUBLE who took a big step forward when opening his account at Salisbury and is weighted to go in again under a 6 lb penalty for that ready success. Course winner Scudamore rates next best with clear Chepstow second Cloudy Rose also well in the mix for minor honours.
