Mostallim^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| C| D

9/2

Bagged his third win this year at Wolverhampton in May. Only eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm, 6/1) 13 days ago but this course winner is the sort to bounce back.

Form: 215428

Rocket Rod⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: G A Harker| OR: 63| C

2/1

Much improved of late and he arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m wins here, well on top on latter occasion (form been franked). Up another 5 lb and back in trip but this strong traveller holds leading claims.

Form: 00-3611

Katyusha^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: C Fellowes| OR: 62

7/1

Last of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 34 days ago. Back down in trip with more needed if she's to shed her maiden tag.

Form: 230-530

Buraback⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 67| D

14/1

Mutaraafeq²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Harrison Shaw| T: I Furtado| OR: 61| C

6/1

Course winner but he came in only sixth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 5/1) 27 days ago. Falling in the weights but he still needs to take a step forward.

Form: 556506

Vivency³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: J Mackie| OR: 58| D

22/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. Only tenth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Doncaster (7f, good) 33 days ago. Not ruled out if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 451490

Waba Daba Do^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62

20/1

Collided with the rail after 1f when pulled up in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 9/1) 32 days ago. Hood goes back on now but others are still preferred.

Kraken Florida^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 57

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. More is still required on his first go on tapeta however.

Form: 5764

Forecasts

Rocket Rod (2/1), Mostallim (9/2), Mutaraafeq (6/1), Bastille (7/1), Katyusha (7/1), Buraback (14/1), Turbo Command (14/1), Waba Daba Do (20/1), Vivency (22/1), Kraken Florida (33/1), Madame Helen (33/1)

ROCKET ROD arrives on an upward curve and is fancied to complete a hat-trick of wins here given he had more in the locker last time and that form has worked out well too. Top weight Turbo Command is next on the list if, as expected, building on his good Haydock fourth, with course winner Mostallim appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
