Nao Da Mais^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: M Botti| OR: 88| D

25/1

Notched a first win in Britain in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (12f, 15/2) 36 days ago, keeping on well and suited by step back up in trip. 3 lb higher now back on turf.

Form: 5-76521

(6)

Geremia¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86| BF| D

7/1

Confirmed his return to form when second of 8 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago, albeit no match for winner. One to consider back down in trip.

Form: 538022

Croeso Cymraeg²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: H J Evans| OR: 84| D

16/1

Narrowly resumed winning ways back up in trip in 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (12f, good to firm, 11/4) 26 days ago. Handicapped applies more pressure but he's clearly still in top form.

Form: 524151

(9)

Fair Star^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 84

7/1

Gained reward for his consistency when winning 5-runner handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (14f) 6 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that win and can go well again for an in-form yard.

Form: 323371

(5)

Frontispiece²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 82| D

18/1

Better than ever when chasing home a much-improved youngster on his Newbury reappearance and wasted no time getting back on track when fourth of 6 there (12f, good) last time, despite left poorly placed. Can make presence felt.

Form: 331-264

(3)

Scampi^h⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

9/1

Capitalised on the drop in grade in 5-runner handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 7 days ago. More needed under 5 lb penalty tackling stronger opposition again.

Form: 134361

(7)

Furzig¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| D

25/1

Stepped up on his return after 9 weeks off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm, 16/1) 19 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark.

Form: 5816-04

(13)

Emaraty Hero^b1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80| D

12/1

Dual winner last summer who again ran well when runner-up in 11-runner handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Can give another good account.

Form: 352022

(10)

Animato¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| CD

15/2

Doubled his tally for the season in 4-runner handicap at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago, keeping on well. 2 lb higher mark in a stronger affair demands a bit more.

Form: 536131

(4)

Wynter Wildes⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 77| BF

7/2

Positive tactics worked the oracle when doubling career tally at Hamilton in May and has remained in good form since, excellent third in 11-runner handicap at Chester (12.3f, soft) 4 days ago, running on. Likely to go well again if this doesn't come too soon.

Forecasts

Wynter Wildes (7/2), Zealandia (9/2), Fair Star (7/1), Geremia (7/1), Animato (15/2), Scampi (9/1), Emaraty Hero (12/1), Cockalorum (14/1), Croeso Cymraeg (16/1), Frontispiece (18/1), Furzig (25/1), Nao Da Mais (25/1), Augmentarium (33/1)

EMARATY HERO has been knocking firmly on the door from a mark that hasn't budged an inch this year, so he's taken to gain a deserved win. Wynter Wildes can give another good account if this doesn't come too soon, while Frontispiece, Geremia and Zealandia are a trio of others to bear in mind in a competitive handicap.
