Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 73| BF

2/1

Shaped well on debut and placed in novice events at Doncaster and over C&D where he was narrowly outpointed by Hebrides (winner again since). Proved to be a disappointment switched to a handicap at former course in June but worth another chance down in grade.

Form: 3-326

3/1

Muhaarar filly who stepped up markedly on first 2 exploits when readily landing 16-runner maiden here (5f) last September. Not so good in handicaps so far this year so more needed back up to 6f for the first time since her debut.

Form: 941-65

Triggered²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| D

6/1

On a workable mark but seems to be going through the motions at present, fourth of 6 at Haydock (6f, good, 15/2) 20 days ago, never nearer. Needs to up his game.

4/1

Registered a second career success having slipped in the weights at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 16/1) 10 days ago, making all. Runner-up that day has scored since so she warrants plenty of respect under a penalty.

Form: 00-0341

5/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Robert Cowell. Hood on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.

A few in with a shout but another chance is given to HIYA MAITE, who pushed a useful sort close on penultimate start over C&D in May, and although he was a disappointing favourite on handicap bow at Doncaster last month, it remains early days for Roy Bowring's charge and he can get back on track down in grade. Bibulous was unlucky not to win over C&D last month so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Libertus.
