Latent Heat¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| C

9/1

Temperamental sort. Course winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 15 days ago, slowly away. Hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 566620

Virgo^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 62

7/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 25 days ago. Should strip fitter for that outing and remains with potential on AW.

Form: 4582-79

Rose Fandango^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: S Dixon| OR: 62| C

11/4

Course winner. Winner here in July. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 7/2) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Opticality¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hunt| OR: 61

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others make more appeal.

Form: 44-520

Pope Gregory⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: P D Evans| OR: 61| CD

13/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 11/2, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 90 days ago, finishing lame. May put that behind him after a break and go well.

Form: 7-47120

One Step Beyond^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 60| C

8/1

40/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Something to find on form.

Form: 720-028

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in April. Last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 12/1) 13 days ago. Needs to do more.

18/1

Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 16 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 809379

Dew You Believe^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 54| CD

4/1

25/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Obvious claims if he's able to back that up (not the most consistent).

Forecasts

Rose Fandango (11/4), Dew You Believe (4/1), Pope Gregory (13/2), Virgo (7/1), One Step Beyond (8/1), Latent Heat (9/1), Opticality (10/1), Power On (10/1), Headshot (12/1), Fire In The Rain (18/1), Pacino (28/1), Aviary (40/1)

POPE GREGORY was lame when last seen 3 months ago but he'd been in good form prior to that and his last 3 wins have come over C&D, so he's marginally preferred to Dew You Believe, who made all here recently, and One Step Beyond.
