Keep It Brief^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 71

14/1

22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good) 23 days ago, effort early in the straight but never landing a blow. Cheekpieces refitted ahead of return to AW.

Form: 70-5646

Mr Chua⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 70| DWS

14/1

Ran well on back of a wind op when close-up third on return at Doncaster (16.5f) in April. However, exploits mixed since, running poorly when last of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Catterick (15.9f, good) 45 days ago. Undergone wind surgery again ahead of this.

Form: 00-3568

Doublethetrouble^v⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Nicola Currie| T: L Wadham| OR: 69

16/1

Not beaten all that far when seventh in 10-runner Nottingham handicap (2m) in May. Not in anything like the same form at Chelmsford in June but given a break since and bounce back certainly not ruled out.

Form: 5326-75

Didtheyleaveuoutto^p1⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: S W Kelly| T: N J Gifford| OR: 65| BF| CD

7/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (16f, good, 11/4) 58 days ago, keeping on late and finishing with running left having been held up. Not ruled out from this sort of mark with cheekpieces added.

Form: 715-334

Yagan¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 65| BF| C

9/4

Course winner. 5/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 12 days ago, left behind final 1f but staying on. Should give another good account.

Form: 1237-42

(3)

Stormbreaker²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72

13/8

Winner at Salisbury (12f) in May. 10/3, good second of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (16.1f, good) 29 days ago, edged out line by another 3-y-o but nicely clear of remainder. That may not be his limit at this sort of trip.

Form: 373132

(5)

Matched^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 21 days ago, pushed along end of back straight but no response. First-time blinkers need to have positive effect now.

Form: 9-557

Forecasts

Maggie's Delight (6/4), Stormbreaker (13/8), Yagan (9/4), Didtheyleaveuoutto (7/1), Matched (15/2), Mr Chua (14/1), Keep It Brief (14/1), Doublethetrouble (16/1)

Plenty arrive with a shout, including STORMBREAKER. A winner at Salisbury in May, he found some improvement having his first crack at this trip when runner-up at Thirsk 4 weeks ago and may have more to offer at 2m. Facile Pontefract winner Maggie's Delight and Yagan are others to consider.
