Bama Lama⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 48| D

3/1

Modest filly. 16/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip shouldn't be an issue and she's one to consider.

Form: 0-07223

Fossos^b,t⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Faulkner| OR: 47| CD

11/2

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 4 days ago. Not without hope in an open-looking race.

Form: 160882

Louis Treize¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 48| D

15/2

Unreliable type. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 8/1) 13 days ago. Chance if on-song, but he's not the easiest to predict.

Form: 026795

Mr Pc¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| BF| D

7/1

Modest gelding. 7/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 17 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 332753

Pastfact⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: M S Saunders| OR: 49| BF| C

7/2

Modest gelding. Course winner. Seventh of 10 in minor event (7/2) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 54 days ago, slowly away. Good second over C&D on penultimate start and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 139-727

Pyrrhos^b,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hunt| OR: 40

28/1

Blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 7 in minor event at Ffos Las (5f, good, 22/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 60-0804

Thegreyvtrain⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 47| D

12/1

Modest mare. Last of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, firm, 7/1) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 062330

Hattie C¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Harris| OR: 50| D

12/1

Modest filly. Winner at Brighton in July. 5/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 17 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 041775

Notre Maison¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 50

15/2

Modest filly. 9/2, creditable second of 7 in minor event at Ffos Las (5f, good) 11 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put her in the picture.

Forecasts

Bama Lama (3/1), Pastfact (7/2), Fossos (11/2), Mr Pc (7/1), Notre Maison (15/2), Louis Treize (15/2), Quarter Blue (8/1), Hattie C (12/1), Thegreyvtrain (12/1), Pyrrhos (28/1), Captain Ryan (66/1)

PASTFACT was below par at Bath when last seen in June, but he was a good second in a C&D handicap nine days earlier and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. Mr Pc landed a classified event on the all-weather in March and has largely acquitted himself well in handicaps since. Tony Carrol's representative is feared most, while Bama Lama and Notre Maison are others to consider.
