Course winner. 9/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, though went through the race rather lethargically. Well treated if back to best.

Afta Party^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward| OR: 65

11/1

Placed at Ayr and Newbury earlier this summer but has began to develop a bit of a hit-and-miss profile, only eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 7/1) 20 days ago. Now runs from career-low mark.

Craic At Dawn^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65

14/1

Fairly useful form at best for J. S. Bolger but went wrong way for that yard and has shown nothing for current trainer, eighth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago, slowly away. Blinkered for 1st time.

10/1

C&D winner in June. Going through the motions since, only third of 5 in claimer (12/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Others preferred.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

6/1

Shaped better than the result when eighth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Will be suited by drop in trip and enters calculations.

Forecasts

Redredrobin (3/1), Gilt Edge (4/1), Connie's Rose (5/1), Danny Bleu (5/1), Sun Emperor (6/1), Chifa (17/2), Days Like This (10/1), Afta Party (11/1), Craic At Dawn (14/1), Emulation (20/1), Never In Fourth (33/1), Letter Of The Law (40/1)

CONNIE'S ROSE has improved on her last 2 outings and is fancied to land the course hat-trick here. Redredrobin has also been in good form of late, whilst Sun Emperor should be able to make more of an impact over this trip.
