Roman Dynasty^b³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 77

5/1

It's now 18 runs since last win in 2020 but he arrives in good nick, third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 31 days ago. Back up in trip and ought to be competitive again.

Form: 6-30333

Zulu Girl²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 76

12/1

Got off the mark for 2022 at Brighton in May but below par since, only seventh in 1m handicap at Brighton 26 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 4-51687

(9)

Milltown Star¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: S W Kelly| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74

10/1

Comes here below form, eighth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (7f) 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 690-789

(5)

Intercessor^b³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 70| CD

3/1

Bagged his second C&D win with a career-best effort in 7-runner handicap 32 days ago, always holding on. Not taken lightly despite taking a 3 lb rise.

Form: 535121

Sly Madam^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 69| BF

11/1

Already a three-time winner this term, latest at Salisbury (1m), and posted another solid effort when fourth in 1m handicap at Brighton 8 days ago. Uusal cheekpieces go back on and he merits consideration.

Form: 732124

(7)

Bristol Hill^t,v1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: I Furtado| OR: 69

20/1

Winless this term but he has posted creditable efforts on the back of a wind op in handicaps at Newcastle and Chelmsford City on last two starts. Not discounted.

Form: 9-67754

(11)

Dourado^v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 68| C

22/1

Course winner who posted a good second of 14 in 1m handicap (16/1) at Kempton 26 days ago. It's 33 runs since his last win, however.

Form: 33-4262

(12)

Stevenson¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 75

18/1

Opened his account at Kempton in March and has continued in decent nick, fifth of 8 in 1m handicap at Salisbury 10 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 313555

(3)

Typical Man^h⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67

15/2

Fair winner in 2021. Only twice raced this season and he still looked in need of the run when fifth of 8 in 7f handicap at Haydock 49 days ago. Should be spot on now and he's a player eased a further 2 lb.

Form: 5259-05

(4)

La Feile¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

12/1

Resumed winning ways in 7f handicap at Redcar and backed it up with good fourth at Thirsk (7f) 17 days ago. In the mix now back up in trip.

Form: 555414

(6)

Canagat³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: N Callan| T: J R Boyle| OR: 59

9/2

His losing run now stretches over 2 years but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 to Intercessor in handicap over C&D 32 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 584434

(8)

Sausalito^h1²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 66

40/1

Hinted at promise in 7f/1m novices for Clive Cox. Goes handicapping now for his new yard after 8 months but no forlorn hope, especially if market vibes are positive.

Form: 777-

Forecasts

Intercessor (3/1), Canagat (9/2), Roman Dynasty (5/1), Typical Man (15/2), Milltown Star (10/1), Sly Madam (11/1), La Feile (12/1), Zulu Girl (12/1), Stevenson (18/1), Bristol Hill (20/1), Dourado (22/1), Sausalito (40/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but TYPICAL MAN shaped as though the run was still needed when fifth at Haydock and can now capitalise on a handy mark with Will Buick back in the saddle. Sly Madam is enjoying a fine season and rates the chief threat in her bid for a fourth success, although dual C&D scorer Intercessor should have a say too in an open handicap.
