5/1

Course winner. Twenty six runs since last win in 2021 but is generelaly holding his form well enough at present, a creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 11 days ago. Place claims again.

9/2

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2019 but again shaped well when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 74 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be bang there.

Hellavapace²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Saunders⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 51| BF| C

Ummsuquaim^p⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 56

66/1

Seemingly completely lost her way since the winter, only eleventh of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 70 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 246060

Harbour Storm¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 49

9/1

Twenty runs since sole win in 2018. Back on track when third of 11 in minor event at this C&D (AW, 14/1) 16 days ago, running on. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 542693

Sweet Summer¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 54

40/1

Showed something to work on final start in minor events but ran no sort of race when last of 9 on handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 175 days. More needed on first run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton.

Form: 09-59

(10)

Dark Kris^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 49| CD

11/2

Sole win came over C&D in February. Shaped well enough when fourth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (AW, 10/1) 16 days ago, coming from further back than other principals. Claims.

Form: 449624

(4)

Darcy's Rock¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 53| D

4/1

Winner at Chepstow in July. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap there (6.1f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut but has form on AW and rates as a player again.

Form: 652124

(2)

Fast Danseuse⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Deon Le Roux⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 51

7/1

Another respectable effort when third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 72 days ago but again looked unwilling in the finish. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Tuite.

Form: 70-6553

(8)

Glencoe Boy^h1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 18/1, didn't improve on first run since leaving David Flood when fourth of 6 in minor event at Brighton (9.9f, good) 28 days ago. Down in trip. Hood on 1st time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 5884-84

(9)

Mary Jane Clarke⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. No sign of ability in minor events so looks impossible to fancy on handicap debut.

Form: 0705

Forecasts

Darcy's Rock (4/1), Hellavapace (4/1), Daring Guest (9/2), Cappananty Con (5/1), Dark Kris (11/2), Fast Danseuse (7/1), Harbour Storm (9/1), Glencoe Boy (40/1), Sweet Summer (40/1), Ummsuquaim (66/1), Mary Jane Clarke (150/1)

DARING GUEST hasn't had much racing so far this year but has been shaping well and tops the shortlist this time. Darcy's Rock is also in fine heart and can pose the biggest threat, with the consistent Cappananty Con also likely to run his race.
