4/5

Won at Ripon on return before finishing a creditable third of 19 in Heritage Handicap (10/3) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Remains one to be positive about and is expected to be bang there.

Form: 471-13

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 92| D

10/3

3 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win at York in July. Ran well up to his best when fourth of 17 in handicap there (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Likeable type should give another good account.

Abolish^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: I Jardine| OR: 90

12/1

Ex-French/Norwegian performer ran one of his better races in the UK when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 33/1) 8 days ago but mark still looks on the high side.

Form: 37-6855

28/1

Respectable 4¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Fast Attack in Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 18/1) when last seen. Step forward required on handicap debut after 10 months away.

Ventura Express²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 83

10/1

Latest win at Beverley in July. 66/1, shaped as if back in form from disadvantageous draw when eighth of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, running on. Place claims.

Jordan Electrics²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 75| D

14/1

Latest win at Hamilton in June. 14/1, poorly drawn when ninth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 26 days ago but will likely need a career best here racing from 5 lb out of the weights.

Form: 221289

Forecasts

Khanjar (4/5), Ghathanfar (10/3), Project Dante (8/1), Ventura Express (10/1), Abolish (12/1), Jordan Electrics (14/1), Misty Ayr (28/1)

KHANJAR looks a sprinter to follow after 2 fine runs this season and should take all the beating in his bid for a third career success. Ghathanfar is a most reliable performer and should acquit himself well again, with Ventura Express the pick to complete the frame.
