2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in May. Found his run of good form coming to a halt trying 6f for the first time there last time and should bounce back returned to 5f.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: R A Teal| OR: 90| D

7/2

Useful gelding. Reported to have bled when well held in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and unsuited by steady pace at Nottingham. Lurking on a dangerous mark if back to best.

Many A Star⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 87| BF| C

9/4

Having a good season for this yard, showing improved form to run out a decisive winner here (6f) in May. Resumed progress when winning Goodwood handicap before excellent second there last week. Free-going nature suggests drop back to 5f shouldn't inconvenience.

Successful over 6f at Carlisle in July (final start for Rebecca Menzies) and successful twice in quick succession for new yard at Ayr in August. Nearest at the finish when third at Windsor latest and this track may suit.

Forecasts

Many A Star (9/4), Whenthedealinsdone (7/2), Celsius (9/2), Cairn Gorm (11/2), Water Of Leith (7/1), Get It (9/1), Swayze (10/1), Ready Freddie Go (16/1), Ventura Flame (22/1), Dubai Station (28/1), Blue De Vega (40/1)

A good winner here in May, MANY A STAR arrives at the top of his game after a couple of excellent runs at Goodwood and the drop back to 5f may be in his favour given his free-going nature. There are plenty of potential dangers, headed by Ventura Flame and Water of Leith.
