6/1

Fair performer who ran respectably when fifth of 6 in 7.6f handicap at Chester (good to firm, 13/2) 76 days ago. needing no excuses. Eased 2 lb but remains vulnerable. Has been gelded.

Form: 56-3045

John The Baptist^p,h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 73

Is tumbling in the weights but fared no better in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago. Down in trip. Has work to do.

Form: 806506

Mount Kosciuszko^b⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

9/1

Made it 2 from 2 in blinkers when readily landing 12-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good) back in June. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid providing headgear continues to have same effect following a break.

Form: 54-2411

Improvise⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 73

3/1

Lightly-raced winner who ran her best race back down in trip when second of 5 in 1m handicap (9/1) at Newmarket (good) back in June, best work late on. Respected off same mark.

Form: 91-852

(4)

Total Lockdown^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: J Butler| OR: 72

5/2

Progressed again over 2f longer trip when dead-heating for first in 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 26 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb but should remain competitive.

Form: 68-3421

Tudor¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72

4/1

Posted an improved effort when second in 3-runner affair at Ffos Las last month and again ran well when filling same spot at Yarmouth (8f) 11 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 434-622

(5)

Big Bear Hug⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 68

15/2

Fair maiden who ran well with her reappearance behind her when third at Nottingham (10.2f) in May, doing best work at the finish. Unable to match that form both starts since though, seeming unsuited by track at Newmarket last time.

Form: 43-0368

Forecasts

Total Lockdown (5/2), Improvise (3/1), Tudor (4/1), Sisters In The Sky (6/1), Big Bear Hug (15/2), Mount Kosciuszko (9/1), John The Baptist (20/1)

MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO was readily on top of a next-time-out winner at Bath back in June and he's fancied to complete the hat-trick providing the headgear continues to have a positive effect following a 3-month break. Tudor and Improvise head the opposition.
