Churchill Bay^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

13/2

Not ideally placed when fourth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 29 days ago, nearest finish. Respected now making only his third start of the year.

Form: 4408-24

Bluebell Time³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: M S Saunders| OR: 70| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Successful at Bath in May but has been below that level since, last of 5 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good to soft, 6/1) 3 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 58-1565

Under Curfew¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| C| D

9/1

Completed 4-timer with success here (5f) in July last year. However, it's now fourteen runs since that last win, ninth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Others preferred.

Bonita B^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 69| D

8/1

4 wins from 16 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (7/4) at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, had bit in hand. Leading contender.

Symbol of Hope^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: G Harris| OR: 63| D

25/1

3 wins from 14 runs this year, latest success at Bath in June. Ran respectably when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 25 days ago. More needed.

Handytalk¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| C| D

7/2

Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/2) 13 days ago. Can make another bold bid back here, but may just be vulnerable to his younger rivals.

Form: 529243

Delagate This Lord³²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Theodore Ladd| T: S Hodgson| OR: 62| D

20/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020, only fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Back up in trip. Has dropped further in the weights but others look stronger.

Form: 336274

Wade's Magic^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

6/1

Off the mark for the season in 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Back up only 1 lb and won off higher marks last year, so can give another good account.

Form: 776331

(7)

Soi Dao^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 62

15/2

14/1, continued in good heart when close third of 11 to Wade's Magic in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Can give her running again.

Form: 423433

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: George Rooke| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 55| D

40/1

Sapphire's Moon⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

14/1

Gained her first success at Brighton (7f) in August. Run best excused when sixth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at the same C&D (good to soft) 6 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Improvement still required.

Handytalk (7/2), Wade's Magic (6/1), Churchill Bay (13/2), Vape (7/1), Soi Dao (15/2), Bonita B (8/1), Cabeza De Llave (8/1), Under Curfew (9/1), Bluebell Time (12/1), Sapphire's Moon (14/1), Delagate This Lord (20/1), Symbol of Hope (25/1), More Than Likely (40/1)

BONITA B has been running as well as ever of late, producing a career best when successful on her twenty-eighth handicap start at Epsom 13 days ago. She could be able to follow up in her current mood, though Churchill Bay looks to be on a workable mark and is feared most. Wade's Magic completes the shortlist.
