Course winner who added to his tally at Newbury (1¼m) in July. Not in the same form when last of 7 at Sandown a fortnight later but claims if back to his best.

Sea Stone⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 77

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm, 7/1) 82 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 745

(7)

Flamborough⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76

6/1

Fair form at 2. Didn't show much in a Thirsk handicap on his rather belated reappearance days ago but it's possible the testing ground wasn't to his liking.

Form: 265-7

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 75

2/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, third of 8 in novice at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm) 42 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer now handicapping over further.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 68WS

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when ninth of 13 in novice at Windsor (1¼m, good) in April. Subsequently had wind surgery and off for 5 months ahead of this switch to handicaps. Check betting.

Form: 3-39

(2)

Bunker Bay²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight| OR: 68| BF

5/1

Fair maiden. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip again. Thereabouts if his stamina holds.

Form: 89-922

(3)

Promoting⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: H Morrison| OR: 67

28/1

Second in a 1m course novice at 2 but disappointing in 2 handicap runs at the start of the summer. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Forecasts

Primi Ordinis (2/1), Sky Legend (4/1), Bunker Bay (5/1), Sea Stone (6/1), Flamborough (6/1), Graph (6/1), Study The Stars (13/2), Promoting (28/1)

PRIMI ORDINIS and Graph are well-bred sorts who appeal as potential improvers in handicaps and could be the pair to focus on. The former is narrowly preferred, although the betting may provide more clues. Bunker Bay looks best of the rest.
