3 wins from 16 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) 11 days ago, always in command. Expected to be bang there.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 60| D

8/1

Latest win at Newcastle in June but has ran below form both starts since. Others more persuasive, though drop back in trip looks a positive move.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 54| D

11/1

Unreliable sort. Twenty six runs since last win in 2020. Creditable 2¼ lengths second of 10 to Breckland in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft, 11/4) 24 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Place claims if in same form.

Written Broadcast^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 52| D

14/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. Easy to back and shaped as if needing outing on first start since leaving Harvey Bastiman when ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 10460-9

(6)

Summer Secrets^v¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 54

11/1

Good second at Doncaster on penultimate outing and ran respectably when fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 485-724

One More Dream^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 52

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. More needed from this mark.

Josiebond^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 48| D

8/1

12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Two Summers^h1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Murtagh| T: A Keatley| OR: 49

66/1

Has struggled in handicaps, only seventh of 9 (14/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 40 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Tough to fancy.

Form: 54-6867

(11)

Combatantcommander^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Easterby| OR: 49

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, shaped better than result suggests when sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort after making up ground from poor position. Not ruled out if able to build on that.

Form: 08566

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: F Watson| OR: 45

Forecasts

Breckland (2/1), Round The Island (5/2), Josiebond (8/1), Unashamed (8/1), How Bizarre (11/1), Summer Secrets (11/1), Written Broadcast (14/1), Combatantcommander (22/1), One More Dream (25/1), Two Summers (66/1), Vamos Chica (66/1), Dark Eclipse (150/1)

BRECKLAND is a reliable performer at this level and is fancied to follow up his recent C&D win. Round The Island scored at Pontefract on Thursday and is an obvious threat, with Summer Secrets also meriting respect.
