Afta Party^h1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

14/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tom Ward and a hood replaces usual cheekpieces. Drops in class.

Ebury^b1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Dixon| OR: 61

9/4

Respectable ninth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Blinkers now on and he's well handicapped if he can revive.

Broxi^b⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: D K Ivory| OR: 54| D

5/1

Blinkered for first time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 9/4) 9 days ago, soon clear. Carries penalty but retains scope on old form.

Bold Territories^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 57| D

4/1

Three wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 13/2) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in his quest for the 4-timer.

Nickleby¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| C

12/1

Course winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago, merely closing up late. Hasn't been with this yard long but he needs to up his game.

33/1

Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm, 18/1) 22 days ago, not knocked about on return from a break. Up in trip and she may have a bigger performance in her.

Alafdhal^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

28/1

Winner at Yarmouth in June. 14/1, last of 14 in handicap at that venue (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. That clearly wasn't his running and bounce back is called for.

Form: 471340

Forecasts

Ebury (9/4), Bold Territories (4/1), Broxi (5/1), Hardy (13/2), Embla (11/1), Nickleby (12/1), Catch My Breath (12/1), Afta Party (14/1), Coligone Kate (16/1), Good Listener (25/1), Alafdhal (28/1), Highland Queen (33/1), Madame Marmalade (66/1)

BOLD TERRITORIES has been a revelation since fitted with cheekpieces and the 4-timer looks on the cards back on the AW. Broxi snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Brighton last week and can be a factor again at this level, with Ebury dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers.
