Jump The Gun^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 90| CD

10/3

Pair of 7f wins this year, the latter here in August. Good fifth of 25 in Silver Cup over 6f here (good) 10 days ago, finishing well. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

Gweedore¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 90| CD

7/2

Gained the fifth course success of his career when seeing off 13 rivals over 1m here 10 days ago. Just as effective at 7f and 2 lb nudge may not prevent another prominent showing if turning up in similar form.

Form: 210721

Love De Vega²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF| D

11/2

Improved form to score on handicap debut at Newmarket after a long absence. Back to that level when third of 10 at Ascot (7f) 25 days ago. Likely to go well again.

10/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 33 days ago. Visor back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Panama City¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

Form: 5-24159

Forecasts

Jump The Gun (10/3), Gweedore (7/2), Love De Vega (11/2), Abduction (6/1), Judgment Call (15/2), Zip (10/1), Riot (11/1), The Organiser (16/1), Culcor (28/1), Panama City (33/1)

JUMP THE GUN looked a bit unlucky in the Silver Cup over 6f here 10 days ago and is taken to resume winning ways back up in trip. The unexposed Love de Vega is feared most ahead of Western Meeting winners Gweedore and Abduction.
