Starjik¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 55

14/1

16/1, first run since leaving William Muir & Chris Grassick when below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others make more appeal.

Form: 05546

Magicinthemaking¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: J E Long| OR: 54| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 16/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, deserving credit for faring best of those ridden close up. Now below her last winning mark so not discounted.

Form: 201883

Manettino^v¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 55

7/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Bounced back to form under a change of tactics when second of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 11 days ago, edged out only late on. Back down to 6f today and expected to be bang there.

Form: 454482

Fiscal Policy^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 55

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 12 in minor event at this C&D 19 days ago. Open to progress now heading into handicaps.

Form: 756

You Are My World⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

9/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 10-runner handicap (40/1) at this C&D 6 weeks ago, leading over 1f out and always holding on. Nudged up just 2 lb for that success and may well kick on now she's up and running.

Form: 78-0351

Reckon I'm Hot^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52

12/1

9/1, followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 272346

Rainbow Sign^t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 51

5/1

Career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 51 days ago, well positioned to lead inside final 1f. Not an obvious type to follow up, though.

Form: 616521

Piselli Molli⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D Shaw| OR: 50

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Fared better than of late when fourth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to build on that today.

Form: 800074

Twentysharesofgrey³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 50| D

11/2

Unreliable type. 11/2, not disgraced returned to sprinting when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 37 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Remains opposable for win purposes.

Form: 522765

(10)

We're Reunited^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: M Blake| OR: 50| D

33/1

Latest win at Bath in June. 12/1, run best excused when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago, racing on unfavoured stand side.

Form: 781666

Fact Or Fable^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 49| C

9/1

Course winner. 12/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago, just failing. Looks competitive on form from just a 1 lb higher mark.

Forecasts

You Are My World (9/2), Rainbow Sign (5/1), Twentysharesofgrey (11/2), Manettino (7/1), Magicinthemaking (15/2), Fiscal Policy (9/1), Fact Or Fable (9/1), Munificent (10/1), Reckon I'm Hot (12/1), Starjik (14/1), Piselli Molli (14/1), We're Reunited (33/1)

It's now thirteen runs since MANETTINO made a winning debut but he couldn't have gone much closer at Chelmsford 11 days ago so Stuart Williams' charge is afforded the tentative vote nudged back up in the weights. Fiscal Policy has shown glimmers of promise in novice events so he's feared most now handicapping, while Fact Or Fable and Magicinthemaking are another couple worth considering in an open-looking finale.
