Nasim^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75

12/1

66/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Down 2 lb and, 2-3 on the AW, he's by no means discounted.

11/2

5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Now 1 lb lower and it's unlikely that she'll be far away if taking to this surface.

Lucky San Jore⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 73| CD

8/1

Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (12/1) 62 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb rise fair but another personal best needed if he's to follow up.

Form: 83-051

It's A Love Thing¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler| OR: 68| CD

40/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 5/4, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f), driven clear. Off 174 days and this is a tougher assignment.

14/1

Land Of Eagles^p1,t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 70

12/1

Forecasts

Holocene (13/8), Yarralumla (11/2), Lucky San Jore (8/1), Baby Steps (12/1), Land Of Eagles (12/1), Nasim (12/1), Fifteenthamendment (12/1), Zameka (12/1), Secret Glow (14/1), Arcadian Nights (16/1), Carey Street (33/1), Mudlahhim (40/1), It's A Love Thing (40/1)

HOLOCENE put the race to bed in decisive fashion over 8.6f here last week and she is likely to take plenty of stopping under a penalty, with this step back up in trip unlikely to pose a problem. Next on the list is Baby Steps, who put in a good shift when third behind a pair of relatively unexposed rivals at Lingfield last time and figures on an attractive mark. Yarralumla is best of the rest, though Carey Street and Nasim both make some each-way appeal.
