11/1

Latest win at Navan in July. 18/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and will be a threat if able to get back on track off a reduced mark here.

Form: 710400

Spoof^h²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: K Frost| OR: 74| D

25/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Charles Hills when ninth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Chance on old form but others preferred all the same.

Love Trophy Power^p1⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 73| D

12/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 7/1, last of 11 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 74 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and cheekpieces on 1st time. In good hands but improvement needed if she's to emerge on top here.

Never Dark²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 71| D

5/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Good third off a 2 lb higher mark at Pontefract on penultimate start and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 243739

Primo's Comet⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in July. Last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 4 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 140008

(10)

Carlton And Co²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 69

4/1

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 22 days ago. Each-way chance but will need to find some improvement if she's to open her account at the eighth attempt.

Form: 626354

(6)

Wrenthorpe^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 68| BF| D

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Lurking on a very dangerous mark and he's unexposed on the AW.

Form: 400604

(5)

Pockley^b1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 65| C

10/3

Course winner. 7/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (6f) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and it's not hard to envisage this 4-y-o putting in another good shift.

Form: 574732

Gunnerside¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65| C| D

Spanish Angel¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 58| D

25/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (5f). Off 109 days and needs to bounce back.

Form: 339880

Forecasts

Pockley (10/3), Glorious Rio (4/1), Carlton And Co (4/1), Never Dark (5/1), Speedacus (11/1), Primo's Comet (12/1), Love Trophy Power (12/1), Wrenthorpe (22/1), Spoof (25/1), Spanish Angel (25/1), Gunnerside (33/1)

The vote goes to WRENTHORPE, who has slipped a long way in the weights and left the impression that he could be about to strike when a close fourth at Nottingham last month. With just 2 runs on the all-weather under his belt (performed respectably on both occasions), he remains unexposed on artificial surfaces. Never Dark failed to fire over C&D last time but will be a live danger if able to bounce back, while Speedacus is likely to come good for David O'Meara at some point.
