Yimou^p1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 71| D

5/1

Is on a long losing run but he again ran respectably without being seen to very best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Return to 6f will hold no fears and promising apprentice takes off valuable 7 lb. Possibilities.

Form: 035256

(7)

Rattling¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| D

13/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago by ¾ length from El Hombre, leading final 100 yds and ridden out. Remains fairly low-mileage and fancied to go well again.

Form: 433771

Shades Of Summer¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Queally| T: J Tate| OR: 69| CD

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. 1/3, career best when winning 4-runner maiden at this C&D 14 days ago, driven clear. Should remain competitive now switched to handicaps but widest draw of all makes things tricky.

Form: 2221

El Hombre¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| D

13/2

Good ¾-length second of 11 to Rattling in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 17/2) 17 days ago, headed final 100 yds. Going through a good spell at present and handy draw to operate from so no surprise to see another good showing.

The Nail Gunner^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 67| BF| D

14/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Creditable 2 lengths fifth of 11 to El Hombre in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 3/1) 36 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 512615

Helvetian²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: K Frost| OR: 67| CD

12/1

7-y-o who landed this race 12 months ago and back to winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in July. Bettered recent efforts on turf when third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 22/1) 22 days ago. Mark has eased a little more.

Form: 581703

Electric Love^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 66

7/1

6 lengths seventh of 11 to Rattling in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 13/2) 17 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Makes polytrack debut now but both career victories have been gained at the minimum trip.

Form: 475327

Reversion¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: C Wallis| OR: 65

125/1

28/1, first run since leaving Alan King when last of 8 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Something to prove here.

Form: 952058

Dorothee³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: C Fellowes| OR: 62| D

12/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Yarmouth in June. Fifth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) 35 days ago. Makes polytrack debut now but mark demands some improvement.

Form: 3715

Araifjan⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Herrington| OR: 60| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 6 days ago. This rates a tougher assignment.

Form: 787462

Six Strings¹¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| D

80/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 80/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) in July, slowly into stride and always behind. Absent again since and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 6-98800

Forecasts

Araifjan (3/1), Yimou (5/1), Shades Of Summer (11/2), Pandemic Princess (11/2), El Hombre (13/2), Rattling (13/2), Electric Love (7/1), Beauzon (10/1), Helvetian (12/1), Dorothee (12/1), The Nail Gunner (14/1), Nigg Bay (40/1), Six Strings (80/1), Reversion (125/1)

PANDEMIC PRINCESS caught the eye with her finishing effort when runner-up over C&D on return/yard debut 12 days ago and she's one to be interested in if taking up this engagement (Engaged to run 8.30 Kempton Wednesday). Should she not line up, recent Wolverhampton 1-2 Rattling and El Hombre should play lead roles again, whilst Yimou and last year's winner Helvetian are others to keep an eye on.
