Stormingin^b⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54| D

9/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2019 but ran creditably on return from break when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 33/1) 4 days ago, nearest finish. Lack of pace here is a worry for this strong-travelling hold-up sort, but he's not handicapped out of it.

Form: 0-26265

Mummy's Boy¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 53

17/2

Struggled since joining this yard from Charles Hills, though met trouble when tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 12 days ago. Mark continues to slide but he's not one to be confident about at present.

Form: 709000

Faithless Insomnia⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

11/1

No better than mid-field in 5 starts so far, though saddle slipping provides a viable excuse last time. Nevertheless, needs to show more to figure here.

Gold Standard²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| C

5/1

Course winner. 10/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Profile has been patchy but leading player if able to continue in same form.

No Such Luck^h,t⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Ingram| OR: 51| CD

11/8

C&D winner. Not seen to anywhere near best effect (raced wide/struck into) when fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 79 days ago on return. Well handicapped on pick of form and could get easy lead if wide draw doesn't make life too difficult in the early stages.

Uther Pendragon^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: J S Moore| OR: 48| D

10/3

Two wins from 61 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 25 days ago. More poor efforts than good of late and others are preferred.

Form: 662586

My Lady Claire^p³¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 47| D

18/1

Won minor event at Chelmsford in January but was below par in similar event there on next start. Mark isn't beyond her if ready to go after 10-month break.

Forecasts

No Such Luck (11/8), Uther Pendragon (10/3), Gold Standard (5/1), Mummy's Boy (17/2), Stormingin (9/1), Faithless Insomnia (11/1), My Lady Claire (18/1), Carmela Soprano (25/1), Broughtons Mission (33/1)

A chance is taken that NO SUCH LUCK might get his own way at the head of affairs here, with Roger Ingram's gelding looking on a nice mark based on the pick of his efforts in the summer. Gold Standard and Stormingin rate chief threats.
