Starlight Nation¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 72

6/1

Promise in maiden/novice events over 7f here this year and appeals as a likely improver in handicaps. On the shortlist.

(2)

Constitution¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70

66/1

(5)

High Court Judge³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Spiller| OR: 70| CD

4/1

Winner of 1m handicaps at Chelmsford and here since joining current yard. This looks a stronger race but dangerous to rule out further progress in his current mood.

Form: 089-11

(12)

Kitaro Kich¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 69

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, good third of 9 on C&D handicap debut 14 days ago. May do better again but the outside stall here isn't ideal.

Form: 066-3

(1)

Bingley Crocker²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: B Pauling| OR: 69

14/1

Placed in a 7f course novice at 2. Well beaten in handicap final start (for Harry Dunlop) but has the potential for better now starting out for a new stable.

Form: 3430-

(9)

Hobson Point^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 68

16/1

(6)

Nibras Rainbow^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 68

6/1

Dual 7f winner at 2, including on AW. Respectable fourth of 9 in nursery at Lingfield (7f) final start. Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on. Oisin Murphy takes the ride.

Form: 810144-

(8)

Roar Emotion²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 67

28/1

Fourth in a pair of 7f novices as a juvenile but the form is only modest and he'll need more to overcome this mark now handicapping after 7 months off.

Form: 044-

(4)

So Chic¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 67

6/1

In good form this year, deservedly getting off the mark in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago. Overcame a positional bias on that occasion and a 2 lb nudge may not stop her.

Form: 66-2421

(11)

Zafaan⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 62

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in novice at Lingfield (1m) 53 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 49-6

Forecasts

High Court Judge (4/1), Kitaro Kich (6/1), Starlight Nation (6/1), King Of Ithaca (6/1), So Chic (6/1), Nibras Rainbow (6/1), Gold Aura (12/1), Bingley Crocker (14/1), Hobson Point (16/1), Roar Emotion (28/1), Zafaan (28/1), Constitution (66/1)

SO CHIC did well to get up from off the pace at Wolverhampton last time and still looks fairly treated after a 2 lb rise. Starlight Nation showed promise in his qualifying runs and can make his mark in handicaps so he's a possible danger. The hat-trick seeking High Court Judge completes the shortlist.
