Aryaah^p1,h,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Joshua Bryan| T: D Steele| OR: 62

20/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 40/1) 11 days ago. Hood back on and first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 578279

Kondratiev Wave^p⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

12/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy, 9/2) 57 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and definite chance off this mark if able to bounce back.

Form: 89-5690

Spirit Warning^v⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 58| BF| D

15/2

Twenty-four runs since last win in 2019. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm, 9/4) 8 days ago. Visor back on and, chances are, he'll find one or two too good once more.

Form: 44/80-45

Compere^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

3/1

Respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Rivas Rob Roy in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 6/1) 28 days ago. 4 lb better off with that rival now and should make his presence felt.

Form: 4-08244

Letter Of The Law^b⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 54| CD

C&D winner in May. 7/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 251224

Rivas Rob Roy^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 51| CD

4/1

Won 12-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago. That was his third win here and while more is needed up 3 lb, he's likely to be in the shake-up.

Form: 185621

Forecasts

Letter Of The Law (6/4), Compere (3/1), Eagle Eyed Freddie (3/1), Rivas Rob Roy (4/1), Spirit Warning (15/2), Kondratiev Wave (12/1), Aryaah (20/1), Last Roar (28/1), Ravi Road (50/1)

LETTER OF THE LAW has been in good form since returning from a short break in April and he is one of the more solid options in an open-looking race. Next on the list is Compere, who has been knocking on the door of late and has a good chance of reversing last month's C&D placings with Rivas Rob Roy on these revised terms. Recent Catterick claimer winner Eagle Eyed Freddie is also shortlisted, while Kondratiev Wave is dangerous to discount having dropped to a potentially very handy mark.
