33/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win in selling company at Leicester (6f) in June. 20/1, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Red Mirage^v1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 87| D

9/1

Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford (8f) 15 days ago, ridden over 2f out and not quicken. Mark is easing at least and first-time visor may put an edge on him.

Form: 244-405

Royal Pleasure^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 86| D

11/1

3-time winner for Sir Mark Prescott who shaped as if back in form when sixth in big field York handicap (7f) 3 weeks ago, making up plenty of ground. However, fact he was again very slowly away then is a concern here.

Form: 3098-66

Paws For Thought⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: R Kingscote| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 79| D

5/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Chester (7f, good) 7 days ago, unchallenged. Carries penalty. Merits consideration.

Form: 952-371

Metabolt¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 83| CD

15/8

Improving 3-y-o who finished strongly to score on return over C&D in May and displayed a nice turn of foot to follow up at Windsor (1m) 18 days ago, with a bit in hand. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Form: 2146-11

Tuscan^v1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

12/1

Tenth of 16 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 21 days ago, ridden halfway and weakening. Yet to fire in 4 starts so far this campaign and visor needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 47-9080

Garner²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: A Watson| OR: 85

11/1

Successful on second of starts for the Charlton's as a 2-y-o and defied a penalty to follow up convincingly back from 13 months off at Lingfield (6f) in June. Couldn't replicate that on handicap debut at York since but it remains early days at least.

Form: 31-10

Dancinginthewoods^p¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 74| D

14/1

Largely held form well on AW during the winter prior to a rare below par display at Newcastle (1m) in March. Returns from a 4-month break on a handy mark on the pick of his form so interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Engaged 7.50 Newbury Thursday.

Form: 12-3348

Waiting All Night³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 81

15/2

Fourth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, firm) 30 days ago, weakening out of things having taken a strong hold. Possibly needs further respite from the assessor before becoming of interest.

Form: 0724-84

Forecasts

Metabolt (15/8), Paws For Thought (5/2), Young Fire (4/1), Waiting All Night (15/2), Red Mirage (9/1), Garner (11/1), Royal Pleasure (11/1), Tuscan (12/1), Dancinginthewoods (14/1), Baileysgutfeeling (33/1)

METABOLT has returned an improved model this term, supplementing his C&D reappearance success with a bit to spare at Windsor 18 days ago. Clearly versatile as regards ground, he could well have more to offer on that evidence and can complete the hat-trick. Chester scorer Paws For Thought and recent course winner Young Fire head up the dangers.
