Tequilamockingbird²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 77| CD

3/1

C&D winner. At least as good as ever when second of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago, finding only an unexposed 3-y-o too good. Can make presence felt.

Form: 3-53602

Genesius²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Morgan Cole| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 77

2/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft, 7/2) 22 days ago. 5 lb rise looks manageable with regular rider on board.

Form: 3228-41

Silverscape^p⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Liam Wright⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 72| CWS

9/2

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 51 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Has since undergone another breathing operation and is becoming well treated if able to bounce back to form.

Form: 5-72059

Nasim^b,h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

17/2

Shaped really well when second of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this course (8f) 14 days ago, finishing well after meeting significant trouble as his effort began to mount. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Leading player.

Form: 847732

Sainte Colette^p⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Olivia Tubb⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 68

14/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in May but offered little when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good, 28/1) 54 days ago. Too early to write her off but others make more appeal.

Form: 9940-10

(7)

Pistoletto^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Tracey⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 66| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 20/1) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Little to be enthusiastic about of late.

Form: 075468

Lednikov^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Elle-May Croot| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| D

8/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (14.1f) 29 days ago. That race appeals as decent form for the grade and he's not ruled out back down in trip.

Form: 211-453

Forecasts

Genesius (2/1), Tequilamockingbird (3/1), Silverscape (9/2), Lednikov (8/1), Afta Party (8/1), Nasim (17/2), Pistoletto (12/1), Sainte Colette (14/1)

NASIM could barely have shaped better in defeat when runner-up over 1m here a fortnight ago, picking up again in impressive fashion inside the final 1f having lost almost all momentum just as he began to lay down his initial challenge. Tequilamockingbird ran a fine race in defeat at Wolverhampton last month and heads the list of dangers, with Lednikov and Genesius others to consider.
