7/4

Course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) 7 days ago, always holding on. Nudged up 2 lb and another bold show likely.

4/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 9 days ago. Several solid efforts in defeat prior to that, including when runner-up over C&D in May, and he merits respect.

Red Allure^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 50| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 4/1, first run since leaving Lisa Williamson when respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. Down another 1 lb and she has to enter calculations.

28/1

20/1

50/1

C&D winner. One win from 27 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

150/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 13 in handicap (125/1) at Musselburgh (5f, soft), slowly away. Off 9 months and this veteran is hard to warm to.

Forecasts

Astapor (7/4), Impressor (7/2), Gustav Graves (4/1), Red Allure (15/2), Stallone (10/1), Rajmeister (11/1), Wee Fat Mac (20/1), Captain Corcoran (20/1), Quanah (28/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (50/1), Mrs Happy (125/1), Christy's Star (150/1), Star Citizen (150/1)

ASTAPOR produced a career best when making all at Carlisle last weekend and, nudged up just 2 lb, he is taken to go in again. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Red Allure, who made an encouraging start for this yard when fourth over C&D recently and she's lurking on an attractive mark. Gustav Graves and Impressor are others to consider.
