Eight Mile¹^{(ex 12)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 59| D

9/4

3 wins from 10 runs this year. 9/2, another career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 1 day ago. Got to be respected if turned out again quickly under double penalty.

Form: 340511

Evasive Power¹³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Brisland| OR: 58| D

9/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW). Off 139 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Form: 661-477

My Opinion^p1⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 58

200/1

Last of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (6f). Off 92 days and will need to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces here if he's to open his account.

Form: 7446-30

Many Rivers¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 62

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago, slowly away. Each-way shout if she puts her best foot forward.

Form: 48-677

Joy Choi⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: T E Whelan| T: M S Saunders| OR: 56| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, soft) 5 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 40-6854

On Edge^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: C Mason| OR: 51| CD

5/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (13/8) at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago by ½ length from Louis Treize. Another bold show likely under a penalty.

Form: 3539-31

Bama Lama¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: B R Millman| OR: 46| CD

11/2

3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago. Clearly in good heart and she should give another good account under a penalty.

Form: 545331

Louis Treize^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Faulkner| OR: 50| C| D

13/2

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Latest win here in June. 4/1, good ½-length second of 8 to On Edge in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.

Form: 25-1472

Forecasts

Eight Mile (9/4), Joy Choi (3/1), On Edge (5/1), Autumn Angel (5/1), Bama Lama (11/2), Louis Treize (13/2), Evasive Power (9/1), Many Rivers (33/1), My Opinion (200/1)

Though LOUIS TREIZE isn't the most reliable, he put in a good shift when narrowly outpointed by On Edge over C&D recently and has a good chance of turning the tables on that rival armed with a 5 lb pull. Bama Lama was a winner on the same card and may emerge as the main danger, ahead of On Edge, but they will all have their work cut out if the hat-trick seeking Eight Mile lines up again.
