Knockbrex¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 88| D

3/1

His early-season form is strong. Needs to bounce back from stinkers at Royal Ascot and Newmarket's July meeting but he's faced with a much less-competitive scenario here.

Form: 812400

Chriszoff²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 88| CD

5/6

Made it 3-4 when making a successful handicap debut over C&D 22 days ago. Nicely on top and a 6 lb rise may not stop him with further improvement likely.

Form: 5111

Sophiesticate¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Back on the scoreboard when landing a 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month. Creditable efforts on next 2 starts and easy to put a line through latest York run as she failed to stay 2m.

Form: 801359

Paddy The Squire^t³⁶

10/3

Fairly useful form, going very close to making a winning start to his handicap career over this trip at Pontefract last month. Capable of winning soon.

Form: 4022

125/1

Last of 9 in handicap at this course (13f, good, 100/1) on reappearance 7 days ago. Down in trip. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Chriszoff (5/6), Knockbrex (3/1), Paddy The Squire (10/3), Sophiesticate (12/1), Kondo Isami (125/1)

A small field but quite an interesting race. CHRISZOFF is going the right way and can make light of a 6 lb rise for his C&D handicap debut success but fellow 3-y-os Knockbrex and Paddy The Squire are more than capable of giving him something to think about.
