Yoshimi^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Carlisle in June. 8/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 45 days ago, albeit racing on disadvantaged near rail. Quirky sort would hold frame claims if in the mood, though he's not guaranteed to put his best foot forward.

Form: 956814

Exigency⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Liam Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 67| D

9/2

Good second of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 14/1) 4 days ago, caught only late having looked in control entering final 1f. Merits consideration.

Form: 079452

Trabajo Detecho^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 72

9/1

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 9/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 10 days ago. Should give another good account from career-high mark.

Catwalk Model^h⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 69

10/3

1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Yarmouth in June. Did well to get into contention after blowing the start when fourth of 5 in handicap at Windsor (6f, firm, 9/2) 42 days ago but that issue remains a concern with hood back on.

Form: 435-214

Chorus Line¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69| CD

9/2

Won over C&D on return in May but yet to build on that success, only fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 7/2) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 58-1644

Alibaba¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 61| BF

11/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Quickly back to form when third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to soft, 11/4) 13 days ago. Not discounted from easing mark.

Form: 4/05383

Kingwell^b,t⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 59

28/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 17/2, possibly needed the run when third of 5 in handicap at this course (8.2f, heavy) but has since been off a further 92 days. Blinkers back on. Has work to do.

Form: 390-103

Sir Titan⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

6/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable in-frame efforts at Kempton in April and Brighton in May but ran below form after a short break when only sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 50 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 5-59446

Forecasts

Catwalk Model (10/3), Believe You Me (7/2), Exigency (9/2), Chorus Line (9/2), Alibaba (11/2), Sir Titan (6/1), Yoshimi (7/1), Trabajo Detecho (9/1), Kingwell (28/1)

BELIEVE YOU ME showed much improved form to get off the mark at Chepstow 2 weeks ago and Heather Main's low-mileage filly is hard to oppose stepping back up in grade. Exigency was only denied in the dying strides at Bath earlier in the week and should go well again, with the in-form Trabajo Detecho also expected to extend his good spell despite another rise in the weights.
