Winner at Chepstow in June. Very good third of 12 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 7/1) 34 days ago, staying on well. Promises to be well suited by this longer trip and looks worth a chance to resume winning ways.

Showed plenty when third of 10 in minor event at Goodwood on debut in May and both subsequent efforts have contained promise. Likely improver on first try in handicaps.

Plenty of promise first 2 starts and wasn't seen to best effect (caught wide) when only fifth in a novice at Chelmsford last time. Remains with potential but handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark.

Back on scoreboard at Beverley (9.9f) in May but hasn't really fired since and he looks vulnerable to less-exposed rivals. Cheekpieces go on.

Fair form last season, shaping as if a step up to this trip will suit. Slight concern that she's out so late in the campaign, but could feature on handicap debut if tuned up after 8 months off.

Improved form when scoring on the AW at Lingfield in May but subsequent efforts have not been too inspiring.

Brought along gradually last year but upped her game when a staying on second at Sandown on seasonal/handicap debut. Open to further progress and likely to feature.

Lightly-raced maiden who took a backward step on debut for this stable over C&D last time. Left with a bit to prove.

Forecasts

Mantoog (9/4), Marie Laveau (5/2), Malka (9/2), Monty Bay (15/2), Loughville (10/1), Ithaca's Arrow (11/1), Orchestra (12/1), Cochin (50/1)

Verdict

MONTY BAY is going the right way and has been shaping like a step up to this trip will bring more out of him, so he's marginally preferred to Loughville, who was staying on well when an improved second at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Mantoog is also worthy of respect.
