C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 10/1, below form second of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (14f, heavy) 15 days ago. Could probably do with dropping down the weights a little.

Four wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (11.6f, good to soft, 7/2) 28 days ago, shaken up to assert. Back up in trip and 6 lb higher mark to contend with but he's clearly in good heart and boasts a terrific record here.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back but continues to edge down the weights and he may well pop up at some point soon.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Salisbury (14.2f, good) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Didn't get the best of runs that day and she should be involved in the finish, granted better luck here.

10/1
Latest win at Yarmouth in May. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. Likely to run her race, as she usually does, but may again find one or two too good.

5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) 63 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others make greater appeal.

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 9/4) 19 days ago, cosily. Back up in trip and while he merits respect, a 3 lb rise demands more of him.

25/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Tipperary (12.6f, good) 49 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John S. O'Donoghue and she's one to note in the betting, given that she is probably capable of better.

Forecasts

Greased Lightning (9/2), Lusaka (6/1), Militry Decoration (15/2), Blue Hero (15/2), Russian Rumour (17/2), Cherry Cola (10/1), Nellie Moon (11/1), Mrs Twig (11/1), Big Jimbo (12/1), Stiletto (14/1), Fair Dinkum (20/1), Al Sayah (25/1), Silverscape (25/1), Alchemystique (40/1)

Verdict

NELLIE MOON responded well to the first-time cheekpieces (retained) when a closing third on her latest start at Salisbury where she encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage. On that evidence, she is now ready to capitalise on the handicapper's mercy and can underline that point by emerging on top here. Militry Decoration wasn't beaten far in a Class 4 Sandown handicap last time and he is feared most ahead of seven-time course winner Blue Hero, who is bidding for the hat-trick.
