17/2
Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in March. 8/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations.

Winner at Windsor in May. 80/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive here.

13/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 90 days ago. Hood back on. Appears to be more effective on synthetics.

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago. Each-way chance.

22/1
28/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 138 days. Clearly more of a force on the AW but his current turf mark reflects that and he's not completely dismissed.

20/1
Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 6 in handicap at Ascot (14.2f, soft, 10/1) 39 days ago. Down in trip and would be a threat off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Leicester in June. Good second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago. No reason to think that she won't be on the presmises once again.

6/1
Good third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 15/8) 36 days ago, clear of rest. This step up in trip looks a good move and he's of strong interest here with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (6/4) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip and remains of interest judged on earlier promise.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 6/1) 20 days ago, idling. 3 lb rise demands more but he's clearly at the top of his game.

Three wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Brighton in July. Last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 6/1) 28 days ago. Claims if able to put that run behind him.

Forecasts

Shazam (11/2), Damascus Steel (11/2), Eddie Temple (6/1), Calypso (6/1), Wild Hurricane (6/1), Gallimimus (17/2), Wonder Starelzaam (17/2), Miss Bluebelle (10/1), Star Caliber (20/1), Monteria (22/1), Precision Storm (22/1)

Verdict

Moving up in trip here should suit CALYPSO, who was going on at the finish when a close third over a mile at Nottingham last month and, now 1 lb lower and equipped with first-time cheekpieces, he is taken to open his account at the eighth attempt. Wonder Starelzaam has acquitted himself well in higher-grade handicaps at Newbury and Windsor the last twice and is feared most ahead of Eddie Temple, Damascus Steel and Shazam.
