3/1

3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 32 days ago. Yet to fire this season, so others are preferred.

Form: 10-0098

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 68 days ago. Chance if rediscovering previous AW form, though recent efforts have been uninspiring.

Form: 0-72559

Baltimore Boy^v1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 83

11/1

Ran poorly when tenth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Interesting from this sort of mark if back to best but others look more solid at present.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 3/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Still progressing gradually and he's one for the shortlist.

Ernie's Valentine^b,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 83| C

14/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Shaped as if back in form when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 8/1) 7 days ago, not clear run. One to keep an eye on from a lenient-looking mark.

Form: 6-73275

Owl Island⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87| BF

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Resumed progress when fourth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 45 days ago, faring best of those held up. Sound frame claims.

Form: 1174

Million Thanks^b1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy| OR: 81| D

9/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, rare poor effort when last of 12 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good) 40 days ago. Largely consistent sort isn't ruled out of bouncing back with blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 205270

Florida^t1¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| C

7/1

Promising individual. 3/1, pulled too hard when sixth of 9 on handicap debut at Haydock (8f, good). Off 102 days/gelded. Tongue strap on 1st time. Previous win here has worked out well, so he's worth another chance.

Form: 951-6

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 76| BF| CD

28/1

Venetian⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 79| D

9/1

Good second at Haydock in June but hasn't been in the same form either outing since, failing to see out the longer trip when last of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (10f, good) 45 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 1-93266

Forecasts

First View (3/1), Two Tempting (9/2), Owl Island (6/1), Florida (7/1), Endless Power (7/1), Venetian (9/1), Million Thanks (9/1), Baltimore Boy (11/1), Spinaround (12/1), Ernie's Valentine (14/1), Starshiba (25/1), Super Den (28/1), Baileysgutfeeling (80/1)

FLORIDA created a good impression when winning here in December and proved too keen stepping into handicaps for the first time at Haydock. His mark remains fair if able to build on his previous promise now gelded, so he's given another chance. Endless Power overcame unfavourable circumstances when winning at Chelmsford and can pose the biggest threat on his handicap bow, whilst Two Tempting and Starshiba are others with leading claims.
