6/1
Landed the second C&D succes of his career when seeing off 8 rivals 19 days ago. Has a good draw and a 4 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

C&D winner under Callum Rodriguez in July. Only eighth to Sparkle In His Eye back here last month but capable of bouncing back with Rodriguez, who has a good record on him, returning to the saddle.

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs things to drop right.

Won at Southwell in January. Placed on next 3 outings and it's worth forgiving last week's Catterick run as she was trapped wide from a poor draw.

5/1
This front runner is enjoying an excellent season, including a pair of 1m wins here at the start of the summer. Arrives on a hat-trick after 7.5f Beverley wins in recent weeks and another bold showing is on the cards.

Three wins from 14 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (9f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago, soon clear. Back down in trip.

Creditable 2 lengths third of 7 to Monhammer over C&D (good to firm) 58 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Another who could be in the shake-up.

Forecasts

Non Mollare (16/5), How Bizarre (5/1), Sparkle In His Eye (6/1), Rory (7/1), Coaxing (15/2), Monhammer (8/1), Merricourt (9/1), Shifter (12/1), The Caltonian (16/1), Monaadhil (28/1), Huraiz (40/1)

Verdict

HOW BIZARRE really has rediscovered the winning habit this summer and might be able to defy the handicapper again under Tudhope. Callum Rodriguez usually gets a good tune out of Monhammer and Linda Perratt's 5-y-o is second choice ahead of Sparkle In His Eye and Coaxing.

  1. How Bizarre5/1
  2. Monhammer8/1
  3. Sparkle In His Eye6/1
