13/2

Successful at Lingfield (16.3f) in June and creditable fourth of 6 in handicap (11/4) at the same C&D (good to firm) 9 days later. Can give another good account.

Form: 533314

Humaniste^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 55

20/1

Thirteen runs on the Flat since last win in 2018. 25/1, went backwards from recent run when last of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 5370-60

Beat The Heat^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 54| D

7/4

After 7 weeks off, possibly better for the run when sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good, 9/1) 21 days ago. Has dropped further in the weights and could be ready to take advantage.

Form: 30/9-826

Cinco Saltos^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 50

10/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared little better than of late when fifth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 33/1) 19 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights but needs to find more.

Form: 5-75905

Temur Khan²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| BF| C

9/1

Course winner. Making his second run in 2 days, possibly found race coming too soon when sixth of 9 in minor event at Brighton (11.9f, good, 7/2) 3 weeks ago. Could bounce back having dropped to his last winning mark.

Urban Forest^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 48

6/1

Not beaten far when seventh of 10 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 16/1) 10 days ago, despite a barely adequate test. Still looking for his first win, but he's capable of getting involved returned to this longer trip.

Assembled^h,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 48

11/2

Back up in trip, best effort this year when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 66/1) 22 days ago, late headway. On a career-low mark as he goes further up in distance.

Form: 04-0904

Ladypacksapunch¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 45

8/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Needed stiffer test when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good to soft, 16/1) 12 days ago. Can give her running again with the step up in trip to suit.

Form: 237756

Duchess^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman| T: John Berry| OR: 45

40/1

Has made little impact this year for her current trainer, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good to soft, 40/1) 12 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Forecasts

Beat The Heat (7/4), Assembled (11/2), Urban Forest (6/1), Easy Equation (13/2), Ladypacksapunch (8/1), Molliana (8/1), Temur Khan (9/1), Cinco Saltos (10/1), Humaniste (20/1), Duchess (40/1)

A 3-time winner over hurdles in 2022, BEAT THE HEAT ran well when second at Lingfield on the all-weather in June, before possibly needing the outing after 7 weeks off last time. He can step forward from that to get the better of Easy Equation, who has been holding his form well this year. Urban Forest also enters calculations.
