6/4

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago. This represents a slight drop in grade and headgear is off.

Form: 442456

The Defiant^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Joshua Bryan| T: L A Dace| OR: 72| D

6/1

AW winner in June but suffered a brace of heavy defeats since, eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Daniel Steele and one to monitor in the betting eased in class.

7/2

Three wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in June. 8/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can be a factor from this mark.

9/2

9/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 7 days ago, just failing. Same mark here, so he warrants respect.

Forecasts

The Thames Boatman (6/4), Connie's Rose (7/2), Imperiousity (9/2), Jax Edge (5/1), Thismydream (6/1), The Defiant (6/1)

THE THAMES BOATMAN represents a yard in excellent form and has a career-low mark to work with, so he receives the vote in what looks a trappy sprint. Imperiousity and Jax Edge are a couple of potential threats.
