9/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 17/2) 31 days ago, weakening 2f out. Return to an artificial surface could spark a revival but widest draw of all makes things tricky.

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) in February. Goes handicapping now on the back of 6 months off/gelding op but only market confidence would make him of interest.

Jimmy Lifestyle^p¹⁶

15/2

Maiden. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces on for 1st time, took step back in right direction when fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Salisbury (8f, good) 16 days ago. Further ease in weights can only help now returning to 7f.

Form: 4-54795

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 55

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft, 150/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers go on for handicap debut and he's another to note in the betting for positive vibes.

Forecasts

Harry The Haggler (13/8), Bishop's Glory (5/1), Connected (11/2), Jimmy Lifestyle (15/2), Glory Call (8/1), Lynwood Lad (17/2), Fayasel (9/1), Cloud Queen (10/1), Elusive Tiger (25/1), Macho Mania (25/1), Queens Resolve (50/1), Mayz (66/1)

HARRY THE HAGGLER was knocking firmly on the door in handicaps on AW/turf earlier this summer and with the return to 7f holding no fears, he's fancied to get off the mark at the ninth attempt. Glory Call, who has landed 2 of his last 3 starts, and Cloud Queen head up the dangers.
