Switchel^t1¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 72

12/1

Upped her game when second in a heavy-ground maiden at Nottingham in May. Disappointing at Kempton since but up in trip/tongue tied after a break, so could get back on track.

Form: 59-20

Leitzel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: David Egan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72

14/1

Won here on first 2 starts but hasn't gone on as hoped in handicaps this year, failing to beat a rival at Haydock last time. Bit to prove.

Form: 0-07596

Emma Emilleen³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72

10/1

Fairly useful form at best but hasn't kicked on from a progressive start to her career, running no sort of race on handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 6-3248

(8)

Al Hargah^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 69| D

5/1

Has held form well equipped with blinkers, career best when landing 7-runner handicap at Newbury (10f, good, 85/40) in August and far from disgraced when third at Leicester 8 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 123213

Kynsa¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J A Osborne| OR: 67| BF

5/1

Shaped well at Ffos Las on penultimate start and is probably best excused a blip there last time. Should be back on her game, so likely to be on the premises.

Form: 743226

Kamanika²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: J Parr| OR: 67| BF| D

4/1

Has held her form well so far this term, scoring at Nottingham and Leicester over this trip. Solid third at Newmarket last time and every reason to think she'll run with credit once more.

Form: 435143

Forever Proud⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Liam Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 62

100/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Pontefract (10f, good) 61 days ago. First run for yard after leaving James Horton. Needs to up her game.

Form: 7-38645

(10)

Cherryhawk³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 60

11/2

Fair maiden who isn't really progressing and might need a bit more help from the handicapper before she's opening her account.

Form: 77-6279

(2)

Bletchley Storm¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 59

16/5

Lightly raced and has shown promise on each of her three starts in handicaps, travelling smoothly when third at Southwell back from a break recently. Warrants plenty of respect.

Form: 8-66223

(3)

Lady Of Nepal¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

150/1

Yet to offer much in the way of encouragement and seems unlikely to feature in this.

Form: 5450

Forecasts

Bletchley Storm (16/5), Kamanika (4/1), Kynsa (5/1), Al Hargah (5/1), Cherryhawk (11/2), Emma Emilleen (10/1), Expert Witness (10/1), Switchel (12/1), Leitzel (14/1), Forever Proud (100/1), Lady Of Nepal (150/1)

BLETCHLEY STORM is still unexposed and shaped nicely (travelled well) when third at Southwell last time. Back down in trip, she's fancied to improve enough to get the better of Kamanika and Al Hargah, who both arrive in good order.
