Rhythm N Rock²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J Butler| OR: 87| D

12/1

Dual winner who hasn't stood much racing but posted one of better races despite being forced to come from a less-than-ideal position when runner-up at Kempton (1m) in July. Not in same form in a warmish race there 2 months later but entitled to come on for the run and is proven on testing ground.

Form: 057-029

Shahbaz^v⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 87

4/1

Found some improvement to get off the mark in a soft ground nursery at Newmarket on final outing last term. Yet to strike this season but went close at Yarmouth on penultimate start and then found the steady gallop against him back up in trip at Chepstow last time. Remains of interest.

Form: 1-36324

5/1

Showed benefit of reappearance run when landing 22-runner Spring Mile at Doncaster in April. Excuses at Newmarket next time but has returned from a mid-season break below form.

Conservationist⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 85| CD

8/1

C&D winner who didn't see her race out particularly strongly when third in 6-runner C&D handicap (heavy) 54 days ago, despite having the run of the race. Remains unproven on ground this testing.

Form: 15-8263

Pearl Eye^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 85| CD

5/2

Proved better than ever when landing his fourth race of the summer here earlier in the month and ran at least as well in defeat under a 6 lb penalty at Chester 6 days later. Can give another good account back down in trip.

Form: 213112

Beccara Rose²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: C Fellowes| OR: 78| D

11/2

Sea The Stars filly who didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Kempton (1m) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. The runner-up has franked that form since and she makes appeal back in handicap company.

Forecasts

Pearl Eye (5/2), Shahbaz (4/1), Harswell Duke (5/1), Beccara Rose (11/2), Young Fire (11/2), Liamarty Dreams (13/2), Conservationist (8/1), Rhythm N Rock (12/1)

SHAHBAZ and Beccara Rose both look interesting runners for Charlie Fellowes. The latter beat a subsequent winner on her most recent outing at Kempton and is still relatively unexposed, but the former is very much at home when the mud is flying and is taken to gain reward for some creditable efforts this season. Pearl Eye arrives at the top of his game and completes the shortlist.
