Kodi Red¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 83| D

6/1

Back-to-back winner in Ireland at 2 yrs but failed to beat a rival home first 2 starts this season. 66/1, first run since leaving Adrian Murray when fourth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago and dangerous if building on that.

Form: 117-004

Whenthedealinsdone^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R A Teal| OR: 82| D

9/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, last of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Struggling for form at present and the cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 270066

(9)

Safari Dream^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 81| D

10/3

10/1, run best excused when tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and remains low milage for a sprinter.

Form: 0-33070

Simple Man³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 81| D

9/2

11/2, possibly needed the run more than expected after 4 months off when last of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 30 days ago. Bounce back required.

Form: 17-20

(3)

Pop Dancer^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76| D

16/1

4/1, probably a little fortunate when won 4-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 4 weeks ago, edging left on more than one occasion. 3 lb higher now and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 837461

(5)

Level Up^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 76| D

4/1

5 wins from 17 runs this year, latest at Ffos Las in July. 18/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago, every chance over 1f out. Visor back on. Shortlist material.

Form: 114184

Connie's Rose¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 65| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good, 18/1) 16 days ago. Now below her last winning mark but needs to show more.

Forecasts

Almaty Star (3/1), Safari Dream (10/3), Level Up (4/1), Simple Man (9/2), Whenthedealinsdone (9/2), Kodi Red (6/1), Connie's Rose (15/2), Just Glamorous (8/1), Pop Dancer (16/1)

ALMATY STAR made the most of a good opportunity to open his account at Lingfield recently and Roger Varian's charge is fancied to remain unbeaten at the minimum trip having just his second start in a handicap. Level Up can give the selection most to think about with his usual visor back on, ahead of Kodi Red and C&D winner this year Connie's Rose.
