Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 74| D

11/10

4/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, looked well served by the drop back to sprinting then and he could yet have a little more to offer at this trip. One to consider from handy draw.

Mellys Flyer^h⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Wallis| OR: 74| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Not disgraced on the back of a 10-week break when fourth of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Starts out for new yard now.

Some Nightmare^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 73| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 15/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago, effort 2f out and no extra final 100 yds. Now operating 1 lb below last winning mark and he remains fairly lightly raced on AW.

Kessaar Power²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 74| D

14/1

First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Chester (6.1f, soft) 22 days ago. Mark is probably about right on balance.

Regal Envoy^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 71| D

9/1

Latest win at Bath in September. Creditable third of 16 in handicap back at that venue (5.7f, good, 25/1) 21 days ago. Ran well on sole previous visit here and not underestimated despite wide draw.

Belle Fourche^t,v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Richard Oliver| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, merely plugging on. First-time visor needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 87-3087

Fifty Year Storm³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 71| D

7/1

Lightly-raced winner. Respectable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/2) 35 days ago, finding only a much-improved sort too good. Less exposed than most and another who should go well again.

Form: 31-922

El Hombre¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in March. 22/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, effort when not clear run entering straight and never nearer. May be sharper with that under his belt and handy draw to operate from here.

Mokaatil^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68| D

12/1

Has been operating some way below his best this year but showed plenty of zest in a change of headgear when fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6f) 11 days ago. Lurking on a very appealing mark if building on that but draw could have been kinder.

Beauzon^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67| CD

40/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving David O'Meara when last of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 33/1) 12 days ago. That was his first start for 7 months but he remains 2 lb above last winning mark.

The Princes Poet^p³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66| BF| D

14/1

Latest win at Brighton (6f) in May. Dispelled lesser effort when third of 4 in handicap back at that venue (5.3f) 33 days ago, despite looking unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form.

How Impressive (11/10), Fifty Year Storm (7/1), Regal Envoy (9/1), El Hombre (9/1), Belle Fourche (11/1), Mokaatil (12/1), The Princes Poet (14/1), Kessaar Power (14/1), Mellys Flyer (20/1), Some Nightmare (22/1), Beauzon (40/1)

HOW IMPRESSIVE looked well served by the drop back to sprinting when opening his account on turf at Yarmouth 17 days ago and, from a handy draw, he could be worth siding with to follow up with his rider's claim off-setting his rise in the weights. Fifty Year Storm is less exposed than most and arrives in form, so she's feared, along with The Princes Poet. Mokaatil is another to monitor lurking on a very handy mark.
