Mukha Magic^b,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 73

66/1

Latest win at Chelmsford (2M) in June. 18/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, soft) 9 days ago, left behind under 2f out. Usual blinkers replace visor here but others make more appeal.

Black Kalanisi^p¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

7/2

Versatile veteran who has confirmed he still has plenty to offer upon returning this term, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft) 10 days ago, outpaced from 2f out and plugging on. Return to further likely in his favour here.

Form: 412-523

Cinnodin^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 76

4/1

Has had a good year, winning 4 handicaps at up to 2m, prior to a pair of solid in-the-frame efforts on turf/AW. Latest York fifth was a rather lacklustre display 16 days ago but he's not out of things dropping back down in grade.

Kalamity Kitty¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E De Giles| OR: 60

11/1

Successful all 3 starts at up to 2m early last year but not kicked on from an encouraging reappearance run this term and would need to see more before becoming of interest.

Form: 11-5008

Cold Henry¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: Sara Ender| OR: 60

15/8

Ended last term with back-to-back victories at Catterick (2m) and largely consistent this season, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (14f) despite finding the test inadequate. This rates much more suitable and worth considering from steadily easing mark.

Dereham¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Faye McManoman| T: John Berry| OR: 60| C

33/1

Course winner. 25/1, last of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, left behind final 1f. Bounce back not ruled out but worth noting she's yet to defy a mark this high.

Form: 0-53125

Spritzin'¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 69

12/1

Maiden who has improved in line with the longer trip in handicaps, not seen to best effect allowing for the sedate gallop when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 18 days ago. Can't be ruled out now stamina is drawn out further.

Form: 06-2464

Bonne Vitesse⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 59| C

18/1

Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 89 days ago, left behind early in the straight. Break needs to have perked her up.

Form: 64-0130

Dragonball Prince^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: H Palmer| OR: 65

11/2

Creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 18 days ago, having run of race. Still, no reason why he won't go well again now upped further in trip.

Forecasts

Cold Henry (15/8), Hedonista (9/4), Black Kalanisi (7/2), Cinnodin (4/1), Dragonball Prince (11/2), Kalamity Kitty (11/1), Spritzin' (12/1), Bonne Vitesse (18/1), Dereham (33/1), Mukha Magic (66/1)

COLD HENRY quickly got back on track despite finding the test inadequate when fifth at Nottingham (14f) on his latest outing 2 weeks ago and, back at this more suitable trip, he shades the vote to come out on top. Kempton-scorer Hedonista and Dragonball Prince head up the dangers, with Spritzin' another worth keeping an eye on.
