Ray Vonn^h,t⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁷⁾| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 68| D

7/2

Improved when off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f, heavy, 10/3) 6 days ago. 6 lb penalty means he'll require another career best to follow up.

Form: 330741

Creative Style^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72

14/1

Winner of maiden at Wolverhampton in June. Some creditable efforts in handicaps since (including C&D) but latest Lingfield eighth wasn't one of them.

Form: 943438

Maxzeno^t¹³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Appleby| OR: 70WS

5/1

Fair maiden. Good second in 5f Nottingham handicap (heavy) in May. Not in the same form at Doncaster the following month and absent since (has had wind surgery). No surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang.

Form: 22-2527

(9)

Secret Mistral²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| C| D

10/1

4/1, career best when winning 4-runner handicap at this course (5f, soft) 28 days ago. That was a weak race so she'll need more again from 4 lb higher.

Form: 935401

Sassy Belle^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 70| CD

5/1

C&D winner on heavy last autumn. Went off too hard when ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 13 days ago. Respectable fifth on Kempton's AW prior to that.

Form: 434059

Fortunate Star¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 69

18/1

Winner at Nottingham in May. 9/1, not disgraced when respectable eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, good) 15 days ago. Steps back up to 6f for the first time since his debut.

Form: 214378

Kokomo⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: Brian O'Rourke| OR: 69

22/1

Fair form when runner-up in maiden/novice events but has failed to make an impact in 2 handicaps more recently. Still early days but needs to get back on track.

Form: 25200

(7)

Hoof It Hoof It^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

6/1

Convincing winner back sprinting when seeing off 9 rivals at Ripon (6f, good) 10 days ago. A 6 lb rise for that comfortable success looks manageable.

Form: 894241

(2)

Selby's Pride^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 67| D

7/2

Creditable ½-length third of 9 to Ray Vonn in handicap at Nottingham (6f, heavy, 9/2) 6 days ago. Weighted to turn the tables on that rival on the revised terms.

Form: 050623

Stone Of Destiny¹³

Weight: 9-6| Age: 8

T: M Appleby J: Alistair Rawlinson

Forecasts

Selby's Pride (7/2), Ray Vonn (7/2), Sassy Belle (5/1), Maxzeno (5/1), Stone Of Destiny (11/2), Hoof It Hoof It (6/1), Secret Mistral (10/1), Creative Style (14/1), Fortunate Star (18/1), Kokomo (22/1)

If HOOF IT HOOF IT is in the same form as when scoring with something in hand at Ripon recently a 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her following up. The frustrating Stone of Destiny was rather outbattled at Redcar last time but is in good enough form to think he'll be bang there again. His stablemate Maxzeno could also have a say if reacting positively to wind surgery.
