Harry's Halo⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 78| D

6/1

6/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 68 days ago. Posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat prior to that and, with conditions no problem, he's not discounted.

Form: 11-9225

(5)

Amazonian Dream¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: B R Millman| OR: 76| D

3/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, heavy, 8/1) 11 days ago. Likely to be in the mix.

Form: 543273

(10)

Momaer^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 75| D

6/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Leicester in July. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft, 7/1) 30 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now 2 lb lower and she's one to consider.

Form: 161364

(7)

Tribal Hunter¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

13/2

Promising type. Last of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. A line can be drawn through that display and very much of interest given his 2-y-o promise.

Form: 215-8

(1)

Umming N' Ahing^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: W G M Turner| OR: 76

25/1

Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Goodwood in May. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 115030

(8)

Miss Bella Brand²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 75| CD

16/1

C&D winner in May. 11/1, last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 411700

(6)

Silent Flame¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B R Millman| OR: 74| C| D

11/1

Course winner in May. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 123985

(3)

Tiriac^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Channon| OR: 75| BF| D

5/1

Bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap (3/1) at Salisbury (6f, heavy) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time and should make his presence felt.

Form: 675624

(2)

Abolish^p⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 74| D

40/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. First run since leaving Iain Jardine when twelfth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at York (6f, good), slowly away. Off 93 days. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 769080

(9)

Snuggle²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 71| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 7/1) 26 days ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 234557

Forecasts

Amazonian Dream (3/1), Tiriac (5/1), Momaer (6/1), Harry's Halo (6/1), Snuggle (13/2), Tribal Hunter (13/2), Silent Flame (11/1), Miss Bella Brand (16/1), Umming N' Ahing (25/1), Abolish (40/1)

TRIBAL HUNTER was well-backed ahead of his belated reappearance at Pontefract, but didn't get the opportunity to show what he could do (hampered turning for home and also encountered traffic problems in the straight) and improvement may well be forthcoming. He gets the nod ahead of Momaer, who was drawn wide at Chester last time and the return to a more conventional track here will help. Tiriac is third choice ahead of Amazonian Dream and Harry's Halo.
