Wadacre Grace⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 69| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 19 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/4) 8 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and she needs considering.

Form: 759131

(9)

Mykonos St John^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 16/1) 16 days ago. Reproduction of his C&D near miss on penultimate start would give him a fighting chance.

Form: 865928

(8)

Intricate Pillar^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: T Ward| OR: 66

16/5

Good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 2/1) 17 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and should have a part to play.

Form: 406622

(2)

Roscioli^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: B R Johnson| OR: 62| D

25/1

Latest win at Brighton in June. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Brighton (7f, heavy) 30 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Others make more appeal.

Form: 514246

Wake Up Harry¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 59| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Very much one to consider starting out for his new yard.

Form: 260082

(3)

Deed Pole¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 59

11/1

18/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago, running on. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 443343

(4)

Recuerdame¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 56| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 10/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Place possibilities.

Form: 501446

(5)

Forever Proud³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: M R Hoad| OR: 56

125/1

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 200/1) 31 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 864590

(10)

Equiami¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Davies| T: P J McBride| OR: 48| D

20/1

Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (7f, AW) 11 days ago. Others look stronger.

Form: 170964

Sapperdean^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: L A Dace| OR: 45

66/1

33/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 26 days ago. Still, a sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to take this.

Form: 708703

Forecasts

Wake Up Harry (13/8), Intricate Pillar (16/5), Wadacre Grace (5/1), Recuerdame (9/1), Deed Pole (11/1), Mykonos St John (12/1), Equiami (20/1), Roscioli (25/1), Sapperdean (66/1), Forever Proud (125/1)

A good second at Kempton recently on final start for Simon Dow, WAKE UP HARRY looks the way to go. He remains on an attractive mark and his tactical versatility is another plus point. Intricate Pillar's turn is seemingly near judged on his efforts at Kempton and over C&D this month, while Wadacre Grace has won two of her last three starts and looks set for another prominent showing.
