10/1

Very good second of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 11/1) 24 days ago. DIdn't look totally straightforward in the process but this looks to be his trip.

Form: 54-9442

Alvesta¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

9/1

Improved again when second of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 12 days ago, going well when short of room, too. May have a bigger performance in her.

Form: 08-2452

Ravenswell³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: R J Smith| OR: 66

9/4

11/2, very good third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 33 days ago, never nearer having been forced to switch. Has to be of interest.

Form: 664-753

I Dare You¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 62

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 14 days ago. May have needed that reappearance but mark clearly demands more.

Form: 677-9

Dibble Dabble²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Ferguson| OR: 62| CD

13/8

Two wins from 5 runs this year. 17/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, comfortably. Expected to be bang there up 7 lb for that smooth win.

Form: 8-41541

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, seventh of 12 in novice event at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut and should improve given pedigree.

Forecasts

Dibble Dabble (13/8), Ravenswell (9/4), Samoon Star (4/1), Alvesta (9/1), Mariner (10/1), I Dare You (25/1)

A sextet to view positively with DIBBLE DABBLE, who looked transformed by the switch to turf and this trip last time, fancied to defy her new mark. Ravenswell was a bit unlucky at Salisbury so demands respect, while Samoon Star is the unknwon quantity in the race after just 3 starts and she's bred to be a lot better than her mark.
