Cloud King^h1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76| BF| D

7/2

Winner at Southwell in March. 7/4, last of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Hood on 1st time and booking of Oisin Murphy is a plus but it's starting to look as though he's essentially more effective on the AW.

Form: 868-127

Make It Easy⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74| D

5/2

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 9 days ago. Down another 3 lb and will have a serious chance if matching the form he showed when runer-up at Newcastle in May.

Form: 93-2445

Law Of Average³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 73| D

4/1

Latest win at Lingfield in May. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 30 days ago. He was a long way out of the weights in that Class 2 race and this is a more realistic assignment.

Form: 801-210

Big Time Rascal²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: P & O Cole| OR: 72

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when excellent second of 6 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs considering with William Buick booked.

Form: 589-2

Port Hedland^t1²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 66

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (6f). Off 9 months and tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut. Should have more to offer and he needs close attention in the betting.

Form: 945-

Persian Blue^h,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 65

11/2

Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 12 days ago. Hood and tongue strap back on. Others make more appeal. Engaged 1.35 Wolverhampton Sunday.

Form: 6243-45

Forecasts

Make It Easy (5/2), Cloud King (7/2), Law Of Average (4/1), Persian Blue (11/2), Port Hedland (13/2), Big Time Rascal (8/1)

PORT HEDLAND is the only one of these without a recent run under his belt but he's nevertheless very interesting now handicapping off a potentially handy opening mark. His appeal will be enhanced if the market vibes are upbeat. Make It Easy will be a big threat if able to bounce back, while handicap-debutant Big Time Rascal and Law of Average are also players in this trappy affair.
