Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| D

9/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. 8/1, ran poorly when seventh of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, heavy) just under 7 weeks ago. Can bounce back.

Form: 412667

Hello Zabeel³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Blake| OR: 69| D

5/4

33/1, showed his form for the first time for current connections after 7 months off when fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. Player if building on that with the booking of Murphy catching the eye.

Form: 35568-5

Prince Of Bel Lir^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 67| D

16/1

Ran better than previously this season without being seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good, 16/1) 30 days ago, staying on after short of room 1f out. Now below his last winning mark so he's one to consider.

Form: 814-076

Diamond Dreamer^b³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies| T: P R Chamings| OR: 63| D

11/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest at Wolverhampton in April. 10/3, below form when eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) just under 5 weeks ago, doing too much too soon.

Form: 3-91128

Nevernay²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, again fell a long way short of his debut form when ninth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could make more of an impact back sprinting.

Form: 59U9

Whoop Whoop²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 67

12/1

11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, failed to improve when ninth of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett (5,000 gns) and will need to hit the ground running.

All In The Hips³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: P D Evans| OR: 61| C| D

11/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Below form when seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 39 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 865417

Greatest Time¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 60

18/1

Wasn't seen to best effect dropping to a sprint a trip for the first time when seventh of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago. Hard to fancy on this season's evidence.

Form: 85-8087

Lahina Bay⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 58| C| D

13/2

Course winner. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Should remain competitive from this sort of mark.

Form: 004-742

Kapparis Kid¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| D

25/1

Temperamental sort. 11/1, ran poorly on first outing since leaving John Ryan when last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 12 days ago.

Form: 585757

Meimun Johnny^b³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Craig Benton| OR: 52| D

125/1

Modest performer in Hong Kong and looked rusty on first outing since leaving K. Leung Man after 15 months off when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 66/1) on UK debut 34 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 2/2928-0

Forecasts

Hello Zabeel (5/4), Lipsink (7/4), Lahina Bay (13/2), Nevernay (7/1), Airshow (9/1), All In The Hips (11/1), Diamond Dreamer (11/1), Whoop Whoop (12/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (16/1), Greatest Time (18/1), Kapparis Kid (25/1), Meimun Johnny (125/1)

A competitive finale in which preference is for LIPSINK, who has made a cracking start for Mick Appleby and remains feasibly treated on old form. The main danger may emerge from Hello Zabeel, who showed his form for the first time for current connections at this C&D recently and has the services of former champion jockey Oisin Murphy. Prince of Bel Lir and Lahina Bay are another couple to consider, too.
