Some Nightmare^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61| CD

5/2

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable third of 7 in minor event at this course (6f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's been given every chance by the assessor.

Form: 965563

Bama Lama¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 57| BF| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in June. 11/4, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Very likely to give it another good go back over 5f.

Form: 833132

Papabella⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W S Kittow| OR: 56

9/2

Still looking for first win and last of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 47 days ago. That was her reappearance and yard going much better now, so better definitely expected.

Form: 70542-0

Brandy Station^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 56| CD

9/2

Doesn't run on turf that often but he's a multiple C&D winner, adding to tally on reappearance here 17 days ago. Had the run of the race on that occasion and more to do back in a handicap.

Form: 33895-1

Redshore City¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 53

12/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. 16/1, first run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when fifth of 7 in minor event at this course (6f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. May not have the pace for 5f.

Form: 818555

(3)

Twayblade¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 52

5/1

10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Eased 2 lb and he should be in the mix.

Form: 1-65034

(2)

Rhubarb^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Finley Marsh| T: R J Price| OR: 50| D

10/1

Tongue strap tried again but fared no better when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 11/2) 16 days ago. Is 2 lb below her last winning mark, at least.

Form: 842584

Forecasts

Some Nightmare (5/2), Papabella (9/2), Brandy Station (9/2), Twayblade (5/1), Bama Lama (7/1), Rhubarb (10/1), Bonny Power (10/1), Redshore City (12/1)

It might be worth siding with SOME NIGHTMARE, a previous C&D winner who normally contests stronger handicaps than this. Papabella represents a yard going much better now so she'll surely come on plenty for her low-key reappearance, with Bama Lama likely to give it another good shot.
