Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 90

6/1

Dual winner in 2023 and he signalled he is ready to strike again when an excellent second of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 13 days ago. Remains unexposed at this trip. Big shout.

Form: 431-852

Story Horse⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 79| BF| D

4/1

Bagged his second win of 2024 with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty but can't be discounted.

Form: 2-05121

Wahraan^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 83

15/2

Temperamental sort but scored at Newbury in June and backed it up with a creditable third of 8 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 22 days ago. Considered.

Form: 030513

La Pulga³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| D

25/1

Started 2024 with 12f win at Newcastle in April and posted a solid third of 5 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Not dismissed eased 1 lb here.

Form: 75-1943

Baileys Khelstar³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| BF| D

4/1

Saw his hat-trick bid thwarted when second of 9 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago but still posted a career-best effort. Very much one to consider despite a 2 lb weights rise.

Form: 322-112

Alright Sunshine^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 81| D

25/1

It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in only tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 18 days ago. Blinkers back on but not one to rely on.

Form: 3RR-840

Boldly^p1,t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 75

9/2

Still a maiden but he is knocking on the door, not seen to best effect when third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 24 days ago. Merits serious consideration back up in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form: 7634-23

(10)

Expressionless^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 73| D

12/1

Scored at Nottingham in June but saw his run of good form come to an end when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Sort to bounce back so he enters calculations.

Form: 684127

Flickering Halo⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80

7/1

Got off the mark at Beverley in May and largely in good form since, second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 6 days ago. Needs considering back up in trip.

Forecasts

Baileys Khelstar (4/1), Story Horse (4/1), Boldly (9/2), Oneforthegutter (6/1), Flickering Halo (7/1), Wahraan (15/2), Western Stars (8/1), Expressionless (12/1), Percy Shelley (14/1), La Pulga (25/1), Alright Sunshine (25/1)

ONEFORTHEGUTTER looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his excellent Newmarket second so can come out on top in this very competitive handicap. Boldly has yet to get his head in front but rates a big threat off a lenient mark. The progressive Baileys Khelstar is another who can have a say along with in-form pair Story Horse and Western Stars.
