9/1

Nineteen runs since his last win in 202 but visored for 1st time when a good third of 8 to Grey Fable in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Needs to back it up with visor again sported.

Form: 8-00003

4/1

Made it 3-5 this year with a wide-margin success in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Helped by being held up in a strongly-run race there but she's still not taken lightly in her current mood.

Form: 5-15121

Grey Fable^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 63| CD

7/4

Confirmed promise of yard debut when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap over C&D 14 days ago by 2 lengths from Hot Team. Up 4 lb but had something in the tank there so a big player once more.

Form: 6-80321

Ready To Shine^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 62| D

10/1

On a losing run and had a wind op before coming in only fourth of 5 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 45-9574

Naturalia¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 68

15/2

Gained his breakthrough win at Carlisle in May and has continued in good form, second of 5 there (11.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Can go well again off an unchanged mark.

Form: 45-3122

Hot Team^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 57

14/1

Doubled his tally for the season at Hamilton (9f) in June. Turned in a rare below-par effort when sixth at Haydock last time but he's the sort to bounce back.

Form: 131426

Infinite Honour³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: S Corbett| OR: 64| D

9/2

Arrives on the up, getting off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 39 days ago. That form is working out very well so he must enter calculations despite taking an 8 lb weights hike.

Form: 4-53221

Forecasts

Grey Fable (7/4), Lincoln Rockstar (4/1), Infinite Honour (9/2), Naturalia (15/2), Green Team (9/1), Ready To Shine (10/1), Hot Team (14/1), Lhebayeb (16/1)

Plenty with chances but Irish-raider GREY FABLE looks an improved model for his new yard and can make light of a 4 lb rise for his recent impressive C&D victory. Infinite Honour also comes here at the top of his game though and should provide a stern test, while Naturalia and Lincoln Rockstar also command plenty of respect.
