Radio Goo Goo¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: P D Evans| OR: 89

4/1

Tough filly who quickly resumed winning ways in a Chester handicap in June. Ran creditably in defeat both starts since and can't be taken lightly.

Ventura Express²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr| T: P T Midgley| OR: 89| D

9/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in July. Sixth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Pontefract (5f, good) 20 days ago. Probably still in form and not easily dismissed.

Form: 93-1916

Existent^v⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies| T: S C Williams| OR: 88| D

4/1

Hasn't won for a while but there have been better signs of late, fourth at Haydock 4 days ago. One to have in mind with visor refitted.

Form: 7-20444

Manila Scouse^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

7/1

Can blow hot and cold but he has the capability to defy this mark on his day. C&D winner in the past so, despite a poor run at Hamilton last time, he's worthy of consideration.

Form: 617240

Glamorous Breeze^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: C Mason| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Now below her last winning mark and was staying on well when third at Sandown last time. Previous C&D winner who can't be dismissed.

Form: 733733

Reigning Profit^v⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 71| D

9/1

Returned to his best to capitalise on a mark that had slipped in a 5--runner event at Hamilton. This is much tougher, particularly with the 5-lb penalty to shoulder.

Form: 662401

Apeeling¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

4/1

Better than ever when scoring at Windsor in June and back on track when third at Ascot last time. Not dismissed for all that others may be better treated.

Form: 52-3183

Ziggy's Queen^v1³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

22/1

Becoming well treated but seems to be going through the motions at present, so hard to fancy despite the first-time headgear.

Forecasts

Radio Goo Goo (4/1), Existent (4/1), Apeeling (4/1), Glamorous Breeze (9/2), Miss Attitude (9/2), Haymaker (6/1), Alligator Alley (6/1), Manila Scouse (7/1), Ventura Express (9/1), Reigning Profit (9/1), Star Of Lady M (12/1), Ziggy's Queen (22/1)

MISS ATTITUDE is yet to be reassessed for her second at Glorious Goodwood, meaning she's actually able to contest this off 2 lb lower, so she's marginally preferred to the bang-in-form Haymaker. Radio Goo Goo and Star of Lady M can both be relied upon to give their running.
