Red Force One^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 61| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in June. 4/1, last of 8 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, possibly amiss. Definite chance if able to put that inauspicious display behind him.

Form: 631118

King Of Unicorns^p1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 57

12/1

9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and down to a good mark but he's 0-10 on the Flat and is probably worth taking on.

Form: 3/53-606

Gift Of Raaj²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 33/1) 20 days ago, well positioned. That effort represented a welcome stap back in the right direction and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 710-004

Grifter^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J Garritty| T: J Candlish| OR: 54

33/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Visor back on and this 5-y-o has a fair bit to prove at present.

Form: 48-4480

(9)

Carlton^v1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 52

12/1

Last of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (16f, good to firm) 18 days ago. 0-12 on turf and will need to find something extra in a first-time visor if he's to deliver here.

Form: 085367

A Shining Moon^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 51

33/1

Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 11 days ago, left with too much to do. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces back on.

Form: 55-0608

Ski Jump³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 50

15/2

Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 8/1) 36 days ago, no match for winner. One of the more appealing candidates.

Form: 863-632

(11)

Greenlightforgo³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good, 33/1) 38 days ago. Needs to raise his game.

Form: 94755

(3)

Grey Nyle^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 59

11/1

Last of 4 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 9/2) 17 days ago. Will need to find some improvement in the first-time blinkers if he's to open his account here.

Form: 5-65544

(5)

Unregulated^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 0487

Sweet Painted Lady^h⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 57

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 6477

Apostle²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 56

11/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in novice (50/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Like many from this yard, she could be about to take a big step forward now upped significantly in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 956

Forecasts

Apostle (11/8), Red Force One (6/1), Ski Jump (15/2), Greenlightforgo (10/1), Grey Nyle (11/1), King Of Unicorns (12/1), Carlton (12/1), Gift Of Raaj (16/1), Unregulated (18/1), Sweet Painted Lady (28/1), Grifter (33/1), A Shining Moon (33/1)

The majority of these look exposed but APOSTLE is the glaring exception. Indeed, it's no secret that Sir Mark Prescott-trained 3-y-os tend to take a big step forward when moving up in trip for their handicap debuts and this well-bred filly can be expected to do just that, particularly if there's confidence behind her in the betting. Ski Jump has put in pretty good shifts the last twice and he gets the nod ahead of Gift of Raaj for forecast purposes.
