Thursday¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: S Dow| OR: 54

10/3

Opened her account at Windsor (11.5f) in June before a good second here (11.6f) later that month. Not disgraced in finishing midfield both starts since and she's not out of things dropped back down in trip.

Form: 541267

Chico Dulce^t1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 53| BF| D

12/1

Winner here (10f, AW) in June and shaped as if still in form when fifth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (11f) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and claims if translating recent improvement on to the turf.

Hazel Bear¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J A Osborne| OR: 52

16/1

Maiden who went very close to bucking that trend at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Not in same form in 3 starts since, but may have needed first run for 5 months when sixth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 09-2786

Khangai^b,t²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M G Rimell| OR: 51| BF| D

11/4

One win from 24 Flat runs. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm, 15/8) 2 days ago. Not seen to very best effect then and he's certainly not dismissed from handy mark.

Form: 763436

Mon Etoile^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 56

6/1

Placed 3 times in handicaps at up to this trip earlier this year. Recent efforts have been tame however, last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Visor could well perk her up though, and booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye.

Laurentia³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: George Rooke| T: J E Long| OR: 47| BF| D

28/1

Made winning start for new yard on all-weather here in May. Ran no sort of race when last of 10 back here 5 weeks ago though, so bounce back called for switched back to turf.

Form: 657150

Kodiac Brave^v1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 45

125/1

Long-standing maiden in Hong Kong who has finished well held on 2 of his 3 starts since switching to these shores. Visor goes on now but he's hard to fancy.

Form: 599-040

Newfangled^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 53

11/4

Proving consistent in handicaps on turf before opening his account with a career-best display in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 21 days ago, leading over 1f out and keeping on. One of the likelier types here.

Form: 544431

Forecasts

Newfangled (11/4), Khangai (11/4), Thursday (10/3), Mon Etoile (6/1), Manila Mist (12/1), Chico Dulce (12/1), Hazel Bear (16/1), Laurentia (28/1), Kodiac Brave (125/1)

NEWFANGLED found some improvement when opening his account at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and, consistent on turf previously, he looks one of the likelier types here from a 2 lb higher mark. A first-time visor could spark a revival from Mon Etoile and she's one to note under Oisin Murphy. Khangai and Chico Dulce complete the shortlist.
