Toca Madera¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: B J Meehan| OR: 94| D

8/1

Placed twice in pattern company as a juvenile and left opening exploits this term in her wake when a solid third in 16-runner Goodwood handicap (5f) 2 weeks ago, staying on final 1f. Task is to back that up now returned to 6f but definite claims if doing so.

Form: 033-003

Kiwano¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: George Baker| OR: 90| D

14/1

Consistency not his strong suit but capitalised on drop in grade when running out a 66/1 winner at Yarmouth (6f) in July. Ran some way below that level when sixth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago and others preferred back up in trip.

Form: 168016

Haymaker³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: H Morrison| OR: 89| CD

9/4

Dual winner of handicaps earlier this season prior to solid placed efforts next 2 starts. Latest run in C&D class 2 event on Monday can be overlooked and he's a likely type to bounce back quickly from a handy draw.

Form: 211230

Intervention^h,p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 84| D

14/1

Losing run is mounting up but was noted doing his best work at the finish back at this trip when fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (5f) 11 days ago. Hood goes back on and likely he can give another good account.

Eminency^v1,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 83| BF| CD

9/2

Plenty of good efforts without getting his nose in front in handicaps, shaping as if still in good form back on ground softer than good when third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f) 7 days ago. Has a race in him from this sort of mark and visor could put an extra edge on him.

Rock Opera¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81| D

17/2

Resumed winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June and with his next effort easily overlooked, he ran right up to his best when third of 14 in handicap at York (6f) 3 weeks ago, faring best of those drawn high. Very much of interest up 1 lb.

Regal Envoy^p1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: W J Knight| OR: 79| D

33/1

Won twice last year and has added further victories at Lingfield/Salisbury (both 6f) this term. Below par last 3 starts, though, and will need more to defy current mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Chief Mankato¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Channon| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Debut winner of a C&D novice as a 2-y-o. Mixed bag since but he did shape well in the end on debut for new yard when staying on for sixth of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (5f) 2 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and likely he has a bigger effort in his locker.

Form: 190-406

(2)

Capote's Dream^v,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: S Hitchcott| T: T Ward| OR: 73| CD

25/1

Three-time C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Visor replaces blinkers and he ought to be competitive from this mark.

Form: 6-20958

Forecasts

Haymaker (9/4), Chief Mankato (3/1), Katey Kontent (4/1), Eminency (9/2), Toca Madera (8/1), Rock Opera (17/2), Intervention (14/1), Kiwano (14/1), Capote's Dream (25/1), Regal Envoy (33/1)

EMINENCY ran creditably whilst possibly finding the rain-softened ground against him when third at Chepstow 7 days ago and, appealing as being on a workable mark, he could be worth chancing with connections now opting for a first-time visor. Katey Kontent and Rock Opera are others to consider, as is Toca Madera with a repeat of his latest Goodwood third.
