10/3

Won a Windsor handicap off 5 lb higher last summer and has performed respectably in Class 4 handicaps on all 4 outings this year. Should go well now taking a drop in grade.

Form: 47-4434

The Thunderer^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| D

It's now twelve runs since his last win. Ran well from his easing mark when fourth of 7 at Goodwood in June but hasn't built on that in 2 outings since.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Creditable ½-length second of 4 to Morcar in handicap at Lingfield in June but found out in a deeper race at Windsor since.

Maysong¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 68

9/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 746066

Rogue Raider^b1,h⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hobson| OR: 70

33/1

Fair form. Had soft ground as a possible excuse when a distant fourth in a 1¼m Leicester handicap in May. Subsequently sold from Peter Chapple-Hyam for 4,200 gns. Has first-time blinkers added to a refitted hood on yard debut. Likely best watched.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: C Johnston| OR: 69

13/8

AW maiden winner in May. Best effort in handicaps since when length second over C&D (good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Unlikely to be far away if showing up in similar form.

Forecasts

Reyaadah Star (13/8), Organic (2/1), Silver Gunn (10/3), Tribal Wisdom (7/2), The Thunderer (6/1), Maysong (9/1), Rogue Raider (33/1)

It's worth taking a chance on SILVER GUNN now dropping into a Class 5 handicap for the first time in over 3 years. 3-y-o fillies Reyaadah Star and Organic can give Marco Botti's charge most to do.
