11/2
Returned to winning ways in 4-runner apprentice handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) under Joe Bradnam last month. Not in the same form on softer ground at Epsom the following week and others preferred from what is now a career-high mark.

C&D winner. Back to winning ways in a small field at Lingfield (1¼m, good to firm) in June but down the field on both outings since. Bounce back needed.

Multiple AW winner who notched a first success on turf in 1¼m Sandown handicap 24 days ago. Should remain very competitive up 3 lb.

13/8
Ended his 2-y-o campaign with a win at Leicester (first-time cheekpieces). Bettered that form when second on his C&D reappearance in July and he wasn't disgraced in a stronger race at Sandown 11 days ago. Visored first time. Should go well.

5/2
Progressive filly who made it 4-6 in handicaps when just kept up to her work to see off 7 rivals at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 25 days ago. She's another 8 lb higher here but it may not stop her.

Forecasts

Royal Blaze (13/8), Niloufar (5/2), Blueflagflyinghigh (11/2), Morcar (13/2), Party Island (7/1)

Verdict

NILOUFAR won comfortably under Millie Wonnacott at Newbury last time and may be able to defy the handicapper yet again. The main threat may come from fellow 3-y-o Royal Blaze, who ran well here on his reappearance and also won on the previous occasion he wore headgear.
