7/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap (15/2) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Step back up in trip in her favour.

11/2

Versatile performer who won twice on the AW in 2023 and opened account over jumps at Stratford in June. Rare turf outing back on the level but he can make his presence felt.

Unique Spirit^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 12/1) 22 days ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on and he may have a bigger performance in him.

5/2

10/3, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 4 days ago. Carries penalty and the one to beat in hat-trick bid if proving as effective on turf.

Veer²²

4/1

11/2, good second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 22 days ago, sticking to his task. Expected to be plugging on again with hood removed.

Forecasts

Standbackandlook (5/2), Rock N Roll Pinkie (7/2), Veer (4/1), Theonlywayiswessex (11/2), Cherry Cola (13/2), Lusaka (10/1), Tazaman (12/1), Unique Spirit (33/1)

STANDBACKANDLOOK has to prove that he's as effective on turf as the AW but if that proves to be the case, the hat-trick looks on the cards for this upwardly-mobile 3-y-o. Tazaman won a C&D handicap last summer from 1 lb higher so he has it in him to go close, with Veer expected to stick on for minor honours.
