Good Earth⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Herrington| OR: 76| CD

15/8

Has been given a big chance by the handicapper and has been better than recent form figures suggest, travelling well but poorly drawn when ninth in a competitive event at York in July and again not seen to best effect when third at Windsor last time. Big chance.

8/1

C&D winner who ran creditably from an easing mark when third at Yarmouth in June. However, reportedly bled when finishing last of 9 over C&D on most recent outing.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 71| D

6/1

Form took off on AW last winter, landing a 5f 4-timer at Wolverhampton in January. However, disappointed at Lingfield later that month and was never involved back on turf after 6 months off over C&D 36 days ago.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: W S Kittow| OR: 71| D

9/4

Good efforts when placed first 3 starts at Windsor this season but needs to cast aside a couple of lessor efforts since.

9/2

Showed improved form to resume winning ways at Beverley (5f) in May and back on track following a pair of lesser efforts returned to 5f when third at Newcastle last time. Steps up slightly in grade but respected nonetheless.

Forecasts

Good Earth (15/8), Spring Bloom (15/8), Coup De Force (9/4), Brummell (9/2), Diomed Spirit (6/1), Above (8/1)

GOOD EARTH has been shaping up well of late and gets the nod to take advantage of his much-reduced mark. Hat-trick seeker Spring Bloom is still well treated on the pick of last season's form and has to be feared, with 3-y-o Brummell also worthy of respect.
