Whiteley Way¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 62

17/2

Found run of good form coming to a halt when eighth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Kempton (6f) when last seen 5 months ago. Back on turf and the likelihood is she'll need this.

Form: 280-238

Apache Star⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| CD

7/1

C&D winner last year but struggling for form at present, fifth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark but needs to show more.

Media Guest^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: L P Keniry| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 58| CD

15/2

C&D winner in July. Again ran below that level when fifth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly returned to this venue.

Snow Berry^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 56| C| D

9/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 15/2, unable to land the hat-trick but remained in good order when second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 22 days ago, conceding first run. Remains of interest at this level.

Vaunted²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 51| C| D

9/4

Course winner. 7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good) 9 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty. Unseated rider leaving the stalls at the same venue on Monday so fancied to put that behind her.

Form: 67231U

Johnny Johnson²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: B R Millman| OR: 56

22/1

5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Headgear left off and more needed to register a first success.

Form: 744436

Bedford House¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

12/1

Ran to just a poor level when fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 16 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy.

Form: 908-055

Fishermans Cottage³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M S Saunders| OR: 45

18/1

9/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) when last seen 11 months ago. Marginally out of the weights and will probably need this run.

Forecasts

Vaunted (9/4), Some Nightmare (10/3), Apache Star (7/1), Media Guest (15/2), Whiteley Way (17/2), Snow Berry (9/1), Impeach (10/1), Bedford House (12/1), Fishermans Cottage (18/1), Johnny Johnson (22/1)

VAUNTED came home in front having unseated her rider at the start at Chepstow on Monday so Adrian Wintle's 5-y-o can make amends at the expense of Media Guest, who scored over C&D in July and can get back on track returned to this venue. Some Nightmare is a strong contender if turned out again quickly.
