Hosaamm^p1⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 92| D

8/1

Lightly-raced sort who scored at Newbury in May. Last of 8 on his handicap debut here (12f, good) 43 days ago though so needs to bounce back with cheekpieces added.

Form: 3-128

(11)

Voyage²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 90| D

6/1

Debut novice winner at Newbury in April. Highly tried after and he got back on track when third of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 21 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 1U073

(5)

Rhetorical⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| BF| D

7/2

Made a winning start at Newbury in May but he failed to go on as expected when sixth of 13 in novice (evens) at Kempton (12f) 59 days ago. Remains with potential though on his handicap debut.

Form: 126

(8)

Hot Fuss^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 88

8/1

Winless this term but he posted an excellent second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 14 days ago. Big shout nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 2-44972

Palace Green³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Hughes| OR: 88| D

15/2

Winner at Kempton in April and has continued in good nick, sixth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Can make his presence felt off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 35-1366

(7)

Whiskey Pete⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 86| BF

9/2

Arrives in decent nick, fourth of 15 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 31-P754

(12)

Brioni³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: A King| OR: 86

10/3

Resumed with a win at Kempton in April and mainly in good order since, second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Can go well again despite a 3 lb rise.

Form: 2-12072

(9)

Rapid Mission^h1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 84

80/1

50/1, sole run for Syd Hosie when sixth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, firm) 36 days ago. Lots more is needed with a hood added for his new stable.

Form: 323-516

(2)

Savvy Exchange⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: S Woods| OR: 79

25/1

Got himself back on the up when second of 5 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 48 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Very much one to consider.

Form: 2-1572

Forecasts

Brioni (10/3), Rhetorical (7/2), Whiskey Pete (9/2), Voyage (6/1), More Thunder (7/1), Celtic Warrior (7/1), Palace Green (15/2), Hot Fuss (8/1), Hosaamm (8/1), Lautrec (10/1), Savvy Exchange (25/1), Rapid Mission (80/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but Tom Dascombe's HOT FUSS looks the way off just a 1 lb higher mark for his excellent recent Goodwood second. Savvy Exchange is feared most on the back of his eye-catching Redcar second, with Brioni and More Thunder also well in the mix.
