Fascinating Lips^p⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 55| BF

13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 61 days ago. Down another 2 lb and acts on slow ground, so there are reasons to be optimistic.

Form: 092946

Fighting Poet^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R T Phillips| OR: 53| CD

7/2

15/2, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 20 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb rise fair enough and likely to be in the mix, providing conditions are suitable (unproven on going slower than good to soft).

Form: 07-5721

Fen Tiger⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 53| BF| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/4) 8 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

The Conqueror^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J R Boyle| OR: 52| C| D

15/2

Latest win here in May. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, firm, 9/4) 37 days ago. Ground softer than good would be cause for concern.

Cloudy Rose²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher| T: John Berry| OR: 50| CD

11/2

Three-time C&D winner, the latest of which was in April this year. 14/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good) 25 days ago. Back down in trip and she's one to consider.

Irezumi⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 50| BF| C

10/1

Winner here in August (sole success from 22 starts). Fourth of 5 in handicap (15/8) at this course (9.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Big Jimbo^v⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48| D

16/1

Last of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 54 days ago, slowly away. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 24-0658

Duveen⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 66/1, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) on latest start in June. Something to find on form.

Form: 455608

(8)

Daidalos^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 50

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, soft, 22/1) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 6-776

(7)

Innisfree Pearl^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: T E Whelan| T: T Ward| OR: 49

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, very good third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, soft) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Will be a threat if able to build on that much-improved effort here.

Forecasts

Fighting Poet (7/2), Fen Tiger (9/2), Cloudy Rose (11/2), Fascinating Lips (13/2), Innisfree Pearl (15/2), The Conqueror (15/2), Irezumi (10/1), Daidalos (14/1), Big Jimbo (16/1), Duveen (50/1)

Though FASCINATING LIPS has failed to reproduce the form of June's Windsor near-miss in three subsequent appearances, he is on a tempting mark and will have every chance if able to bounce back. Cloudy Rose goes well here and she is second choice ahead of Innisfree Pearl, who will have claims if able to build on her handicap debut third, and recent C&D scorer Fighting Poet.
