Arenas Del Tiempo¹¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: J & S Best| OR: 65

8/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Showed ability on 2 of 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles since joining new yard but all 3 of her career victories on the Flat have come over shorter.

Snapius^p⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 64

5/1

Flat/hurdles winner who has been struggling for form under both codes in recent months for James Nash in Ireland. However, joined a yard building up a good record with new recruits, so market confidence behind him would look significant. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 9-90079

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Poulton| OR: 63| D

28/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. 40/1, last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago, racing well off the pace and beaten under 3f out. Given a chance by the handicapper but recent efforts have hardly been inspiring.

Form: 516096

Bluenose Belle^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R T Phillips| OR: 63

7/1

Well-beaten first 2 starts back this season but bounced back to form when second of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 14 days ago, no match for a steadily improving 3-y-o. Capable of playing a part now she's back on track.

Form: 268-002

(8)

Raven's Applause¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 62

14/1

Seventh of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago, ridden over 2f out and not quicken. Marked step up in trip needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 60-0P07

Beat The Heat^p⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 60| D

40/1

Dual purpose performer who added to his tally on the Flat at Bath (14f) last summer and back on the scoresheet over hurdles (in first-time visor) at Fontwell (19f) in June. Disappointing when pulled up at Worcester (20f) later that month and he's tough to assess back on the level.

Form: 9/8261-0

Luna Effect²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

8/1

Fair maiden for Roger Varian (stays 12f) who has yet to make a significant impact in 2 starts for new yard (changed hands for 29,000 gns), latterly when last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 28 days ago. Still, too soon to be writing him off.

Form: 3-22358

(3)

The Pug^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: S Kirk| OR: 59| C

6/1

Unreliable type who has an inconsistent profile but on a going day when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 7 days ago, well positioned. Capable of making an impact if lining up in same form.

Form: 387502

(5)

The Colorist^p1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: K Jewell| OR: 57

7/4

Lightly-raced maiden who ran well when runner-up over 10f here in June and ran respectably without being seen to best effect when fifth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (12f) 28 days ago. Not one to dismiss out of hand at this sort of trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts

The Colorist (7/4), Snapius (5/1), The Pug (6/1), Bluenose Belle (7/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (8/1), Luna Effect (8/1), Star Of Epsom (8/1), Upepo (10/1), Raven's Applause (14/1), Pablo Prince (16/1), Militry Decoration (28/1), Beat The Heat (40/1)

BLUENOSE BELLE left a string of disappointing efforts in her wake when runner-up at Kempton last month, beaten only by a steadily improving 3-y-o. She's given the tentative vote to go one place better. The Colorist may yet have more to offer at this trip and is feared along with The Pug. Snapius and Luna Effect are others who need keeping an eye on.
