Cosmic Soul^t1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 62

22/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap (50/1) at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 18 days ago, barely adequate test. Tongue strap on 1st time and would have a chance if back to something like his best.

Form: 552-804

Morandi Second^b,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: P Neville| OR: 60

18/1

12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) on UK Flat debut 7 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 04553/5

Sonning¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: D Brooke| OR: 60

6/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip and merits consideration off this reduced mark.

Form: 770436

Greenlightforgo²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

11/2

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm, 7/2) 21 days ago and he essentially looks vulnerable.

Form: 475536

Marmalade Lady^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: H Morrison| OR: 57| BF

5/2

Winner at Chepstow in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, heavy, 15/8) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 8-31442

Normandy Vista⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 56| BF

11/2

Creditable third of 7 in handicap (15/8) at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Stepping back up in trip here will be no bad thing and he should be in the mix.

Form: 667623

Bamboo Bay⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47

5/2

Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, heavy, 6/1) 4 days ago. Live each-way contender.

Form: 8-64234

Crafty Dancer⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Gray| T: K Scott| OR: 45

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good, 250/1) 73 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and huge step forward needed.

Form: 067

Forecasts

Bamboo Bay (5/2), Marmalade Lady (5/2), Normandy Vista (11/2), Greenlightforgo (11/2), Sonning (6/1), Morandi Second (18/1), Cosmic Soul (22/1), Crafty Dancer (125/1)

The vote goes to MARMALADE LADY, who pulled a country mile clear of the rest when chasing home the in-form Three Dons (winner again since) at Ffos Las last month. She is now 1 lb lower and makes plenty of appeal back on faster ground. Sonning has dipped to an attractive mark and may emerge as the main threat ahead of Normandy Vista and Bamboo Bay.
