Royal Dream^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72

15/2

Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. 12/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 29 days ago, keeping on until final 1f. Expected to give another good account.

Form: 813335

Pure Of Heart^p,t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: J P Spencer| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 72

8/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 9 days ago, readily. May do better still and she's respected turned out quickly under a penalty.

Form: 526451

Jack Sparowe¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 71| CD

5/1

C&D winner who returned to form when fourth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago, deserving of extra credit in coming from the rear in a steadily-run affair. One to bear in mind again on the back of that.

Form: 35-5894

Just An Hour^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: H Crouch| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| BF

17/2

Yet to get his head but he again ran creditably despite meeting with some trouble when third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good) 15 days ago. Mark has come down plenty and he's one to bear in mind.

Form: 478643

(5)

Latin Verse¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 70

33/1

Fair Flat winner who tasted success twice over hurdles last season and finished good second at Musselburgh (17.4f) in April (final start for Syd Hosie). Still unexposed on artificial surfaces ahead of return having been re-united with former yard. Market should guide.

Form: 157367-

Tortured Soul¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| C| D

33/1

Real success story upon joining present yard last winter, winning 6 times at up to 12f. 11/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) when last seen in April and he appeals as the type who can pay his way back on all-weather in the coming months.

Form: 111563

The Glen Rovers¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jonny Peate| T: L Wadham| OR: 66| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Winner at Newcastle in July. 2/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, soft) 15 days ago, underfoot conditions possibly catching him out. Feasible to think he could have more to offer back on an artificial surface and he's unexposed at this trip.

Form: 06616

Baroque Buoy²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 71

5/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago by 2½ lengths from Orbital, well on top finish. Rider's claim off-sets his rise in weights and another holding claims for in-form yard.

Form: 221631

Orbital⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 69| BF

5/2

Doubled her tally at Lingfield (10f) in July and ran well both starts since, second of 7 in handicap back at venue (12f) 6 days ago. Ease back down in trip will hold no fears and she can be expected to feature again.

Form: 157122

Rogue Raider^b,h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hobson| OR: 65

200/1

Displayed fair form around the turn of the year but let go cheaply from Peter Chapple-Hyam and finished well held last of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 33/1) 35 days ago. Has it to prove at present.

Form: 365346

Forecasts

Orbital (5/2), Jack Sparowe (5/1), Baroque Buoy (5/1), The Glen Rovers (13/2), Royal Dream (15/2), Pure Of Heart (8/1), Just An Hour (17/2), Latin Verse (33/1), Tortured Soul (33/1), Rogue Raider (200/1)

Twice a winner on all-weather this summer, ORBITAL arrives on the back of a good second at Lingfield (12f) 6 days ago and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears, she edges the vote to get back to winning ways. Last-time-out winners Baroque Buoy and Pure of Heart are others to consider.
