12/1

Ran one of his better races in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Goodwood (14f, soft) 28 days ago. Possibilities if backing that up.

Form: 8-87905

C'mon Kenny^v1⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: Ian Williams| OR: 71

8/1

Proved better than ever back with former trainer when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (15.9f, heavy, 11/2) 8 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Could go well again.

Form: 412301

Oman^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

25/1

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in May. Respectable efforts next 2 outings and shaped as if needing the run after 3 months off back here last week.

Form: 69-1237

Samatian^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 67

66/1

Poor hurdler who ran to a modest level when seventh of in 14-runner novice at Southwell (12.1f, 200/1) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Big step forward required.

Form: 087

(9)

Tailorman^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

9/1

Attracted plenty of support and finally came good in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm) last month, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Ran at least as well in defeat under a penalty at this course since, despite being caught further back than ideal, and remains of interest.

Form: 286213

Rock N Roll Pinkie³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| D

25/1

Bounced back to form to double her tally at Nottingham in June but looked temperamental when well held back there last month. Others preferred.

11/10

Resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Epsom (12f, soft, 6/4) 9 days ago, kept up to work. Still unexposed for current yard.

Sophar Sogood^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: J Butler| OR: 59| CD

66/1

C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet in ready fashion in 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 2/1) 38 days ago. Remains well treated on old form.

Form: 0-00421

(10)

Bollin Neil^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

100/1

Fair handicapper who probably needed the run after 19 months off (from jumps) when eighth of 10 at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 66/1) 17 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 58682/8

12/1

Forecasts

Small Fry (11/10), Dreams Adozen (7/1), Percy Jones (15/2), Corsican Caper (8/1), Yosemite Gold (8/1), Tailorman (9/1), Surrey Force (12/1), Gooloogong (12/1), Oman (25/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (25/1), V Power (25/1), C'mon Kenny (33/1), Samatian (66/1), Sophar Sogood (66/1), Bollin Neil (100/1)

PERCY JONES is down to a good mark and was beaten only by a 3-y-o improver at Bath on his most recent outing, so he's put forward as the tentative selection in a competitive race. Tailorman ran another good race when third here 3 weeks ago, despite being caught further back than ideal, and seems likely to go well again, while Small Fry remains unexposed for his current yard and completes the shortlist.
