4/1

Course winner in August. 5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap back here (5.1f) 14 days ago. Return to this trip may help and he's a live each-way contender.

Kitten Gloves^p,t⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 63

9/1

11/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at this course (7.2f). Off 93 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 25234-7

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: H Kobeissi| OR: 62

10/3

Winner at Windsor in May. Seventh of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good) 27 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Impeach^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 62| D

11/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good, 6/1) 42 days ago. Salisbury near miss prior to that was his best effort of the season so far, and he'd have a chance if able to reproduce that form here.

A Pint Of Bear^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: S Dixon| OR: 61| C| D

18/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. 7/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 20 days ago. Down another 2 lb and he'll be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Melisende^p,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: A J Farragher| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 63| D

15/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 7 days ago, slowly away. This 3 lb higher mark should be manageable and she's a key contender.

Form: 5-25781

Galel¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Butler| OR: 61

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in maiden at Cork (5f, heavy, 66/1). Off 175 days and steps up in trip for this handicap/yard debut.

Form: 69-0

Alafdhal¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 59| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Last of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 507985

Kensington Agent³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Won 12-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 33 days ago. Definite chance of going in again up 4 lb if able to back that effort up.

Form: 868571

May Remain¹⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 54| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (9/1) here when last seen 175 days. Others are more persuasive. Yard also represented by Koji.

Inspired Knowhow (10/3), Phoenix Beach (4/1), Kensington Agent (5/1), Melisende (15/2), Kitten Gloves (9/1), Impeach (11/1), Galel (12/1), Alafdhal (14/1), A Pint Of Bear (18/1), Koji (20/1), May Remain (33/1)

Last-time-out winners MELISENDE and Kensington Agent may well come to the fore here, with marginal preference for the 3-y-o. She did the job well when opening her account in this headgear combination at Lingfield last weekend and there could be more to come now that connections have seemingly found the key to her. A Pint of Bear and Phoenix Beach can do battle for minor honours.
