Yanifer²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 93| D

9/2

Likeable sort who added to a healthy strike rate when scoring at Chester in August and backed it up with a solid showing there later in the month. Acts on the ground and is likely to be on the premises.

Form: 375215

Son Of Man²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 92

18/1

Useful performer who stepped up markedly on his reappearance when second of 8 over 7f at Goodwood in June. Below form both outings since, leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam prior to latest.

Form: 35-0208

Spirit Genie^p,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 88| D

15/2

Has shown improved form this year, making it back-to-back wins when getting up late to score over 7f here in May. Has held form since but others look better treated.

Lexington Belle^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 89| D

10/1

12/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Arrives at the top of her game and should be on the premises again if there's not too much pressure for the lead.

Quest For Fun^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| BF| D

7/2

Has returned to form lately and was right on his game when runner-up in testing conditions at Chester last time. This could pan out nicely and he's worth a chance to go one better.

Thunder Roar⁶⁰

7/2

Eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 60 days ago. Out of sorts when last seen and, while freshened up from a break/others make more appeal.

Form: 1-32398

King's Vanity^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 80| D

9/2

Free goer who seemed to relish the testing conditions when making all readily at Ffos Las a month ago. Faces similar ground and is expected to go well again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Herrington| OR: 80| D

11/1

Resumed winning ways at York in May and backed it up with a very good second of 16 there following month. Didn't fire at Sandwon last time, however.

Forecasts

Media Shooter (10/3), Thunder Roar (7/2), Quest For Fun (7/2), King's Vanity (9/2), Yanifer (9/2), Spirit Genie (15/2), Lexington Belle (10/1), Feel The Need (11/1), Son Of Man (18/1), Supaspecialawesome (80/1)

QUEST FOR FUN looks back to his best and is on a fair mark, so he's taken to get the better of last-time-out winners Lexington Belle and King's Vanity, who may take each other on for the lead.
