Classic Speed⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 60| CD

6/1

Opened account over C&D in March. Hasn't quite been able to match that level since, fifth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 48 days ago, but he's not discounted at this venue.

Form: 851855

Arika¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 60

11/2

Followed a respectable effort with a below-par one when fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 12 days ago. However, he's capable of getting involved as he drops in grade.

Form: 463545

Pessoa¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 58

20/1

All 4 career victories at Wolverhampton, with latest success in January. Mixed form since, though, never involved when seventh of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Form: 253907

Dubai Harbour⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 58

100/1

No better than mid-division in his 4 starts so far, offering little on handicap debut when eighth of 11 at Lingfield (8f, AW, 80/1) 41 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 7-788

Windsor Pass¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 58

7/4

Remains a maiden but caught the eye when fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 15 days ago, left with lot to do. Has eased further in the weights and she could be ready to take advantage.

Form: 4-96434

Imola³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 60

6/1

In first-time blinkers (left off this time), bounced back a lesser effort when second of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 30 days ago, clear of rest. One to note on first run since leaving Darryll Holland.

Cuban Harry⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 60

15/2

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate start and backed up that effort when fourth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at the same C&D 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations in his current form.

Form: 064914

No News²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 56| C

33/1

Made it back-to-back course wins (both at 7f) when successful in January. Below-par effort when seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/3) 22 days ago, but he could fare better returned to this track.

Form: 789737

Glencalvie¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| D

80/1

Gained a second career success when scoring at Yarmouth in April. However, has finished down the field both starts for current yard, tenth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 25/1) 16 days ago.

Form: 610450

This Time Maybe²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 58

40/1

Hasn't made much impact in a trio of handicap starts this season, fifth of 8 at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 3 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 207-985

(2)

Roody Toody^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: R T Phillips| OR: 58

125/1

Remains with little solid form, faring no better in first-time hood and cheekpieces when last of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Step up in trip not enough to tempt.

Form: 9880-70

Marchetti¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J C Fox| OR: 54| C

5/1

Course winner who doubled her tally at Chepstow in May. Has run well on her last 3 starts, second of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago, and she could be thereabouts once more.

Forecasts

Windsor Pass (7/4), Marchetti (5/1), Arika (11/2), Classic Speed (6/1), Imola (6/1), Cuban Harry (15/2), Loose Tongue (14/1), Pessoa (20/1), No News (33/1), This Time Maybe (40/1), Glencalvie (80/1), Dubai Harbour (100/1), Roody Toody (125/1)

WINDSOR PASS has been shaping up well from her falling mark, again making the frame at Newcastle last time despite having been left poorly placed, so she is taken to open her account as she drops in grade. Cuban Harry also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, ahead of Marchetti.
