Has scored twice at Brighton this month but he's not one to rely on and came in only sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 4 days ago. Others remain more persuasive.

Yet to score in 2024 but he arrives in good form, fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 5/1) 42 days ago. In the mix once more with a hood back on.

Resumed winning ways at Bath in May and largely in good nick since, cheekpieces on when a hampered eighth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Scored at Bath in April for Alice Haynes and made a solid start for his new yard when fourth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Bagged third win of year at Epsom (10.1f) last month. Not in same form at Kempton and Newbury since though and remains on career-high mark now.

Made a winning debut at Chantilly (8f, heavy) in March but hasn't been able to repeat that effort, last of eight at Epsom (8.5f) last time. Blinkered for the first time here.

Still a maiden but he comes here in decent form, sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 6/1) 29 days ago. Can give another good account off an easing mark.

Fafiled to win for Richard Hannon and he came in last of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 17 days ago for his new yard. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Lightly-raced in 2024 and posted a very good second of 10 in handicap (16/5) at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Very much one to consider despite a 2 lb weights rise.

Bagged his third victory of 2024 at Brighton in August and recorded another good effort when second of 9 there (9.9f, heavy) 15 days ago. Winner has gone in again so he's expected to be bang there.

Landed 10f handicaps at Leicester and Brighton but possibly found the run coming too quickly when fifth of 9 back at Brighton 15 days ago. Worth another chance.

Failed to build on earlier promise when only fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 17 days ago. More is required if he's to open his account.

Forecasts

Midsummer Music (11/2), Jack Sparowe (11/2), Chourmo (13/2), Astronomica (13/2), Imperial Cult (8/1), Swatch (8/1), Little Tiger (10/1), Phone Tag (11/1), Blue Collar (14/1), Marsh Benham (14/1), Moonlit Cloud (18/1), Ataser (22/1), Saachi (22/1), Foreseen (33/1)

Verdict

CHOURMO comes here at the top of his game and, with the form of his recent Brighton second having been franked, he looks the way to go. Astronomica signalled he is ready to go close though when runner-up at Leicester last time out so rates a big threat, while Little Tiger, Midsummer Music, Swatch and Moonlit Cloud all command respect too in this competitive handicap.

  1. Chourmo13/2
  2. Astronomica13/2
  3. Little Tiger10/1
