13/8

Built on previous promise when getting off the mark at the 28th time of asking, winning an 8-runner handicap at this course (8f, soft) 8 days ago, suited by way race developed. That was by far his best effort of this season and he has solid claims of following up from the same mark over 10f.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 49

11/2

Turned in her best effort of the season to get off the mark when winning a 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, soft, 7/1) 23 days ago, rain softened conditions bringing her stamina into play. Should be competitive stepping back up in distance.

Form: 89-8471

Hiccups²⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: John Berry| OR: 47

14/1

Maiden but best effort to date came when runner-up over 14f at this track last season. Below form on two subsequent starts on testing ground and could find this test on the sharp side on first start for 9 months.

James Park Woods³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 48

28/1

Below form since winning over 1m at Brighton last September, ran poorly returned to that track (following 4 months off) when sixth of 7 in a handicap (9.9f, good) 31 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can find a spark now dropped in grade.

Form: 879-766

Jurality¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: P W Flynn| OR: 48

9/2

Maiden has dropped a long way in the weights but has shaped with credit in handicaps over 8f/9f this season. Arrives in form having finished fourth in a 1m Leopardstown handicap on soft ground 18 days ago. Interesting Irish raider should make an impact in this grade.

Spartan Times²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 45

9/2

Yet to better modest form on the Flat but showed improved form to get off the mark over hurdles when landing a weak 8-runner novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, soft) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Not ruled out on just his second turf outing on the Flat.

Beaune^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Aidan Keeley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 48

11/2

Has fallen on long way in the weights but looked worth persevering with at this trip when third over C&D in soft ground 8 days ago, for all it was something of a slow motion finish. Ought to be competitive again.

My Candy Girl^h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 39

100/1

Has shown little ability to date, again well beaten at long odds when sixth of 13 in minor event (100/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Hooded for first time and hard to be positive about her chances, unless the market hints an improved showing.

Forecasts

Change Of Fortune (13/8), Spartan Times (9/2), Jurality (9/2), Anticipating (11/2), Beaune (11/2), Helston Dance (10/1), Hiccups (14/1), James Park Woods (28/1), My Candy Girl (100/1)

CHANGE OF FORTUNE races from the same mark as when recording his first success over 1m here just 8 days ago and should have no problem with the step back up in trip. He can make it back-to-back victories at the expense of interesting Irish raider Jurality who arrives in form having hit the frame in a Leopardstown handicap last time, while recent Chepstow winner Anticipating shapes as though she'll appreciate the return to 1¼m.
