Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

12/1

Ninth of 11 in classified race at Wolverhampton (16/1) 99 days ago, displaying typical slow starting issues. Back from a break and others safer propositions.

Form: 319669

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47| D

Best recent effort when third at Chepstow over this trip before finishing last of 6 at this course (25/1) 14 days ago, when upped to 11.9f. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 697836

Semser^b1¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 50

13/2

Unreliable performer who hasn't won in 17 races though did go close when neck second at Chelmsford (10f) last October. Fifth of 11 in 10f handicap at Lingfield (8/1) 19 days ago wasn't devoid of promise but he's no banker to build on that. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 65526-5

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 48

15/2

Form has deteriorated this season with no better than sixth place in last five starts. Seventh of 9 in classified company at Lingfield (3/1) 19 days ago, again running below form.

United Force⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hobson| OR: 49| D

11/2

After a creditable third at Southwell (AW), finished 7th of 10 back on turf at Yarmouth (10/1) 40 days ago, ridden wide and weakening late. Needs to cast that effort aside.

Form: 1-76837

Aim For The Bull^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 50

9/2

In the frame in all starts this year, including when second of 8 in 7f AW handicap at Chelmsford in May. Fourth of 8 in 7f handicap at Yarmouth (13/2) 27 days ago, sticking to his task as though worth a try over this trip.

Form: 37-4244

Lambournghini¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Leavy| T: P D Evans| OR: 50

15/8

Upped her game when breaking duck in 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (4/1) 15 days ago, responding well when challenged in the final furlong. Looks capable of following up after that career-best performance.

Form: 870241

Mount Of Gold^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 40

40/1

Continues to show little, finishing fifth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (12/1) 10 days ago, pulling hard and dropping away.

Form: 95-6765

Forecasts

Lambournghini (15/8), Aim For The Bull (9/2), United Force (11/2), Semser (13/2), Shot Of Love (15/2), Headshot (11/1), Hawajes (12/1), Mount Of Gold (40/1)

LAMBOURNGHINI showed improved form when making her second handicap start a winning one at Chepstow, responding well. Progressive at this lowly level, she looks capable of following up at the expense of Semser, who tries first-time blinkers. Aim For The Bull is consistently in the frame this year so also needs considering.
