Banksman¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 59| BF

11/4

Won twice at a mile on turf in June, showing much improved form. Finished second of 4 in handicap at Brighton (11/10) 17 days ago, travelled well but held by winner in final furlong. Dropping to 7f today but should remain competitive.

Form: 462112

Toby's Time^h³¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58

On A Vespa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 55

5/2

Still a maiden after 6 starts with a promising third of 13 at Salisbury before finishing fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) (4/1) 13 days ago when meeting trouble in running. Respected.

Form: 950-835

Miakoda^t,v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 55| D

10/3

Ran creditably when reverting to front-running tactics over 7f at Doncaster 26 days ago. Second of 9 in handicap over 6f at this course (13/2) 18 days ago, requiring stoking up but finishing well with first-time visor. Should be well suited by return to 7f.

Form: 159642

Blue Point Express³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 53

16/1

Yet to win in 6 starts with poor form since stable switch and tenth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (33/1) 31 days ago, failing to come on for recent run. Unproven at this 7f trip.

Form: 5635-60

Oldbury Lad^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 47

17/2

Ran well when second of 13 at Salisbury (12/1) 31 days ago but finished fifth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (5/1) 18 days ago, hanging left with no extra. Return to 7f could suit.

Form: 9-65325

Mighty Real^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: H Morrison| OR: 47

6/1

Eye-catching third of 8 at Leicester (12/1) 27 days ago, improved in first-time tongue strap. May be suited by dropping back to 6f returned to handicap now. Interesting.

Form: 689-73

Forecasts

On A Vespa (5/2), Banksman (11/4), Miakoda (10/3), Mighty Real (6/1), Oldbury Lad (17/2), Blue Point Express (16/1), Toby's Time (20/1)

MIAKODA ran creditably when second at this course 18 days ago, finishing well with first-time visor, and should be well suited by a return to 7f. Banksman won twice at a mile in June and remains competitive. On A Vespa is worth another try at this trip after meeting trouble in running last time.
