Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Posted a career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap (good) in June. Ran with credit off 5 lb higher when fourth of 10 at Newmarket since. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S De Sousa| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| D

10/1

Made a winning reappearance at Bath in May but has gone backwards in 3 outings since. First-time cheekpieces need to help spark a revival.

Form: 51-1758

9/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024 but is on his lowest mark for a couple of years and he was better than the result when third of 4 at Salisbury last time. Visor back on. Enters calculations.

15/2

Back down to last winning mark and shaped well back from 10 weeks off when ¾-length fourth of 7 to the reopposing Honour Your Dreams in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good) 16 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Could be spot on now.

50/1, ninth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 19 days ago. Starting to look well handicapped but need to see more before lending support.

Silver Wraith^t1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 71| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Tongue strap first time. Less exposed than most of these and Oisin Murphy rides

Form: 4-7624

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: P Crate| OR: 68

28/1

Much better for reappearance when neck second of 8 in a 5f Lingfield turf handicap in May and there have been possible excuses for his pair of down-the-field efforts since.

Forecasts

Silver Wraith (3/1), Jenever (3/1), Good Earth (4/1), Cloud King (15/2), Blind Beggar (9/1), Tourist (10/1), Dapper Valley (12/1), Honour Your Dreams (20/1), Sandscreendeliverd (28/1)

CLOUD KING is back on a winning mark and given a chance to build on a quite encouraging return from a break at Lingfield 16 days ago. Jenever is respected back at the scene of his win in June, while Silver Wraith is an unexposed 3-y-o who has the services of Oisin Murphy.
