Eye Of The Water^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: R Harris| OR: 45| D

6/1

Veteran who is on a 21-race losing sequence, doing well to finish third of 8 in handicap at Bath over 8f (13/2) 9 days ago in a change of headgear given he stumbled badly. Should be a factor at his level.

Form: 9-53493

Fact Or Fable^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 48| CD

15/2

Won this race last year and has 4 course wins to his name. Fourth of 8 at Bath (12/1) 9 days ago, confirming return to form. Can go well again.

Hawajes¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| C

50/1

Last of 8 at Brighton (12/1) 17 days ago, slowly into stride and dropped away early. Comes with obvious risks attached given issues out of the stalls.

Form: 196698

Hellavapace^b⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: J G Portman| OR: 49| D

18/1

Turned in best effort of the season when second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7/1) 74 days ago, sent forward from poor draw. That form puts her right in the mix at this level.

Form: 03-6872

Marisitta^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45

16/1

Found only too good in a C&D handicap in June but could manage only seventh of 13 in handicap back here 14 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces in quest to break maiden status.

My Brother Mike¹³³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 50| D

4/1

Multiple winner on AW who won at Wolverhampton in February. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (13/2) 133 days ago, stayed on well after being forced to switch twice in the closing stages. Much depends on whether he can translate that to turf.

Form: 095175

Port Noir^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Fred Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 48| C

20/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow over 7f (17/2) 14 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Without a win in last 15 races.

Too Much Trevor⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 48

10/1

Unreliable performer who has never won but ran one of this season's better races when third of 5 in a 7f handicap here (10/3) 8 days ago. Not certain to be in the same mood.

Form: 267363

Vecchio¹³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S Dixon| OR: 47

Maiden after 19 starts, finishing last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (25/1) 135 days ago.

Scenario^p³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Jack Jones| OR: 49

9/2

Unexposed at this sort of level and opened account in 14-runner maiden at Lingfield (6/1) 3 days ago, well on top at finish. Has to command respect turned out quickly.

Form: 634541

Doctor Dauila^v1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 48

33/1

Showed improved form when second in handicap over C&D in May but ran below form when ninth of 12 at Thirsk (10/1) 10 days ago, fading 2f out. First-time visor applied.

Form: 997299

Lasswade¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 40

250/1

No form in five starts, most recently last of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (125/1) 15 days ago.

Form: 00-090

Time After Time³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 44

5/1

Shows little in six career starts and was fifth of 9 in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (28/1) 3 days ago, making late headway. Return to 1m could help as needs more emphasis on stamina.

Form: 0-80755

Westington House⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 46WS

16/1

Shown very little so far, 6th of 8 in maiden at Brighton (125/1) 87 days ago, never involved. Hopes rest on a breathing operation.

Forecasts

My Brother Mike (4/1), Scenario (9/2), Time After Time (5/1), Eye Of The Water (6/1), Fact Or Fable (15/2), Too Much Trevor (10/1), Marisitta (16/1), Westington House (16/1), Hellavapace (18/1), Port Noir (20/1), Vecchio (20/1), Doctor Dauila (33/1), Hawajes (50/1), Rohilla (50/1), Lasswade (250/1)

FACT OR FABLE won this race last year (one of 4 course wins) and confirmed his return to form when fourth at Bath 9 days ago. He makes as much appeal as any of these at this level. My Brother Mike is a huge threat on his AW form, while Hellavapace showed signs of revival when runner-up at Wolverhampton and she needs considering.
