9/4

Placed efforts in maidens and handicaps prior to getting off the mark when winning a 7-runner novice at this C&D (11/1) 13 days ago, leading at the line. Still lightly-raced and respected in bid to follow up back in handicap company.

Form: 62-2361

22/1

Won a 10f AW handicap in January but fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (4/1) 145 days ago, held up and making little impression. All three career wins have come on AW surfaces but remains on a fair mark back on turf if ready to roll after an absence.

Form: 533-615

10/3

Won at Brighton in May and ran well when third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7/2) 14 days ago, well positioned the way the race unfolded. Visor replaces blinkers and should give another good account back down in trip.

Faster Bee²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Remie Morgan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 54

10/1

Showed modest form since stable change, latest sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (16/1) 27 days ago. Up in trip with little prior encouragement at this sort of trip. Faces an uphill task to break his maiden.

Form: 375-776

Change Of Fortune³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 54| BF

11/2

Best effort of season to shed maiden status when winning a handicap at Ffos Las (1m, soft) but wasn't in the same form 8 days later when fourth of 8 in minor event at the same track (13/8). Has been given a short break and has solid claims if bouncing back to form.

15/2

C&D winner had been out of form in previous runs before returning to form when 2nd of 8 in a handicap at Chepstow (16/1) 45 days ago, only headed close home. Should be competitive if in the same heart here.

Form: 330-872

Bondi Man⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Cameron Hillhouse| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

18/1

Poor recent form, finishing sixth of 8 in a handicap at Chepstow (28/1) 6 days ago when never involved. Cheekpieces now removed but has something to prove from out of the handicap.

Form: 9/9-9376

Jack Andrea⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Henry Callan⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 55

5/1

Shown modest form in handicaps with several fifth-place finishes, finishing sixth of 10 at Leicester (4/1) over 10f 8 days ago when racing off the pace and never threatening. Needs to do more to capitalise on career-low handicap mark.

Forecasts

Saliko (9/4), Sea Of Charm (10/3), Jack Andrea (5/1), Change Of Fortune (11/2), Dogged (15/2), Faster Bee (10/1), Bass Player (14/1), Bondi Man (18/1), Major Major (22/1), Miaswell (25/1)

CHANGE OF FORTUNE turned in his best effort of the season when winning on soft ground at Ffos Las last month and possibly hadn't quite recovered from that success when disappointing at the same course 8 days later. He's taken to bounce back following a short break, with in-form Sea of Charm next best ahead of Bass Player, who ought to be more competitive back down in class.
