Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 86| CD

50/1

C&D winner on debut for current connections but has been out of sorts on Flat and over hurdles most recently. Tried in a change of headgear but remains with something to prove.

Form: 1006-90

Odin Legacy^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 84| D

10/1

Is in fine heart, 3 wins from his last 6 starts and as good as ever when third of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Newbury (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Should hold his own up in grade.

Form: 141213

Way Of Life³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| D

22/1

Better record on the all-weather but has proven himself effective on turf. Wasn't disgraced when respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 30 days ago. On a fair mark if he can produce something like his best back on turf.

Form: 741247

Beylerbeyi^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 80| D

9/4

Won 4 times over shorter in 2024 but has been reinvented as a middle-distance horse of late, resuming winnings ways when landing a 9-runner handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, showing plenty of stamina despite being suited by way race developed. Not ruled out if this is run to suit.

Form: 1-06031

Mrs Twig²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 80| CD

7/1

2 of 4 wins came at Newmarket last year (once over C&D) and has continued in good heart this season, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Ascot (12f, firm) 22 days ago though again showing a tendency to edge right under pressure. Should give her running returning to this track.

Form: 817-525

First Officer¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 79| CD

10/1

Twice a winner on the other course here and recorded his first success on the July course under this apprentice jockey when winning a 4-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago, always holding on after favourite did too much too soon. Tougher ask to follow up in higher grade.

Form: 12-4871

Just An Hour¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: B R Millman| OR: 78| D

14/1

Is enjoying a positive season, 3 wins from 5 runs this year, not needing to step up on previous efforts when landing 7-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. In excellent heart but 3 lb raise and step up in class makes life tougher.

Form: 8-13141

Moon Angel²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| BF| D

11/8

Winless for Harry Eustace but found a chunk of improvement after 9 months off when successful for new yard at Salisbury. Matched that effort when creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to firm) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Low mileage and this could be run to suit. One to consider.

Forecasts

Moon Angel (11/8), Beylerbeyi (9/4), Mrs Twig (7/1), Houstonn (8/1), First Officer (10/1), Odin Legacy (10/1), Just An Hour (14/1), Siempre Arturo (14/1), Way Of Life (22/1), Ensured (50/1)

Previous course winner SIEMPRE ARTURO arrives in form and has been given a chance by the handicapper. He can open his account for the season in first-time cheekpieces, with Moon Angel feared most if the prospect of a truly-run race materialises, while Mrs Twig continues in good form and was successful on her only previous visit to the July course.
