11/1
Course winner. 10/1 and blinkered for first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, good) 15 days ago, comfortably. Back up in trip and lot depends on whether that headgear works again.

10/3
Suffered a couple of narrow reversals prior to doubling career tally in 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on gamely. Cheekpieces on first time. Shortlist material up just 2 lb.

9/2
Made the most of a very good opportunity and didn't need to improve to win 11-runner classified event at Lingfield (10f, good) 8 days ago, readily. More needed back in a handicap.

11/2
Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 15 days ago, well positioned. Can make presence felt with his consistency at this level hard to knock.

10/3
Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm, 7/2) 25 days ago and he can remain competitive at this level.

18/1
Twelve runs since sole career success in 2024. Fourth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at this course (11.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, not ideally placed and finishing with running left. Has a reasonable record at his track.

14/1
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 11/4) 9 days ago, left with too much to do. That suggests she's back on good order and she has a lowly mark to exploit.

28/1 and blinkered for first time, good third of 7 in classified event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 13 days ago, nearest finish. That was his best effort of the season. but this is a deeper race.

Seventh of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (14f), unable to sustain effort. Down in trip on return from 4 months off but he's in good hands.

One win from 29 Flat runs. 4/1, first run since leaving Laura Mongan and caught the eye when seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Now looks of serious interest.

Forecasts

Naughty Niall (10/3), Zafaan (10/3), Fascinating Lips (9/2), Angel On High (11/2), Regal Glory (17/2), First Encounter (11/1), My Honey B (14/1), Rose Light (18/1), Pending Appeal (22/1), Bond Spirit (25/1), National Health (33/1), Myna (66/1)

Verdict

This looks a reasonable race for the grade, with REGAL GLORY perhaps the answer having shaped nicely from her basement mark starting out for a new yard a fortnight ago. Naughty Niall, First Encounter and My Honey B are just a trio of potential threats.

  1. Regal Glory17/2
  2. Naughty Niall10/3
  3. First Encounter11/1
