Off time: 20:19 | Winning time: 2m 37.38s

(5)

Damascus Steel^v³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: S De Sousa| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to firm) 32 days ago. On a good mark, but his profile is a little too up-and-down for comfort.

Form: 884928

(10)

Marhaba Million^p1⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: George Downing| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 70

125/1

Last of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good, 33/1) 68 days ago. Cheekpieces enlisted now switched to polytrack and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 9326-86

(3)

Meleri²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 68| D

20/1

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Last of 7 in handicap (7/4) at Newbury (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Would have a chance if on a going day, but some of these look more solid.

Form: 22-2137

(6)

Nivelle's Magic³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: Dan Horsford| OR: 66| BF| D

7/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Ffos Las in June. 11/10, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 34 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 4-51314

(1)

Mount Olympus^p⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: A King| OR: 66| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 15/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 48 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 13/86-54

(13)

The Bay Warrior¹⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| C

66/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (12.1f), better placed than most. Off 6 months and likely to find one or two too good on this occasion.

Form: 7532-15

(7)

Nunc Est Bibendum²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65

50/1

First run since leaving Stephen Gerard Carey when last of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft, 17/2) 20 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip for this polytrack debut and now finds herself with a fair bit to prove.

Form: 57432-0

(8)

Artavian^v1⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 63

14/1

9/2, 5¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Meleri in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 71 days ago. 0-6 on the AW and will need the first-time visor to trigger a step forward if he's to emerge on top.

Form: 0621-35

(4)

John Locke^p,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 61

16/1

Creditable second of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. Needs considering off the same mark having performed with credit on both previous AW starts.

Form: 105/762

(2)

Only One Blue²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

16/5

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Eased 3 lb and she is one to consider.

Form: 2-4264

(9)

Dubawi Time^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 60| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Merits consideration off 1 lb lower back here.

Form: 41-9673

(11)

Wine Dark Sea⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 69

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 2-75

(12)

Love You Back¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

4/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 3/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip for this polytrack debut and he's in with a shout.

Form: 66-6534

Forecasts

Only One Blue (16/5), Love You Back (4/1), Damascus Steel (5/1), Dubawi Time (13/2), Nivelle's Magic (7/1), Wine Dark Sea (15/2), Artavian (14/1), Mount Olympus (16/1), John Locke (16/1), Meleri (20/1), Nunc Est Bibendum (50/1), The Bay Warrior (66/1), Marhaba Million (125/1)

ONLY ONE BLUE was never really in the hunt following a tardy start at Doncaster last month, but the handicapper has been quick to show mercy and the Blue Point filly is of strong interest judged on her second in a Salisbury maiden in June. Love You Back is second choice ahead of Dubawi Time, while John Locke and Nivelle's Magic are others with claims.
