5/4
Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 9/2) 7 days ago, well on top finish. Solid chance of going in again under a penalty, but it wouldn't be an ideal scenario if this were to develop into a tactical affair.

12/1
9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 35 days ago. However, he went close at Ripon on his penultimate start and a reproduction of that effort would give him a chance.

Winner at Yarmouth in April. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 18/1) 22 days ago. Likely to be in the mix.

4/1
Latest win at Epsom in July. 11/4, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Should give it a good shot from the front.

4/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (10f, firm) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to take a step forward, but it's still early days and she's in good hands.

Forecasts

Charming Whisper (5/4), Clermont Ferrand (4/1), Bobacious (4/1), Tribal Wisdom (6/1), Sir Edward Lear (12/1), Show Biz Kid (14/1)

Verdict

There's a good chance that BOBACIOUS will be allowed an uncontested lead and he is taken to regain the winning thread, having lost little caste in defeat when going down narrowly in his hat-trick bid at Windsor last month. The booking of bang in-form jockey Tom Marquand adds to his appeal. Charming Whisper did the job well over C&D last week and is greatly respected under a penalty, for all that he's far from guaranteed to get a strong pace to aim at this time. Show Biz Kid also has claims.
