12/1

Fairly useful on Flat for Jessica Harrington earlier in career but no better than modest form over hurdles since, runner-up on 2 of last 3 starts this summer (well below best latest). Returns to the level with others appealing more.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 64

3/1

Has hit top form with three consecutive handicap wins since being refitted with headgear, latterly a 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (12f) 36 days ago, making headway when switched before quickening to lead late on. Looks as good as ever and well worth considering back at this longer trip.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 63

5/4

Won a 10f handicap at Brighton (8/1) 39 days ago and ran creditably upped in class when third of 7 in handicap at Ascot (12f) 21 days ago, doing well from held-up position. Interesting from this sort of mark back down in grade.

28/1

Dual purpose performer who hinted at a revival when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f) 23 days ago, the trip possibly stretching him. However, well held when last seen in this sphere and others look to hold much more pressing claims.

Man Of The Sea^p,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 55| C

13/2

Four-time winner on the Flat/over hurdles in Jersey last year and back on scoreboard over 14f here in April. Didn't convince in pair of chase tries at Stratford last month but a return to this discipline can see him in a better light.

Sneaky Blinder^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R Stephens| OR: 51

11/2

Landed back-to-back Kempton handicaps in January and not disgraced in recent starts, third of 4 in handicap here (14f) at odds of 17/2 31 days ago, albeit not threatening. May have to settle for a minor role again.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 50| C

18/1

Continues out of sorts, finishing last of 8 in handicap at Bath over 11.6f (25/1) 15 days ago when wearing headgear. Cheekpieces discarded now returning to this longer trip but she's hard to recommend at present.

Forecasts

Bohemian Breeze (5/4), Trojan Truth (3/1), Sneaky Blinder (11/2), Man Of The Sea (13/2), Privilege (12/1), Endofastorm (18/1), Byzantine Empire (28/1)

TROJAN TRUTH is in peak form with three consecutive wins since headgear was refitted, impressing when quickening to score at Chepstow and she looks capable of defying another rise in the weights back over this longer trip. Bohemian Breeze took third in a stronger Ascot handicap last time and is a big danger down in class, while Sneaky Blinder may be more competitive back at this shorter trip.
