Symbol of Hope^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 55| D

28/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 9/1) 17 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form, but based on recent evidence he's readily passed over.

Form: 48-0056

(5)

Southbank³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Gordon| OR: 55| D

10/1

Latest win at Bath in May. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (6f, firm, 11/1) 39 days ago, slowly away. Opposable on the back of that low-key display.

Form: 373150

(8)

Alshimali^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

9/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago. 5 lb rise tolerable and he's one to consider.

Form: 594371

Roman Spring^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 54| D

18/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. Winner at Brighton in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 14 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 448128

(3)

Hint Of The Jungle^h,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR: 54

20/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 25/1) 15 days ago and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 56-0455

(11)

Stalingrad¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: P R Chamings| OR: 54| D

28/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. 16/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Capable of a bold show off this mark, provided he's on a going day.

Form: 4-87309

(6)

Kodi Red¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 53| D

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 2/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive on this occasion.

Form: 846964

(4)

All Too Beautiful²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 53

5/1

9/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. That was her best effort yet and she is likely to go one better at some point soon.

Form: 8-72732

(7)

Mighty Real^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 46

14/1

11/2, below form eighth of 14 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good) 27 days ago, met some trouble. Will need to raise his game in order to emerge on top here.

Form: 89-7338

Forecasts

Summertime Blues (5/2), All Too Beautiful (5/1), Alshimali (9/1), Southbank (10/1), Kodi Red (11/1), Mighty Real (14/1), Roman Spring (18/1), Hint Of The Jungle (20/1), Smasher (25/1), Stalingrad (28/1), Symbol of Hope (28/1)

The vote goes to ALSHIMALI, who took a step forward when opening his account at Brighton earlier this month and a 5 lb rise looks manageable. Stalingrad will be a big threat if he puts his best foot forward and the 8-y-o is next on the list. If he goes to post here following his recent Chepstow success Summertime Blues should also be in the mix, along with All Too Beautiful.
