Moab¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 60

13/8

Maiden on Flat/over hurdles who was given a considerate reappearance following 8 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Not one to write off dropped in to class 6 company for the first time.

Form: 34766-8

Sea Of Charm^b¹¹^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 55| D

4/1

Edged back down to last winning mark and, down in grade, she capitalised to bag second success of the season in 7-runner handicap (9/2) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Should be firmly in the picture again under a penalty.

Form: 342351

Rogue Justice^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Jack Jones| OR: 59

13/2

Calyx gelding who bettered his 2 previous efforts when third of 8 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm, 66/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now handicapping and he appeals as a likely improver stepping back up in trip.

Form: 883

(2)

Saachi^v1⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 47

7/2

Maiden after 11 career starts who turned in his best effort of the season having fallen to a basement mark when third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Switched yards since and he's another worth a second look. Visor on 1st time.

Form: 650-053

(6)

Beaune²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Jay Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 45

11/2

Maiden who appeared to find the drop in trip against him when fifth of 9 in minor event at this course (1m) 24 days ago, shaken up 2f out and making only late headway. Dam's side of his pedigree suggests he should stay this far but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 853645

Forecasts

Moab (13/8), Jimmy Mark (5/2), Saachi (7/2), Sea Of Charm (4/1), Beaune (11/2), Rogue Justice (13/2)

SAACHI ended time with his former stable with a good third over this sort of trip at Leicester 2 months ago and a repeat can see him firmly in the mix again now equipped with a first-time visor. Recent Windsor scorer Sea of Charm is another expected to be in the thick of things, with handicap debutant Rogue Justice another to note.
