4/1

3-time all-weather winner but continued below form on first start for new handlers finishing eighth of 10 in AW handicap at Kempton (18/1) 16 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces but has something to prove.

Lessay¹⁹

4/1

Best form on all-weather. Ran better when 6th of 12 at Southwell (7f, 12/1) 32 days ago before seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) 19 days ago, making little impression. Headgear removed and while he has the ability to be competitive, his overall turf record (0-6) is worth noting.

10/11

In good form since stepping back up to 7f with second at Ffos Las and fourth at Haydock in handicaps. Won 9-runner handicap at this course and distance (9/2) 7 days ago, travelling well and always holding on. Solid claims under a penalty.

12/1

Won at Kempton 51 days ago before fourth of 8 in AW handicap at Chelmsford (7/1) 22 days ago, underperforming after a win again. Better horse on the all-weather and has a bit to find back on turf.

Lhebayeb³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: R J Price| OR: 59

9/1

Won at Chepstow in June and ran well when second at Ffos Las (12/1), but ninth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (12/1) 35 days ago, following a good run with a below-par one. Ought to be competitive if bouncing back.

Forecasts

Cypriot Diaspora (10/11), Just Typical (2/1), Newsreader (4/1), Lessay (4/1), Lhebayeb (9/1), Capuchinero (12/1)

CYPRIOT DIASPORA confirmed her recent promise when a ready winner over C&D 7 days ago and she's taken to follow up under a penalty. Just Typical finished strongly following a slow start when second at Newmarket recently and is readily preferred as the main danger. Lhebayeb ran well here in June and may prove best of the rest if bouncing back from a below-par run.
