Wicked^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| D

11/2

Made winning handicap debut at Sandown (8f) in May but not in the same form at Goodwood both starts since, failing to convince at longer trip when sixth in 7-runner event (9.9f, good to firm, 11/2) 13 days ago. Blinkers now reached for.

Form: 6-52106

Best Rate⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

5/2

Has returned to form last 2 starts, producing his best effort to date when second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/1) 8 days ago. Was doing his best work late on last time and he's a major player back up in trip.

Form: 420442

Gilet²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 83

8/1

Good second at Newbury in June but has been below form since, looking awkward under pressure when seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 13/2) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on the up.

Form: 2-52507

Aspull²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: C G Cox| OR: 82

11/2

Winner at Salisbury (7f) on debut in July and has matched that level both subsequent outings, second of 9 in novice at the same C&D (good, 10/3) 22 days ago. Interesting contender upped in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 132

Knights Gold^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: R & J & J Insole| OR: 82| C| D

4/1

Recorded fourth win of the season when scoring at Ascot in July. Run of good form halted when eleventh of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm, 18/1) 2 weeks ago, though he could bounce back returned to this lower grade.

Form: 361130

Spirit Of Leros^b1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 79

12/1

Dual winner at 2 yrs and was only narrowly denied at Yarmouth (8f) in June. However, has gone backwards last 2 starts, eighth of 9 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 5/1) last month. Blinkers applied making all-weather debut.

Form: 043278

Lazieelunch^b⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Woods| OR: 78| CD

33/1

Three-time winner last year, including at this C&D. Shaped well when runner-up at Lingfield in June but lesser efforts the last twice, shaping as if amiss when last of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 40/1) 54 days ago.

Form: 6-53280

Majestic Wave⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 77

80/1

Winner when trained in Ireland last year but struggling for form at present, tenth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Has enough to prove tried over this longer distance.

Form: 640000

(2)

Winston's Warrior^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 73

11/2

Remains a maiden but runner-up 2 of first 3 starts this season sent handicapping. Below form last 2 outings, fifth of 9 at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 5/1) 3 weeks ago, but he could fare better back up in trip with blinkers added.

Form: 2-29265

Forecasts

Best Rate (5/2), Knights Gold (4/1), Winston's Warrior (11/2), Wicked (11/2), Aspull (11/2), Gilet (8/1), Spirit Of Leros (12/1), Lazieelunch (33/1), Majestic Wave (80/1)

Returned to all-weather, BEST RATE was only narrowly denied at Southwell 8 days ago and he can build on that effort as he goes back up in trip. He is taken to gain a first handicap success, though Aspull could still have more to offer as he makes his handicap debut, with Knights Gold another to note as he drops back down in grade.
