Bobacious²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 73| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Epsom in July. 4/1, last of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 24 days ago. Ground slowed than good would be a slight concern.

Form: 461126

Lone Piper^b⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Levey| T: Tom Clover| OR: 73| CD

12/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm, 10/1) 60 days ago. Blinkers now refitted and now just 1 lb higher than for his C&D success last September. Unproven on ground slower than good, but his credentials are otherwise strong.

Form: 261-657

Caramay^p¹⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 71| CD

Asian Journey²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: B J Meehan| OR: 71

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good, 9/4) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take a step forward.

Form: 324

Finn Russell⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| CD

9/1

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 33/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Twilight Safari³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 75

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 28/1) 31 days ago. Needs to raise his game now venturing down the handicap route.

Form: 526

(4)

Made U Blush^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 74

8/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in maiden (11/2) at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Good second on previous start/debut for this yard and she will be a threat if handling conditions (untried on ground slower than good).

Form: 6-35224

(2)

Boston Run^v³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: H Palmer| OR: 72

8/1

Visored for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 30 days ago. Now 4 lb lower than when runner-up on his reappearance during the spring and won't be inconvenienced by cut in the ground, so there is cause for optimism.

Form: 3-26865

(10)

Mighty Quiet^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 66| D

9/1

7/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Ready winner of a soft-ground handicap at Bath last October, which was her sole previous run on ground slower than good, and she's worth considering.

Form: 991-885

(3)

Castro Aurum^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 71

33/1

Winner at Bath in April. 5/1, third of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 23 days ago. Back up in trip and will need to find some improvement if she's to emerge on top here.

Form: 53-1433

(7)

Karthala⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 68

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 11 in novice at this course (8.1f, good), running on. Off 91 days. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he's in good hands to progress.

Form: 503

Forecasts

Bobacious (10/3), Asian Journey (7/2), Karthala (9/2), Made U Blush (8/1), Boston Run (8/1), Mighty Quiet (9/1), Finn Russell (9/1), Lone Piper (12/1), Finsceal Luas (12/1), Twilight Safari (22/1), Caramay (28/1), Castro Aurum (33/1)

KARTHALA was well held on the all-weather on his penultimate start, but he shaped well in 1m novice events here either side of that and is of strong interest now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. With the ground likely to be on the slow side, Mighty Quiet enters the reckoning given how well she won on soft at Bath last autumn, while Made U Blush is third choice and Lone Piper, who scored over this C&D last September, is also shortlisted.
