15/2

Won 10f AW handicap at Newcastle (6/1) 74 days ago, travelling well and just holding on, first two came clear. That has proven good form and he may have more to offer. Played up in stall and withdrawn ahead of latest intended start at Ayr, 21 July.

Modest maiden at best, including over hurdles (no form in 2024/25 for Gary Brown). Tongue tie goes on for new trainer back from a year off.

12/1

Third of 10 at Kempton (10/1) in July. Sixth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (14/1) 47 days ago, not in the same form in a better race. First-time cheekpieces and step back up in trip could help. One to consider.

9/2

Boasts 4 C&D wins and ran creditably when 2nd at this course over 9f 35 days ago. Finished 7th of 8 in a handicap at this C&D (5/1) 12 days ago, not seen to advantage with a more patient ride than usual. Could bounce back returned to more prominent tactics.

Forecasts

Racing Demon (9/4), Red Derek (5/2), Vellner (10/3), Buck Barrow (7/2), Zambezi Magic (9/2), Wyld Bill (15/2), Reignman (12/1), Kirkuila (14/1), Dance Havana (33/1)

WYLD BILL won a Newcastle handicap in June that worked out well and could have more to offer if handling these vastly different conditions. Reignman could improve with first-time cheekpieces, while Zambezi Magic boasts 4 C&D wins and could bounce back with more prominent tactics at his favoured track.
