7/1

Won a 10f handicap at Sandown Park last September and ran creditably in similar events last autumn. Fifth of 8 in handicap over C&D (20/1) 17 days ago, stepped up on recent return to action with effort just flattening out late on. On a good mark and should be primed to produce her best form now.

Form: 213-955

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 62| D

22/1

Won a 10f handicap at Leicester in April but form has been patchy since, finishing sixth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7/2) 10 days ago when making headway 2f out before weakening. Needs to recapture earlier season form to be competitive.

Form: 3-15446

Imperial Cult¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Gina Mangan| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 58| CD

4/1

Course and distance winner who ran well when second of 6 in handicap at Epsom (10/1) recently. Fifth of 10 in handicap on AW at Lingfield (7/1) 12 days ago, remained prominent but finished one paced after lacking room. Returns to the course and distance of last year's success.

Form: 644825

(5)

Roman Secret³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 56

5/1

Showing improved form recently with a second at Nottingham in July. Third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (9/2) 35 days ago, confirming return to form but displaying awkwardness that likely explains modest 1-19 career record. Well treated on recent form and could be competitive at this level.

Form: 26-4323

(10)

Irezumi^p,h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 53| D

22/1

Finished third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (13/2) 11 days ago, making late headway after dwelling. Often dwells at start which may hamper chances.

Form: 321223

Forecasts

Double Red (4/1), Imperial Cult (4/1), Roman Secret (5/1), Questionable (7/1), Mrembo (15/2), Arkendale (9/1), Didaar (11/1), Racing Demon (14/1), Prince Rasam (20/1), Guendolen (22/1), Irezumi (22/1)

QUESTIONABLE stepped up on her return when fifth over C&D 17 days ago and should be primed to produce her best now. Imperial Cult has a decent record here, while Roman Secret should be on the premises again.
