Joycean Way^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

4/1

Shaped well recently with 3 consecutive runner-up finishes in handicaps before finishing fifth of 10 in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Goodwood over a longer trip (9f) 24 days ago. Proven with ease in the ground and remains one to be interested in returning to a shorter trip back down in grade.

Johnjay²¹

10/3

Winner at this C&D (4/1) in May when stepping up on reappearance to double his tally. Sixth of 15 in handicap at Chepstow over 8f (11/1) 21 days ago but has form on slower ground and should be competitive on return to a track where previously successful.

Form: 0-31536

Love Your Work¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 60| D

16/1

Below last winning mark but has been inconsistent. Creditable effort when fourth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (12/1) but undone by a wide draw when eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (16/1) 16 days ago. Not ruled out if things fall right back over this C&D.

Poetic Force¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-11| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

9/1

Veteran has been a consistent performer in handicaps of late with a win at this C&D 39 days ago. Second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle over 7.8f (11/2) 14 days ago, kept on but no impression on well-treated winner. Goes well here and should give another good account.

Gone Rogue^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 56

7/2

2nd of 8 in 7f handicap at Brighton (15/2) last month when just headed in final 100 yards, before finishing sixth of 9 at Lingfield (AW) (8/1) 16 days ago, not seen to best effect when short of room entering straight. Ground versatile and on a fair mark back on turf.

Strobelight¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 58

14/1

Lightly-raced gelding made little impact in novices, most recently ninth of 9 in AW novice at Kempton (50/1) 19 days ago. Could show more on handicap debut as others from this yard have done and is one to note for support.

Never Dream¹⁴

17/2

Having shaped better than the result at Goodwood, finished second of 9 in a handicap at this course and distance (5/1) 14 days ago, beaten by just a head. Back up in grade but should remain competitive from a basement mark.

50/1

Fourth in Windsor novice on qualifying run before finishing ninth of 11 in handicap/AW debut at Lingfield (28/1) 20 days ago, racing freely then fading. Needs to settle better if she's to improve.

Kessaar Power⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Planas| T: P S McEntee| OR: 50| BF| D

28/1

Placed sixth twice at this course in June before finishing fourth of 9 in 7f AW conditions race at Lingfield (9/4) 88 days ago, shaping as if still in top form. Best turf effort this season came with give in the ground and has gone well following a break previously.

Laurentia^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Tommie Jakes| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 49| D

22/1

Three places in four runs and underlined her consistency finishing fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 14 days ago, tracked pace but found no extra final furlong. May need to pull out a bit more in a slightly higher grade.

James Park Woods²^{(ex 4)}

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 45| CD

10/1

Well-backed to win this race in similar conditions last year and first victory since when scoring at Bath on Saturday. Must be on the shortlist if turned out again quickly.

Clipsham Noble^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Christian Howarth| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 48| CD

25/1

C&D winner in June and had held his form well prior to finishing seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (12/1) 23 days ago, very slowly away and raced freely. Unproven on easier ground and remains to be seen if he can bounce back.

Perfect Parole⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 46

18/1

Successful at Wolverhampton in February and should have finished closer on stable debut when fourth of 7 in conditions race here, challenged 2f out but lost momentum when snatched up. Off 83 days and remains to be seen if she can back that up on slower ground without headgear.

Forecasts

Johnjay (10/3), Gone Rogue (7/2), Joycean Way (4/1), Bear To Dream (8/1), Never Dream (17/2), Poetic Force (9/1), James Park Woods (10/1), Strobelight (14/1), Love Your Work (16/1), Voltaic (16/1), Perfect Parole (18/1), Laurentia (22/1), Clipsham Noble (25/1), Kessaar Power (28/1), Grey Selkie (50/1)

Very competitive but JOYCEAN WAY went close in similar contests earlier in the season and should have no issues with conditions. He's taken to get off the mark back down in grade, while Kessaar Power was in top form when last seen and has won off a break previously. Of the rest, Johnjay holds solid claims returning to the scene of his last win, while Strobelight could well find improvement now handicapping for his shrewd connections. James Park Woods and Bear To Dream both ran well on Saturday.
