Royal Pleasure^h,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: L Morris| T: K Jewell| OR: 69

14/1

Finished second in 9f and 8f handicaps, habitually dwells at start. First of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) (6/1) 15 days ago, overcame slow start to quicken inside final furlong. Not one to trust.

Fihrayn^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Boyle| OR: 68

9/1

Won at Chelmsford City (10f) 28 days ago. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield Park (10f) at 11/2 15 days ago, running creditably despite a rise in weights. Handles this course well and looks capable of being in the mix again.

4/1

Consistent on the AW with multiple runner-up finishes between March and June. Sixth of 9 in a handicap at Lingfield (6/1) 15 days ago, might have finished closer with more room. Proven course specialist at Kempton with previous wins over this C&D.

5/1

Has shown decent form, finishing 3rd of 7 at Sandown (8f) and 2nd of 6 at Newbury (10f). Fifth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9/2) 16 days ago on heavy ground. First-time cheekpieces and return to AW could suit.

Form: 149325

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 69

16/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 67

6/1

Shown decent form with a neck second at Wolverhampton and third at Haydock over 10f but was seventh of 11 in 14f handicap at Southwell (9/2) 52 days ago, trapped on the rail. Shorter trip could suit better based on previous efforts.

Forecasts

Blue Train (10/3), Solanna (4/1), Catherine's Gift (4/1), Bownder (5/1), Must Believe (6/1), Fihrayn (9/1), Royal Pleasure (14/1), Lieutenant Lily (16/1), Meleri (18/1), Nahy (28/1), Three Yorkshiremen (40/1), Redondo (40/1), Upepo (100/1)

BOWNDER remains on a fair mark and should appreciate returning to the all-weather after finding heavy ground at Goodwood beyond him last time. He's shown decent form with placed efforts at Sandown and Newbury. Fihrayn has been consistent on artificial surfaces, including a win at Chelmsford, while course specialist Solanna must be respected.
