Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 74

18/1

Blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, firm, 16/1). Off 126 days. First run for yard after leaving Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill. Just modest over hurdles nowadays and looks up against it from this sort of mark on the Flat.

Form: 9099/4-6

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T P Queally| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

12/1

Latest win at Chepstow in May. Good second at Haydock on penultimate start but only fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (15.9f, firm) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Fast Fred^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 71

11/2

Proved better than ever when scoring at Carlisle (11.2f) in July. Good third at York (16.2f, good, 16/1) next time but was bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Dino Bellagio¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 71

4/1

Winner at Southwell in July. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (16f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration from mark that is edging back down.

Form: 353143

No More Bolero^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 71

13/2

Fairly useful stayer on the Flat in Germany earlier in his career and produced by far his best effort on these shores when second of 12 in handicap at this course (15.9f, good) 8 days ago. Probably made effort even earlier than ideal there and looks set to go close again.

Zimmerman^b,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

6/1

Has edged down the weights and ran creditably when fifth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Still potentially well handicapped but might benefit from step back up in trip.

Gained third win of the all-weather season when making all at Lingfield (13f) in April. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (18.6f, good, 33/1). Off 134 days. Back down in trip. Others preferred from wide draw.

Oman^b⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

33/1

Reluctant individual. C&D winner. Scored at Lingfield in April/ 22/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (12.3f, good to firm) 84 days ago. Difficult to have much faith in kept to turf.

Form: 17-6868

Swinging London^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: J Mackie| OR: 66| D

18/1

Won 3 times on all-weather over the winter and shaped as if in decent form when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good, 33/1) 9 days ago. Remains with a turf win on the level, though, and others are preferred.

Solar Pass²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 71

7/2

Runner-up 3 of his last 4 starts, finding some improvement when second of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, soft, 9/2) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly from wide draw.

40/1

Latest win at Newcastle in March. 10/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 137 days. Very lightly raced on turf, so probably best avoided.

Run Of Luck¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 57

15/2

Successful at Doncaster (1¼m) and Ffos Las (1½m) this year. Good second at Carlisle on his penultimate start and again ran well when sixth at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Perhaps more effective over shorter but respected nevertheless.

Cheshire Belle^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 55

33/1

No better than mid-field on qualifying runs and has beaten only one rival home across 2 starts in handicaps so far. Connections now reach for visor.

Solar Pass (7/2), Dino Bellagio (4/1), Fast Fred (11/2), Zimmerman (6/1), No More Bolero (13/2), Run Of Luck (15/2), Gallant Lion (12/1), Swinging London (18/1), Ruler Legend (18/1), Dance Time (22/1), Montpellier Green (25/1), Cheshire Belle (33/1), Oman (33/1), Alex The Great (40/1)

NO MORE BOLERO has slipped a long way in the weights and isn't long with a yard that have a fine record with similar types, so can go one better than he did at the track last week. Solar Pass has gone close on his previous 2 outings and looks certain to be in the mix again, with Dino Bellagio completing the shortlist despite being drawn right on the inside.
