Nordic Glory²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52| CD

3/1

Two course and distance wins in classified company earlier this year. Ran respectably when third of 10 in handicap at this track (13/2) 20 days ago, keeping on despite typically racing awkwardly. Likely to be competitive returning to the scene of previous successes.

Step Along²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 54| BF

12/1

Two third-place finishes over 7f last month. Chepstow run can be forgiven but trailed the field in a 7f handicap here on Saturday. Will need to improve for the return to sprinting.

Banana^p,t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 51

10/1

Dual winner of 5f handicaps this year with some good recent runs. Fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (12/1) 8 days ago, not disgraced in a better race than she need contest. Player back down in class on the all-weather.

Form: 143485

Angel's Call⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 51| C

6/1

Novice winner here last season but out of sorts lately, finished 7th of 12 at Bath (12/1) 9 days ago when forcing the pace until over 1f out before weakening. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 00-8067

Forest Gunner¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Phoebe Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 50

10/1

Form has regressed since a promising third in a novice race at this track in January. Has left David Simcock and remains to be seen if he can get back on track back over 6f on stable debut/reappearance.

Form: 0/35776

Under Curfew^v²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49| CD

3/1

Solid form at Brighton last month. Ran well when second in 5.7f Bath handicap 9 days ago with headgear refitted, coming from off the pace and staying on at the finish. Not in the same form over 7f here on Saturday but return to 6f should suit and he may yet be able to capitalise on lower AW mark.

Form: 303527

King's Gem^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: T Faulkner| OR: 49

33/1

Has proved a difficult ride in previous runs and finished last of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (40/1) 28 days ago with blinkers refitted. Has not won in 18 races. One to treat with caution.

Form: 950-809

Sisters In The Sky^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard| T: G Harris| OR: 49| CD

6/1

Below form in recent turf handicaps, sixth of 11 at Bath (50/1) 8 days ago when making late headway. Two previous course and distance wins but remains to be seen if she can bounce back to form returned to the all-weather.

Form: 067566

Red Walls⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: L Williamson| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Five-time course winner. Went close in a Ffos Las classified race last month but finished eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 6 days ago when turned out quickly with no real excuses. Bit to prove on the back of that run but previous course form offers some hope of a bounce back.

Form: 303298

Savalas^p³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 45| CD

33/1

Ran creditably when second of 8 at Bath (5f) in May and has good record at this course with 3 wins. Finished last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (33/1) 35 days ago, might have needed the run after 13 weeks off. Ought to be more competitive returned to this C&D.

Form: 732559

Lil Wade^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jay Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

100/1

Finished last of 9 in AW handicap at Lingfield (150/1) 14 days ago, outpaced throughout. Yet to win in 27 career starts and others preferred.

Form: 897989

Legendsoftheland³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 45

16/1

Maiden after 11 starts with poor form in handicaps who offered little on stable debut when 7th of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (10/1) 39 days ago. Best efforts have come on all-weather but still has improvement to find on second start for yard (also saddle Savalas).

Form: 70-0677

Forecasts

Nordic Glory (3/1), Under Curfew (3/1), Angel's Call (6/1), Sisters In The Sky (6/1), Banana (10/1), Forest Gunner (10/1), Red Walls (12/1), Step Along (12/1), Legendsoftheland (16/1), Savalas (33/1), King's Gem (33/1), Lil Wade (100/1)

UNDER CURFEW has some solid form on turf this season and ran well when second at Bath 9 days ago. He should appreciate the return to sprinting and may be able to exploit his lower AW mark. Nordic Glory, a dual C&D winner this year, again ran respectably when third here 20 days ago despite typically racing awkwardly, while Banana could go well back down in class on return to this surface.
