8/11

Two wins from 6 runs this year. 13/8, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (16.5f) 8 days ago, easily. Leading claims under a penalty.

Form: 368411

Tamaris^t⁵⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 61| D

15/2

First run since leaving Joe Tizzard when winning a 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 11/10) in April 2024. Subsequent absence naturally a concern, but he's one to note in the betting.

Form: 5732/11-

Alfie D¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies| T: J Tate| OR: 64

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, very good third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 15 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 63873

Moab¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 57

7/2

11/2, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 766-834

Doddington Guy¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Menuisier| OR: 58

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Sandown (14f, good). Needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 3589

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: G Hanmer| OR: 50

66/1

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 50/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Probably worth taking on.

Forecasts

Universal Story (8/11), Moab (7/2), Tamaris (15/2), Doddington Guy (10/1), Alfie D (10/1), Rosso Levanto (66/1)

UNIVERSAL STORY is clearly on the up and she will take plenty of stopping in her hat-trick bid. Jennie Candlish's charge may have most to fear from Moab, who wasn't disgraced at Kempton last time. If Tamaris is fully tuned-up following an 18-month absence she could also have a part to play, too.
