Theme Park⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 73| D

12/1

10/1, respectable ninth of 16 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Seemingly just going through the motions of late but is becoming attractively handicapped in this lower grade.

Form: 975549

Sheikh Raj³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 75

9/4

6/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 33 days ago, nearest at the finish having been left with plenty to do. Respected.

Form: 6-56423

Summer Heat^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 74

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, very good second of 13 in handicap at this course (10f) 21 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously dropped back in trip.

Form: 42362

Divine Legacy^v1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 73

14/1

9/2, third of 4 in seller at this course (10f) 35 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 2-25203

Penfolds Grange²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 72

100/1

100/1, first run since leaving Harry Eustace when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Needs to leave that form well behind to figure.

Form: 373660

(9)

Luminoso²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 71| BF

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/4, first run since leaving Raphael Freire when fourth of 7 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 24 days ago. Opening mark looks stiff but she was well backed last time, so any further market support would be of note.

Form: 254

Beauty By My Side^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Parr| OR: 71

16/1

Looked to be going the wrong way before getting back on track with third of 9 in handicap at Kempton Park (22/1) last month. Not at same level when seventh of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 255737

(2)

Dalmally²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: H Morrison| OR: 69| BF| D

7/1

Good second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) last month but found his run of good form coming to a halt in first-time blinkers when eighth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 3/1) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 654328

(10)

Pacifist²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: C Johnston| OR: 65| D

50/1

Good second over C&D on penultimate start but not the most consistent type and was only ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 580729

Forecasts

Summer Heat (2/1), Sheikh Raj (9/4), Waiting All Night (5/1), Dalmally (7/1), Theme Park (12/1), Divine Legacy (14/1), Beauty By My Side (16/1), Luminoso (50/1), Pacifist (50/1), Penfolds Grange (100/1)

SUMMER HEAT bumped into a thriving sort over 10f here earlier in the month and gets the nod dropped back to 1m with the eye-catching booking of Murphy. Sheikh Raj produced an encouraging effort from a long way back at Ayr last time and is also shortlisted alongside Waiting All Night, who remains potentially well treated under a penalty.
