Rukaana^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K Stott| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 75

18/1

100/1 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he's worth a second look.

Form: 1/6187-7

(2)

Charlie's Choice²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 73| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 21 days ago, very slowly away. Expected to be bang there off an attractive mark.

Form: 509237

(13)

Sassified^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: James Owen| OR: 72

100/1

Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Philip Hobbs & Johnson White when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good, 5/2) 16 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was creditable and he's interesting on first run on the Flat for the James Owen yard.

Form: 318783/

Enthused^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: James Owen| OR: 71| D

33/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. Eighth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 281078

(6)

Si Solus^p1⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 71

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 9/2) 56 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2234

An Bradan Feasa³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 71| D

9/1

Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm, 13/8) 32 days ago, driven out. Very much of interest returned to this sphere off what could prove to be a handy mark.

Form: 701244

Yellow Card¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: M Bowen| OR: 75| D

28/1

Latest win at Salisbury in May. Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Would have a chance if able to bounce back to his best.

Form: 114649

(7)

Shumus³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills| OR: 75

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in maiden at this C&D (9/2) 37 days ago. More needed now handicapping, but she's lightly-raced and in good hands, so that's certainly possible.

Form: 323

(12)

Everyoneknowsadave³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 74| C

9/2

Course winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 412632

(3)

Eupator¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 73| BF

10/3

Good second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 34-4892

(8)

Mersea Island²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 73

9/2

Visored for 1st time, third of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, well positioned. Needs to get back on track, though it's worth noting that he has performed well both previous runs on the AW.

Form: 472-663

(1)

Whatcombe^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 70

33/1

20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Oliver Cole when sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 02-4086

(5)

Relocal²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian| OR: 69

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, very good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 25 days ago, having run of race. 2 lb nudge for that near-miss is fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 55662

Forecasts

Eupator (10/3), Relocal (4/1), Mersea Island (9/2), Everyoneknowsadave (9/2), Shumus (8/1), An Bradan Feasa (9/1), Charlie's Choice (10/1), Rukaana (18/1), Si Solus (25/1), Yellow Card (28/1), Enthused (33/1), Whatcombe (33/1), Sassified (100/1)

The vote goes to AN BRADAN FEASA, who arrives here following back-to-back wins over hurdles and is on an appealing mark returned to this sphere. Charlie's Choice is also feasibly treated and is next on the list ahead of Everyoneknowsadave and Relocal, while Sassified is one to note in the betting on his Flat debut for the James Owen yard and Shumus may improve now pitched into a handicap.
