Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 72| BF| D

9/4

Improved to 2nd of 12 in handicap here (7f) after breathing op. Then 5th of 9 at Wolverhampton (9f) as favourite, never involved after slow start. Better judged on Newcastle form and should benefit from returning to this track.

Priapos¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 71| CD

9/4

First of 10 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 13 days ago, bouncing back to form without cheekpieces to make a mockery of reduced mark. Remains well treated and likely to be effective again here.

11/2

Won a handicap at Newbury (9/2) in July with first-time cheekpieces, but form dipped in next three starts after yard change. Finished third of 10 at Wolverhampton (33/1) recently despite slow start, showing improvement.

Coeur Jaune¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| D

10/1

Won at Leicester (9/2) 121 days ago and has been consistent since, finishing fourth of 8 in a handicap at this course and distance (12/1) 15 days ago. Looks capable of building on her recent all-weather performances.

Storm The Dug²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 67

16/1

Showed promise with a 3rd in a handicap at Musselburgh (7f) in 2024, then 4th of 9 in a novice at Newcastle (8f) (28/1) 21 days ago when gelded. Could improve for that run.

Form: 5533-4

Sherlock¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57

13/2

Showed improved form when second at Newcastle (7f) three weeks ago before finishing fourth of 11 at Southwell (8/1) 13 days ago, steadied early and couldn't quicken. Back up in trip today which could suit based on pedigree.

Form: 645024

Forecasts

Priapos (9/4), Political Power (9/4), Boubyan (11/2), Eve's Boy (6/1), Sherlock (13/2), Coeur Jaune (10/1), American State (11/1), Storm The Dug (16/1), Wait For It (50/1)

PRIAPOS made a mockery of a reduced mark when scoring at this course and distance less than two weeks ago and remains well treated to follow up now connections have found the key to him. Boubyan hinted at a revival when staying-on third at Wolverhampton recently despite a slow start. Political Power should appreciate returning to Newcastle where he previously ran well.
