Show Biz Kid^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 69

10/1

Inconsistent performer who shaped as if back in form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (20/1) 16 days ago, travelling fluently but left with too much to do. Makes some appeal if given a more prominent ride.

15/2

Non winner with quirky tendencies, finished eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 22 days ago when dwelt, raced off pace and hung left. Can perform well when the quirks don't get the better of her.

9/2

Shown fair form in four starts, finishing 4th of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (20/1) 20 days ago in first-time hood and tongue strap when upped in trip. Bred to appreciate this further step up in distance.

Prince Quattro^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 65

7/1

Has been running consistently well in handicaps with three placed efforts in last four AW starts. Third of 12 in handicap over 14f at Wolverhampton (11/2) 18 days ago, kept on but lacked pace to trouble the first two. Cheekpieces back on and has shown good form at this course.

Troy Story¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66

12/1

Finished fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (4/1) 18 days ago, taking keen hold before weakening. Significant step up in trip raises stamina concerns given tendency to pull.

Form: 667575

Spec Of Light¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65| C

4/1

Form modest since March win before showing some improvement when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 16 days ago, making headway 2f out but finding no extra late. Now runs off a mark below last winning level.

Forecasts

It's A Love Thing (7/2), Spec Of Light (4/1), The English Rogue (9/2), Percy Willis (11/2), Prince Quattro (7/1), Caramay (15/2), Show Biz Kid (10/1), Troy Story (12/1), Oviedo (40/1)

PERCY WILLIS has been a consistent performer on the all-weather with three placings in his last four starts and looks well placed to go one better after just bumping into an improver at Newcastle 16 days ago. Prince Quattro has also been knocking on the door recently and has good course form, while Show Biz Kid shaped well here 16 days ago when possibly given too much to do.
