Won 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 17/2) 29 days ago. Scored with a bit in hand there so he must enter calculations despite a 3 lb weights rise.

Filly One³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 80| CD

11/4

C&D winner who returned from 4 months off with a career-best success in 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Up 3 lb but that form has been franked so she has to be taken seriously.

40/1

Latest win at Ripon in June. Just ninth of 10 to Buccabay in handicap at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago so needs to take a big step forward.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 78

22/1

Bounced back to form on yard debut when landing 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago, driven out. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Nemov^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 77| D

18/1

A fair 6f scorer for Clive Cox. Off 13 months/gelded before shaping well for new connections when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 28 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip for his tapeta debut. Can make presence felt.

Forecasts

Filly One (11/4), Stanley Spencer (7/2), Buccabay (4/1), Oriental Prince (8/1), Secret Guest (17/2), Prince Of Pillo (14/1), Amazonian Dream (16/1), Aberama Gold (18/1), Nemov (18/1), Gunlock (22/1), Bell Shot (33/1), Mr Cool (40/1)

FILLY ONE got back on the up after a lay-off when scoring at Newcastle last time and with that form having been well advertised since she is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise. Nemov caught the eye on his debut for Stuart Williams when seventh at Chelmsford and could emerge as the main threat ahead of Buccabay, Stanley Spencer and Oriental Prince.
