Showed much improved form stepped up further in trip when close second at Haydock (11.5f) in May. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces worn of late left off, first-time tongue tie on.

Resdev Time^p1¹³

14/1

One of her best efforts when third of 6 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 13 days ago, staying on after not travelling with much fluency. Steps up in trip again with cheekpieces also added. Considered.

Form: 55-5563

25/1

Well beaten in 3 qualifying runs at up to 1m. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut after 3 months off. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form: 68-0

Star Of Emerald^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: E Bethell| OR: 48

33/1

Rather laboured when 11 lengths fourth on Catterick handicap debut (1½m, good to firm) in May. Well beaten on soft ground at Ayr with a visor added since. Blinkers tried now. Too soon to write off but he needs improvement.

Form: 74647

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 46

11/1

Form: 76-6444

Forecasts

Vietnorm (8/15), Keep It Classic (10/3), Riddikulus (11/1), Resdev Time (14/1), Picaro (18/1), Fairydale (20/1), Hansteen (25/1), Star Of Emerald (33/1)

VIETNORM has scored over hurdles since doubling up on the Flat in May and can extend his winning spree to 4 now back on the level. Resdev Time shapes as if she may benefit from this further step up in trip and headgear and is second choice ahead of Keep It Classic.
