Wolf Of Badenoch²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S Donohoe| T: T Culhane & S Barclay| OR: 60| BF

10/3

Beaten favourite on his last 3 starts, including when sixth of 11 in a handicap at Wolverhampton 23 days ago. The fact he slips into 0-60 company for the first time here makes him of some interest, but he also tries a new trip so has questions to answer.

Fleur De Mer^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 59

13/2

Without a win in 21 starts since September 2023 but had a run of solid placed efforts before below-par sixth of 8 at Ayr 20 days ago. Now back down in trip and grade and this looks a very realistic chance of ending her drought if back in good heart.

Form: 93-3236

Is She Now³^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D Bourke| OR: 52| BF

1/1

Struggled in Ireland but proved a totally different proposition when winning first 2 outings for new yard in June. Still looked in good heart when fourth of 8 at Ayr 3 days ago under same 4 lb penalty she carries here and should figure in the finish again assuming this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 49-0114

Ottoman^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 53

11/2

Modest form when placed in ordinary events last 2 starts, including when second of 8 at Leicester 14 days ago. Often shows a tendency to edge left under pressure but now tries first-time blinkers. More required.

Form: 650-832

Hijo De La Luna^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Elliott| T: S G West| OR: 48

11/1

Often front runs and made the frame first 2 starts this year, but only sixth of 7 in a handicap at Redcar over 1¾m just 4 days later, perhaps finding the race coming too soon. May well get run of the race back down in trip and isn't without hope because of that.

Broadstone^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: J R Norton| OR: 45

40/1

Yet to win from 17 starts and is tough to fancy on the balance of this year's form having finished tailed off in weak affairs the last twice.

Forecasts

Is She Now (1/1), Wolf Of Badenoch (10/3), Ottoman (11/2), Fleur De Mer (13/2), Hijo De La Luna (11/1), Broadstone (40/1), Due To Shine (66/1)

FLEUR DE MER is worth taking a chance on given some of her placed form earlier in the year looks strong enough and this is a first dip into 0-60 company, so if she's back in form she should be bang there. Is She Now is in good heart but had her winning run ended earlier in the week so may just prove vulnerable again, while Wolf of Badenoch holds claims if lasting out the longer trip.
