Nibras Gold^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: James Owen| OR: 76| D

11/4

Fit from spell over fences and made winning return in this sphere when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap over similar trip at Chester 26 days ago. Just 1 lb higher here and is likely to go well again.

Form: 16152-1

Maasai Mara^b⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 75

18/1

Not the most reliable but tumbled down the weights and came close over C&D in May. Ran poorly on heavy ground at Goodwood since but can't be ruled out.

Form: 78/4027

Sarangpur¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| CD

10/11

Made winning start for Richard Hughes over C&D in June and improved with each start since, latest when winning 4-runner handicap at Newbury (1½m, good to firm) 14 days ago. Remains fairly treated and must be of interest again.

Bohemian Breeze^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| C| D

10/1

Capitalised on reduced mark when returning to winning ways here in June and made light of 5 lb rise when readily following up in handicap (9/2) at this course (1¼m, good) 37 days ago. Looks sure to go well again.

9/2

Fair maiden who has made the frame in handicap company the last twice, latest when third of 5 at Doncaster (1½m, firm) 19 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Forecasts

Sarangpur (10/11), Nibras Gold (11/4), Tai Hang Pegasus (9/2), Brave Hunter (5/1), Bohemian Breeze (10/1), Maasai Mara (18/1)

SARANGPUR has thrived since joining Richard Hughes, winning 3 of his 4 starts. A 4 lb rise looks very fair for his latest success and he is fancied to score again. Multiple course winner Bohemian Breeze is feared most.
