Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 72| BF

6/1

In good form without winning for Richard Hannon and made a positive start for new stable with second of 6 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 10 days ago, collared final strides. Can go well again despite 3 lb rise.

Form: 3-73632

Norcross Brow¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 72| D

4/1

Free-going type who showed fair form without winning for Ollie Pears. Much improved for new stable and went 2-4 with victory in 7-runner handicap at Beverley (7f, good) 11 days ago. Up 5 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

33/1

Fair maiden for Ed Walker. Posted a good third at Wolverhampton (7f) on yard bow in May but tongue tied when only eleventh of 13 on turf debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since.

Black Endeavour^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: M G Rimell| OR: 69

17/2

Resumed winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June and not discredited given he was left poorly placed with sixth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (6f, firm) 30 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Form: 3-65316

Crafty Blue^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 69| D

5/1

Bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces with success in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Up 4 lb and needs headgear to work for a second time now.

Form: 71-9991

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| D

9/1

Gained a maiden success in 7f handicap at Ffos Las in June and backed it up with a good second of 4 there (7f, good) 11 days ago. Well in the mix eased 1 lb.

Norfolk Blue^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 67

15/8

Remains winless but he arrives in good nick, denied a run 2f out when second of 6 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 15 days ago. A likely player off the same mark in a headgear change.

Form: 5-44252

Horace Wallace⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

14/1

Fair 6f all-weather winner early in 2026 but below that level switched to turf at Hamilton and Ayr last 2 runs. Needs to take a step forward.

Forecasts

Norfolk Blue (15/8), Norcross Brow (4/1), Crafty Blue (5/1), Galba (6/1), Berlinetta (7/1), Black Endeavour (17/2), Flyta (9/1), Horace Wallace (14/1), Napolian (16/1), Comprador (33/1)

NORCROSS BROW hasn't looked back since joining Charlie Clover and is weighted to notch a third win for the yard and edge out Black Endeavour, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Newbury last time. Both Norfolk Blue and Galba can also have a big say in this highly competitive handicap.
