Fozzy Osbourne¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Leavy| T: G Harris| OR: 57

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was a close third on his C&D handicap debut last month. Failed to repeat that when fifth of 9 over 1¼m here 16 days ago but may do better back down in trip.

Too Much Trevor¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 56| C

14/1

Discovered the winning knack of late, scoring twice at this track (6f/7f) this summer. Does need to shrug off a poor run here last time, though. Back up in trip.

Galactic Glow^p,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 56

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2025 but has finished runner-up 4 times this summer, including going down by only a neck over C&D (good to firm) latest. Likely to give another good account.

Desert Charm¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR: 55| CD

9/4

Back to winning ways over C&D (good) in June and followed up in a classified event at Lingfield (good to firm) 12 days later. Edged out only on the line when bidding for the hat-trick at Salisbury (1m, good) last time. Should go well again.

Form: 96-3112

Redhot Whisper^h⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 54

7/1

Long-standing maiden but he's dropped plenty in the weights and placed efforts on his last 3 starts (C&D latest) show he's down to a mark he can be very competitive from. Yard in form. Another to consider.

Form: 0-90332

The Bureau Club^h,t1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 60

22/1

Maiden who hasn't helped her cause by regularly missing the break. Respectable fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on first time.

Ajrad^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 53| CD

5/1

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 12 to Too Much Trevor here (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Another who can't be discounted.
