Emilies 21st Birthday Handicap

Off time: 18:29 | Winning time: 1m 24.04s

Spirit Of Breeze^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Won over C&D in October but flopped next time and had wind surgery after. Off 7 months afterwards and has returned to finish creditable thirds both starts this year, including over 1m at Windsor last time so merits respect back down in trip and returned to this track.

Form: 1619-33

Split Elevens⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 61| BF| CD

7/2

Three-time C&D winner who opened his account for the year in May then finished second at this track in June. Still in form when fourth of 9 at Wolverhampton 46 days ago when forced wide throughout and looks set to run well once more for thriving stable.

Elvetham^b⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 56| C

7/2

Scored for the third time this year over 6f at Lingfield 9 days ago. Now back up in trip under a penalty with a bit more required.

Form: 320361

Quick Quasar^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: William Cox| T: A Watson| OR: 65| D

25/1

Off the mark at Kempton in March but has been wayward since. Bit better when fourth of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton 13 days ago in first-time blinkers but still looked quirky and may not be one for maximum faith.

Form: 021974

Midnight's Dream^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Parr| OR: 58| D

17/2

Placed 3 times in a row, most recently third of 10 at Wolverhampton 14 days ago. Clearly in good heart but this looks slightly deeper.

Form: 006323

Wind Summer^v¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dominique Van Der Kraats⁽⁷⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 63

80/1

Fair form at best but patchy with it and ran badly over 9.5f at Wolverhampton when last seen so he's best watched with inexperienced rider taking over. Visor replaces cheekpieces and now drops in trip after 136 days off.

Form: 723-727

Francisco^t,v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 57| CD

12/1

Won over C&D for this rider in April but has disappointed since.

Form: 431686

Chelio⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 61

8/1

Settled better when second of 9 to subsequent winner in a 7f handicap at Goodwood in June. Placed twice on all-weather previously so not without hope taking on older rivals for the first time.

Form: 832-682

(3)

Blue Samuna^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: James Owen| OR: 59

33/1

Not much promise on first outing since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when eighth of 10 in a handicap over 6f at Newmarket 13 days ago but may be better suited by return to 7f and new yard will likely find the key to her at some point.

Form: 646-678

(11)

Captive Beauty²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R Burdon| OR: 58

18/1

Shaped well when much improved on handicap debut, finishing second of 10 at Wolverhampton 23 days ago, not getting a clear run entering final 1f but keeping on. Looks capable of better and could prove a danger to all.

Form: 8-602

(5)

My Dad Tom^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 58

40/1

Yet to win from 11 runs. Last of 4 in a handicap at Lingfield on turf in June but suffered an over-reach. Returns to all-weather and back up in trip but may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 466-664

(13)

Oxford Circus⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: James Owen| OR: 51

7/2

Won at Dundalk on all-weather in February before losing way in headgear on turf after (now removed). Has tumbled down the weights and has joined a stable that could find the key to him so he's one to watch carefully in the betting back on all-weather.

Lerwick⁹

Weight: 10-6| Age: 6

T: D M Loughnane J: Hope Regan

Forecasts

Lerwick (3/1), Split Elevens (7/2), Oxford Circus (7/2), Elvetham (7/2), Spirit Of Breeze (6/1), Chelio (8/1), Midnight's Dream (17/2), Francisco (12/1), Captive Beauty (18/1), Quick Quasar (25/1), Blue Samuna (33/1), My Dad Tom (40/1), Wind Summer (80/1)

CAPTIVE BEAUTY is less exposed than most of these and shaped well when a close second last time so another step forward could be enough for her to edge out the experienced Split Elevens. Oxford Circus merits a check in the betting given the stable he's joined.
