Ray Mon Dough^t⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: H Crouch| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 87| D

10/3

Made a winning debut in 4-runner all-weather Lingfield maiden on sole start in 2025. Back on track when second in novice on turf there in May and put a low-key handicap debut behind him when the impressive winner of a 4-runner Leicester handicap (6f) last weekend. The one to beat under a penalty.

Form: 1-6261

Righthere Rightnow^p1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 81

8/1

Ran well after a 3-month break when ¾-length third of 12 to Diligently at C&D in June but was always behind after a slow break when last of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 440030

Waistcoat^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Burdon| OR: 80| D

8/1

Better than ever when getting his head back in front at Chelmsford (6f) in January and bounced back to form to double his tally for the year in an 8-runner handicap at Newbury (6f) 25 days ago, doing well to come from off the pace. Not certain to back that up but respected nonetheless.

Form: 92-1901

Under The Twilight¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: M Blake| OR: 80| CD

11/2

Three-time C&D winner (latest on her penultimate outing in July) was third in this race last year and arrives here on the back of an excellent second in a 26-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 19 days ago. Leading player again.

Buccabay²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| CD

7/1

Won at Kempton (6f) in December. Mostly creditable efforts in defeat on all-weather at the start of 2026 and produced another good effort fresh when 2 lengths third of 8 to Amazonian Dream in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago.

Form: 1-52373

Lequinto¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77| CD

8/1

Landed his eighth course win here in June, 6 of those coming at C&D. Ran respectably in a better race than he need contest when fifth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago, so not ruled out back at this venue.

Form: 133125

Tenbob Tommy¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss S West| OR: 77| D

11/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a Lingfield novice back in January and followed up returned to handicap company 3 months later in 9-runner event at Leicester. Another good effort after another 4-month break when third in a Brighton handicap (6f) 10 days ago and his mark is unchanged.

Form: 298-113

(9)

Cashbox^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: C Hills| OR: 79| D

9/2

A dual 6f/7f nursery scorer last autumn. Advanced his form in first-time cheekpieces when a close second at Leicester last month and went a long way to confirming that improvement when fifth of 26 at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago.

Form: 11-0725

(8)

Amazonian Dream^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 76| BF| CD

9/1

Has a good record here, notching his fourth C&D success here in July. Not quite at his best from a mark only 1 lb higher when seventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 21 days ago and perhaps vulnerable to more progressive types from this rating.

Forecasts

Ray Mon Dough (9/4), Waistcoat (5/1), Under The Twilight (6/1), Amazonian Dream (7/1), Tenbob Tommy (8/1), Lequinto (10/1), Cashbox (10/1), Righthere Rightnow (12/1), Buccabay (12/1)

Hard to rule any of these out, but RAY MON DOUGH looks well on his way to becoming a smart sprinter and can defy a penalty for his Leicester win 8 days ago. Waistcoat is another player on the back of his Newbury win, whilst last year's third Under The Twilight should be in the mix again after a fine effort at Glorious Goodwood.
