Tenison⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 63

10/1

Found improvement when opening account over shorter trip at Yarmouth in June and may not have seen out stiffer stamina test when seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1¾m, 9/1) 45 days ago. Better expected here.

13/2

Showed ability in a trio starts this year, latest when fifth of 9 in novice (14/1) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 28 days ago, barely adequate test. Could well have more to offer now upped in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 545

Eze Sur Mer⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 62

11/2

Wolverhampton winner earlier this year who found further improvement when taking 7-runner all-weather handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 16 days ago. Tries longer trip now and remains feasibly treated.

7/1

Returned to form when creditable second of 13 in handicap over shorter trip at Windsor (11.4f) 12 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and warrants respect.

22/1

Belatedly off the mark when landing 6-runner minor event over shorter trip at Yarmouth (11.5f) 44 days ago, very much having run of race. This is much more competitive, however.

66/1

Matched previous best form when good third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 19 days ago. Still without a win, though, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. 1 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Shirakawa (11/4), Caraway (7/2), A Daughters Love (5/1), Time To Sparkle (11/2), Darkest Red (6/1), Blue Hill (13/2), Dijon Gone (7/1), Tenison (10/1), Eze Sur Mer (18/1), Virtue Diligence (20/1), Fletcher (22/1), Daretobedifferent (25/1), Sullom Voe (33/1), Flag Of Eva (40/1), Eshowe (50/1), Antiquarian (50/1), Cormorant Rock (66/1)

Preference is for CARAWAY, who remains on a handy mark and will be suited by the likely strong gallop set here. Time To Sparkle and Blue Hill head the list of dangers.
