7/2

Stopped the slide when second of 7 over C&D (heavy) 15 days ago but nudged back up 2 lb and this looks a more competitive race.

14/1

Won 3 times on all-weather earlier in the year and having edged back down to his last winning mark without doing too much wrong, he resumed winning ways with a bit up his sleeve in a 6-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last month. Respectable fifth at Epsom since.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 77| D

10/1

Off the mark in a Lingfield novice in January and followed up in 6f Leicester handicap 3 months later. Continued in form with 2 placed efforts last month and can have a line put through his latest Salisbury run (raced alone on far side).

Form: 8-11327

Robert Anstruther⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: H Candy| OR: 75| D

13/2

Suited by the return to 6f, scoring readily at Nottingham (good to firm) in July. Good second of 10 at Newmarket (good to firm again) since. Nudged up another 2 lb.

Form: 477312

Kennington²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 75

33/1

Impressively landed 7f novice at Lingfield in June but has disappointed in 2 handicaps since. Still early days but needs to get his career back on track.

Form: 3109

(3)

Kesta⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| D

33/1

Kept busy as a juvenile, winning 3 times at 5f/6f, but he has yet to hit top form in 4 runs this season. Needs to take a big step back in the right direction.

Form: 16-0050

(17)

Sound And Vision^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 72| CD

4/1

10/3, career best when winning 7-runner C&D handicap (good) 26 days ago. Remains unexposed as sprinters go and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 31-5321

Percy's Star^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 72

8/1

Showed improved form when making a winning handicap debut in first-time headgear at Leicester (5f, good) in June. Back on the up with blinkers added (retained) when close second of 9 at Yarmouth (7f, good) last Tuesday. Came clear of the rest and looks well treated off the same mark.

Forecasts

Brosay (7/2), Sound And Vision (4/1), Robert Anstruther (13/2), George Wickham (13/2), Percy's Star (8/1), Serenity Dream (17/2), Tenbob Tommy (10/1), Rage Of Thunder (11/1), Underwriter (14/1), Em Four (14/1), Arry Up (16/1), Mister Bluebird (16/1), First Folio (20/1), Star Chorus (25/1), On Edge (25/1), Kennington (33/1), Kesta (33/1)

PERCY'S STAR came 3 lengths clear with a lightly-raced improver at Yarmouth last week and looks well treated off the same mark. George Wickham is a very interesting handicap newcomer and heads the many possible dangers along with last month's C&D scorer Sound And Vision and Tony Carroll's Serenity Dream.
