Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Davies| T: S Dow| OR: 79| CD

7/2

Won this race from 1 lb higher mark last year when with Andrew Balding and ran her best race since when second of 9 over C&D 17 days ago. Looks sure to go well.

Bridget's View^p,h,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 78| D

11/1

Creditable efforts back to back at Kempton on all-weather with hood and cheekpieces, finishing fifth of 9 32 days ago. Down slightly in grade here but not so consistent on turf.

Form: 877655

(9)

Wreck It Ryley^v²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch| T: A D Brown| OR: 75| D

8/1

Better known for 6f exploits, finishing a good third of 26 at Goodwood in July, but he's not proving so good at this trip and was last on soft going earlier this month. Visor replaces blinkers but looks best opposed.

Form: 896370

Silver Trumpet^b1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75| CD

4/1

Twice a C&D winner, including in July, but not good at the start when fifth of 9 over C&D 17 days ago. Capable of making a big impact if breaking on terms in first-time blinkers.

Form: 761525

Velvet Rhythm⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| D

13/2

Won 4 times on turf earlier in the year and shaped very well when third of 12 at Wolverhampton on all-weather 9 days ago, keeping on well having started awkwardly. Ran poorly on sole start at this track in August but holds interesting claims if that was just a blip.

Form: 130373

Havana Smile¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74

15/2

Better effort when third of 8 in a 5f handicap at Sandown in August but unseated when jinking in first-time cheekpieces 16 days ago. Cheekpieces removed and he needs to prove himself as well suited by this step back up to 7f.

Form: 71653U

Eazy On The Eye²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: H Main| OR: 70

7/2

Yet to win on turf but finished runner-up 3 times in a row in handicaps before seventh of 11 over 1m at Ascot 23 days ago, turned out quickly and doing too much too soon. Back down in trip here but not sure to get her way out in front.

Form: 702227

(7)

Fresh Fade²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 70

28/1

Yet to fire since joining current connections, including when fifth of 6 over C&D in a handicap 27 days ago when took strong hold and weakened. Hard to fancy in current form.

Form: 5-60605

(4)

Our Guy^v1⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 67

100/1

Scored at 33/1 when off the mark at Windsor over 6f in May on handicap debut but has since pulled up there and finished ninth of 11 at Kempton in July. Now tries first-time visor and steps back up to 7f after 87 days off so he looks best watched.

Form: 5-651P9

(2)

Middleton View^h,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 62

22/1

5f winner on all-weather in December but no progress this year. Possibly needed run when eighth of 13 in a handicap at Yarmouth 10 days ago on return from a 3-month break.

Form: 579458

Forecasts

Eazy On The Eye (7/2), Musical Angel (7/2), Silver Trumpet (4/1), Velvet Rhythm (13/2), Havana Smile (15/2), Wreck It Ryley (8/1), Bridget's View (11/1), Middleton View (22/1), Fresh Fade (28/1), Our Guy (100/1)

MUSICAL ANGEL won this race from a similar mark last year and a recent second over C&D served warning that she's ready to strike again. Velvet Rhythm shaped really well last time and is very much respected but her blowout on sole start at this track is a concern, while Silver Trumpet could go well if starting better than last time.
