Asteverdi^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Hoodless⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 75| D

8/1

Winless since 2024 but she posted a good third of 13 to Gunfighter in handicap over C&D 30 days ago. Not out of things.

Cancan In The Rain^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Gihan Arnolda| OR: 73| D

9/1

Dual 7f/1m winner for Denis Quinn last August. Made a positive start for current yard but below form of late, sixth of 12 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago. Bounce back is needed.

It'sneverjustone^b1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73

11/1

Completed 7f handicap double at the Galway Festival last summer. Yet to add to that in 2026 but hinted at a revival with fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, soft) 22 days ago. One to consider with blinkers added for the first time.

Form: 446005

Berry Clever¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Davies| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 72| CD

7/2

Doubled his tally for the season in 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago. Up 3 lb but this C&D scorer needs considering.

Form: 444441

Gunfighter³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J Butler| OR: 71| CD

5/6

All 4 wins on all-weather, and he resumed winning ways in 13-runner handicap over C&D 30 days ago, doing well given he conceded first run. Up 3 lb but merits serious consideration with Billy Loughnane up.

Form: 791751

Longlai^p1³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: George Baker| OR: 71| CD

66/1

C&D winner but on a losing run and he came in well held over C&D last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time now.

Form: 070-480

(7)

The Hare Rail^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joe Leavy| T: R A Teal| OR: 70

11/1

Finally got off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 18 days ago, just holding on. Can go well again despite a 4 lb weight rise.

Form: 472931

Freda¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: P Phelan| OR: 68| CD

22/1

Opened her account in novice over C&D in April but has failed to kick on sent handicapping, just a respectable fifth of 10 over C&D 16 days ago. Bit more is needed if she's to double her tally.

Form: 361545

(8)

Port Erin²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| CD

40/1

A 3-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025. Yet to hit top form this season despite a slipping mark, posting a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (1m, good to soft) last time. Needs to step forward.

Form: 9-08574

(5)

King Of Charm¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 61| D

100/1

Ended a losing sequence at Newmarket (1m) in June. Well below par both runs since though, too free when eighth of 12 there (1m) 15 days ago.

Form: 062178

Forecasts

Gunfighter (5/6), Berry Clever (7/2), Asteverdi (8/1), Cancan In The Rain (9/1), The Hare Rail (11/1), It'sneverjustone (11/1), Freda (22/1), Port Erin (40/1), Longlai (66/1), King Of Charm (100/1)

Lots with chances but GUNFIGHTER looks the way to go given he did well to get up over C&D last time and now has the services of Billy Loughnane for the first time. It'sneverjustone is next on the list after taking a step back in the right direction with his recent Ayr fifth, while Asteverdi and The Hare Rail also need factoring into this open-looking handicap.
