Right Touch²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 99

8/1

All-weather debutante who put in a career best at Chester this summer but seemingly in the handicapper's grip on recent performances, may struggle from tough draw.

Form: 206703-

(11)

That Is The Spirit

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: D O'Meara| OR: 96

12/1

Inconsistent performer who makes all-weather debut here. Every chance if taking to a synthetic surface but best performances have been when making the running and he could struggle to dominate from the front with a tough draw.

Form: 07169-1

(3)

Supersta²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 96

5/1

Was seen to good effect here in a Class 2 contest in May. Looks to have a strong form chance and all rests on whether he's ready to go after five months off the track.

Form: 281034

(6)

Intransigent¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 95

7/1

Consistent performer who has struggled to get his head in front in recent times. Has fallen in the weights as a result though and talented 7lb claimer booked. Holds every chance.

Form: 412250

Volunteer Point²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: M R Channon| OR: 94

5/1

C&D winner who has failed to prove as effective on turf this summer. Should be competitive off current mark and holds an each-way chance.

Form: 05319-0

(5)

Charles Molson

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: P R Chamings| OR: 92

11/2

Yet to win on the all-weather but has a nice draw and been performing with credit of late. Trainer has a good record with this jockey and this gelding is capable of being involved at the business end.

Form: 5691-30

(8)

He's No Saint²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91

6/1

Excellent second last time out over C&D and has fared better with the draw today. Still some scope off current mark and ought to be involved in the finish.

Form: 100221

(4)

Mohab

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 90

8/1

Out of form and probably needs more relief from the handicapper. Jockey yet to ride a winner for this trainer.

Form: 0008-65

(2)

Loyalty⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 87

16/1

Consistent and may have needed the run when last seen on return from 7-month break. However, mark looks high enough in a competitve affair such as this.

Form: 421459

(7)

Forceful Appeal²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 86

50/1

Smart all-weather performer on his day and handicap mark looks workable but may have had issue's of late judged by his interrupted campaign/poor form and looks a risky proposition.

Form: 375261

(9)

Baddilini

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Bailey| OR: 84

10/1

Good third at Lingfield two-days ago but this looks a tougher race and needs more if he's to end long losing run.

INTRANSIGENT has fallen a long way in the weights since his Listed win at Lingfield in 2014 but he's performed with credit of late and may be well handicapped. Supersta was in great form when last seen and should get a strong pace to run at here. If he's fit after his summer break he should be involved in the finish. Volunteer Point has shown how effective she is on the all-weather and came good around this time last year. 1. Intransigent 2. Supersta 3. Volunteer Point
