5/1

C&D winner on good-to-firm ground last August. Beaten three times this year with his best effort coming over C&D on his return to action and interesting off a mark 1lb higher than for his latest success.

My Meteor¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Patrick Pilley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss N L-Beavis| OR: 47| D

33/1

Well beaten in all four starts since joining this stable. Latest of those came off a 3lb higher mark on the AW at Wolverhampton earlier this month and while he's well in on his old form others make more appeal at present.

Form: 790/786

(10)

Very First Blade^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Robert Tart| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 47| D

Catalinas Diamond^h,t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: P G Murphy| OR: 45| D

5/1

Running well without winning so far in 2017 including when fifth of 13 over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark here but vulnerable to better handicapped rivals.

Form: 0-65465

Mostashreqah^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

10/1

Finished runner-up over 5f on the AW at Wolverhampton off this mark earlier this month. Returning to form on that occasion and interesting if repeating that effort here.

Form: 08-8643

Royal Normandy^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J Quinn| T: G Harris| OR: 45

12/1

Out of form in the main since joining this yard earlier this year. Handicap mark is falling as a result but have to go back to December 2015 to find his most recent success.

Form: 090970

(6)

A Definite Diamond³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: G Harris| OR: 45

66/1

Well held in maiden company for Milton Bradley in 2015 and no show in three runs for this stable since returning from a long lay-off this spring. Others make more appeal here.

Form: 000/000

(8)

Celerity^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 45

16/1

Maiden after 18 starts but had just the four starts on turf. Well beaten over 6f here on good-to-firm ground on her penultimate outing and others have more obvious chances today.

Forecasts

Our Lord (9/4), Prominna (9/2), Quantum Dot (5/1), David's Beauty (5/1), Catalinas Diamond (5/1), Very First Blade (7/1), Mostashreqah (10/1), Royal Normandy (12/1), Celerity (16/1), My Meteor (33/1), A Definite Diamond (66/1)

OUR LORD can register his first success in over a year by taking this sprint handicap for trainer Michael Attwater. The selection debuted for this stable when narrowly beaten into fourth at Bath earlier this month and he is taken to see off Very First Blade who has run well on his two most recent starts at Hamilton while confirmed hold-up horse Prominna ran well on his return from a long absence last time out and can claim third.
