40/1

Couple of decent efforts on the AW over 2m in conditions contests earlier this year but well held in handicap company since. Mark is falling as a result and worth a check in the market here.

12/1

Placed the last twice most recently over 1m4f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) earlier two weeks ago. Races off the same mark today and an interesting runner having won off higher marks in the past.

William Hunter⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: F Sweeney| T: A King| OR: 85| D

7/1

Disappointing since finishing fourth in the November Handicap at Doncaster (good-to-firm) last November. Races off a mark 3lb higher than for his most recent victory at Ascot last September.

Form: 164-845

New World Power¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 83| BF

11/4

Maiden after six starts and finished runner-up over 1m4f the last twice. Most recent of those efforts came when beaten a head at Brighton (good-to-firm) earlier this month and he is of interest in this contest.

Form: 234-522

Swaheen²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Doyle| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 81| D

17/2

Successful at Carlisle (soft) over 1m3f on his penultimate outing but well held off a 3lb higher mark there subsequently. Has been dropped 1lb by the handicapper following that disappointing effort.

Form: 99-6710

Visandi¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 80

50/1

Finished last of six on his Flat debut for this stable at Sandown over 1m6f on good-to-firm ground last time. Placed over hurdles for the yard last Autumn but generally disappointing since joining them from France early last year.

Form: 13821/6

Compton Mill²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 78

4/1

Twice successful in a 21 race career most recently over 1m2f at Newmarket (soft) in June last yaer. Finished a close third over 1m2f on soft ground here on his penultimate outing but held at Epsom subsequently.

Form: 247-336

Silca Star²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Tart| T: A King| OR: 73

9/1

Had just five starts with the best this year coming over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth (good) in May. Finished seventh of 11 on the AW at Kempton last time out and likely more is needed to take this.

Form: 2/5-937

Deinonychus²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| CD

14/1

Best effort so far this season came when runner-up in a five runner contest on soft ground over 1m2f at Nottingham last time. Underfoot conditions are forecast to be similar today and has won over C&D in the past.

Forecasts

New World Power (11/4), Compton Mill (4/1), William Hunter (7/1), Zzoro (7/1), Swaheen (17/2), Silca Star (9/1), Chancery (12/1), Deinonychus (14/1), Vettori Rules (40/1), Visandi (50/1)

Likely pacesetter ZZORO can register a second success of the season dropping in grade in this contest. The selection has been contesting Class 2 and 3 events in the main this season and he can defeat New World Power who has run well in finishing runner-up the last twice with Chancery the selection to claim third off a mark significantly lower than for his most recent victory.
