Best Example¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 65

13/2

Two-time winner when owned by Godolphin and shaped like a return to form is near at this course earlier in the month. Particularly well-handicapped on old form, that wasn't all that long ago, and obvious claims if he can build on his latest run.

Form: 774043

(2)

Attain¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jenny Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 64

12/1

Won twice since joining this yard. Ground too soft for him when well beaten at Musselburgh last time but he's the type to bounce back, particularly off this sort of mark. Should go well provided the rain stays away.

Form: 344648

Tyrsal^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁷⁾| T: C Lines| OR: 64| C

13/2

Three-time course winner and not beaten far here last time out. Capable off this sort of mark on his day and clearly loves the course but perhaps a little better over 1m2f despite the fact he's won over this trip.

Form: 541292

Albert Boy¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Buckell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 61

16/1

Won twice at the start of this season but just struggling a little off his revised mark at present. Hit and miss type but player if he's on a going day and seemingly unaffected by ground, having won on heavy and good-to-firm.

Form: 125937

Angelical²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

6/1

One win from 13 starts came at the beginning of the season but struggling off a revised mark since. Will appreciate the return to faster conditions provided there's no rain here and not without an each-way squeek dropped another 1lb in the handicap.

Form: 134434

Hope Is High¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: John Berry| OR: 59| BF| CD

11/10

Missing the break pprobably cost her the race over C&D last time out when only beaten by a head and won over C&D back in June. Had been a slow starter earlier in her career, so slightly worrying to see the return of that trait but she will take a fair amount of beating if she gets away on terms here.

Form: 441232

Art Scholar⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: M Appleby| OR: 59| C

16/1

Course winner back in 2011 and has won 10 of his 71 starts in his career to date. Well beaten off this mark here last time though and no win since 2012. Hard to fancy having not managed to place in 12 starts since 2014.

Form: 66-6445

(7)

Astrosecret^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 50

66/1

Didn't take to hurdling last time out and well beaten on previous 10 starts on the Flat. Heavily reliant on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle on return to the level here.

Form: 8-76580

(4)

Galuppi^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: Danny Brock| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47

40/1

Still a maiden after 32 races on the Flat (has won over hurdles) and best efforts in the sphere have come with soft in the going description; opposable.

Form: 555983

Forecasts

Hope Is High (11/10), Angelical (6/1), Best Example (13/2), Tyrsal (13/2), Attain (12/1), Tuolumne Meadows (14/1), Albert Boy (16/1), Art Scholar (16/1), Galuppi (40/1), Astrosecret (66/1)

HOPE IS HIGH could take some beating here provided she gets away on terms and she gets the services of Silvestre De Sousa again today, a jockey with a jockey with a 23% strike-rate here. Best Example looks the main danger and looks on a very workable mark if anything like back to his best while Attain is in with an each-way chance on his return to a sounder surface provided there's no rainfall.
