Go Amber Go⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Lulu Stanford| T: B R Millman| OR: 65| D

11/4

Registered a double over this trip in the spring including when wearing blinkers for the first time at Windsor (good-to-firm). Returned to form the last twice and tackles selling company for the first time here.

Form: 116824

(7)

Dream Farr^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jenny Powell| T: E Walker| OR: 70| D

1/1

Running well in handicaps of late including when finishing third at Lingfield (good-to-soft) over this trip last time out. Won off a mark of 74 earlier this year and likely to prove hard to beat in this.

Form: 558333

(5)

Blackadder^h³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 40

80/1

19 race maiden and well beaten off a mark of 47 when last in action over 7f on good ground here last month. Likely to struggle today.

Form: 268/0-08

(4)

Diminutive^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson| T: G Harris| OR: 44| D

20/1

Successful twice in sprints including in a seller as a two-year-old. Well held on each of her last four starts and would probably prefer softer ground than is forecast here.

Form: 950674

(10)

Royal Normandy^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Joshua Bryan| T: G Harris| OR: 41| D

20/1

Three time winner but hasn't tasted success since an AW win at Kempton in December 2015. Others make more appeal at these weights.

Form: 707370

(1)

Tifl^b,t1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: H Main| OR: 55

14/1

Signs of ability in maidens but well held on all three handicap starts so far and wears a tongue tie for the first time today.

Form: 4-50990

(3)

Hisar¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mitch Godwin| T: R Harris| OR: 61

6/1

Maiden after ten starts and disappointing in the main so far in 2017. Blinkers worn for the first time at Leicester last time out are dispensed with today.

Form: 666575

(9)

Striking For Gold^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jane Elliott| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 48

33/1

Best effort so far came when fourth on debut over 7f at Wolverhampton. Disappointing since and well held on handicaps this summer. Drops markedly in trip and wears a visor for the first time here.

Form: 48608

(8)

Wilspa's Magic^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Hodges| OR: 40

25/1

11 race maiden but put in a better effort when fifth in first time blinkers over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Plenty to do at the weights.

Form: 8-00005

(6)

Coral Caye¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Tristan Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 42

33/1

Well beaten in two maiden races and a similar result in a 7f seller at Leicester (good-to-soft) last time out. Others have a more obvious chance in this.

Form: 0-57

Forecasts

Dream Farr (1/1), Go Amber Go (11/4), Hisar (6/1), Tifl (14/1), Diminutive (20/1), Royal Normandy (20/1), Wilspa's Magic (25/1), Coral Caye (33/1), Striking For Gold (33/1), Blackadder (80/1)

DREAM FARR tackles selling company for the first time today and can make a winning debut in this sphere. The selection has been running well in handicap company of late and can get the better of top weight Go Amber Go who finished runner-up in a handicap over C&D in June while the maiden Hisar is taken to put some modest efforts behind him by claiming third in this contest.
